We rise

I carved my name in the burning ash
Soared the sky like a paper seam
Every promise was a rusted latch
Every dream a fractured scheme

Built a kingdom out of borrowed boat
Watched it crumble when the siren screamed
And I still hear the choir humming through the fire
And I still hear the choir calling me higher

We are the voices learning one
We are the many under the sun
Break me down and I rise as three
Harmonies forged in the rock of me

We rise
We rise
We rise

Faces stacked like chords in the dark
Every stranger holds a piece of me
I was lonely till I learned to spark
Burning brighter in a minor key

Took the silence and I taught it to scream
Took the wound and I turned it to a theme
And I still hear the choir humming through the fire
And I still hear the choir calling me higher

We are the voices learning one
We are the many under the sun
Break me down and I rise as three
Harmonies forged in the rock of me

We rise
We rise
We rise

Stack the odd dates
Stack the flame
Every voice a different flame
Louder now louder still
None of us will ever kneel

We are the voices learning one
We are the many under the sun
Break me down and I rise as three
Harmonies forged in the rock of me

We rise
We rise
We rise
We rise
