One Small State, One Big Heart

Lyrics

[Intro] Rhode Island, are you ready? One small state, one big heart! [Verse 1] From the bay breeze rolling through the town, To the ferry lights when the sun goes down, When the week gets rough and the plans fall through, We find our feet and we come right through. [Pre-Chorus] A little grit, a little grace, A neighbor saving you a place, Raise your voice, let everybody know— We’re still here, and we’re ready to go! [Chorus] We rise up, we hold on, Sing it together till the hard times are gone! We stand tall, heart wide, Rhode Island strong, with the whole crew by our side! We rise up, we hold on, Every new morning is a chance to carry on! [Verse 2] From the mills to the boats out on the water, Every hand helps somebody’s son or daughter, Rain may come and the road may bend, We make a way, we show up again. [Pre-Chorus] A little grit, a little grace, A neighbor saving you a place, Raise your voice, let everybody know— We’re still here, and we’re ready to go! [Chorus] We rise up, we hold on, Sing it together till the hard times are gone! We stand tall, heart wide, Rhode Island strong, with the whole crew by our side! We rise up, we hold on, Every new morning is a chance to carry on! [Bridge] If you stumble, we’ll make room, If the sky turns gray, we’ll bring the tune, From every street to every shore, We’ve got each other—what could we need more? [Final Chorus] We rise up, we hold on, Sing it together till the hard times are gone! We stand tall, heart wide, Rhode Island strong, with the whole crew by our side! We rise up, we hold on, Every new morning is a chance to carry on! [Outro] Rhode Island, rise up! One small state, one big heart!
