Verse1
I am a nation
I am a million faces formed together
made for elevation
I am a soldier
I won’t surrender
Faith is like a fire that never
Burns to embers

Who’s gonna stand up
Who’s gonna fight
The voice of the unheard
Who’s gonna break these chains
and lies
Love is the answer

I gotta speak it believe it that’s
how I feel inside
I (I) can’t (can’t) sit here quiet

Pre1
You can take my heart
You can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold dead
chest

Chorus
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane
Louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster
Feels like thunder
Magic
Static
Call me a fanatic
It’s our world
They can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us

Verse2
Hey can you hear me
Hey are you listening
Sleeping in the shadows
Could be making history
Walk through the fire
Walk on the water
Used to be a slave
But now you are a conqueror

Pre2
They can take my heart
They can take my breath
When they pry it from my cold
dead chest

Chorus
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane
Louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster
Feels like thunder
Magic
Static
Call me a fanatic
It’s our world
They can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance
You can't resist us

Bridge
Rising up up up up up up
We're rising up up up up
The voice of the unheard
Love is the answer
Love is the answer
