[Verse 1]
Woke up to a stubborn sky
All this gray on my window
Coffee steam and a quiet sigh
But my heart says
“we won’t stay low”
Bare feet on the kitchen tile
Dance steps in my old T‑shirt
Spin around
Talk myself to a smile
Every setback’s just a growth spurt
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been counting all these cloudy hours
Tracing shapes in the heavy air
But I feel something in me turning
Bright as if the sun was already there (already there)
[Chorus]
Here comes my brighter day
I can feel it on the way
Even if the sky’s still heavy
I’m already on my way
I’m singing
“rise
Rise
Rise”
To the light behind my eyes
Storm can stay or fade away
Here comes my brighter day (hey!)
[Verse 2]
To‑do list on the fridge door
Looks like a little mountain
But step one
Throw the windows wide
Let my hope come pouring
Pouring in
Text friends
“meet you in July”
Plan a picnic in my mind
I can taste the watermelon sky
Summer living in my inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat like a little drum
Kicking up a brand-new start
I don’t need the weather to agree
There’s a sunrise sneaking through my heart (through my heart)
[Chorus]
Here comes my brighter day
I can feel it on the way
Even if the sky’s still heavy
I’m already on my way
I’m singing
“rise
Rise
Rise”
To the light behind my eyes
Storm can stay or fade away
Here comes my brighter day
[Bridge]
Maybe the rain keeps falling
Maybe the wind still cries
I’ll be the warmth I’m wanting
I’ll be my own clear sky (oh yeah)
Every laugh
Every little brave step
Is another golden ray
I don’t wait around for summer
I become the longest day
[Chorus]
Here comes my brighter day
I can feel it on the way
Even if the sky’s still heavy
I’m already on my way
I’m singing
“rise
Rise
Rise”
Till the shadows slip aside
Clouds can drift where they may
Here comes my brighter day
[Outro]
Sun return inside my chest
Glow grows
Can’t hold it back
Walking forward
Nothing less
Than a sky I’ll never lack
