Still We Rise

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Male] I was chasing shadows through the pouring rain, Smiling on the outside, hiding all the pain. Every closed door taught me how to stand, Now I’m building hope with these broken hands. They said I’d never make it, I’d never find my way, But every scar became the light that guides today. [Verse 2 – Female] I remember nights when my heart felt cold, Dreams were slipping farther every year I’d grow old. But a quiet voice kept calling out my name, Saying, “Don’t you quit, you’re stronger than the flames.” Now I’m learning every tear was not in vain, Flowers always bloom after storms and rain. [Pre-Chorus – Both] When the world says “give up,” We’ll answer, “not today.” Every mountain standing tall Will move when we have faith. [Chorus – Both] We’ll rise, we’ll rise, even when the sky is falling, Hold the light inside, no matter who’s calling. Every dream is waiting on the other side of fear, Step by step together, we’ll make it from here. If your heart is breaking, don’t let hope disappear, We’re living proof tomorrow always starts right here. [Verse 3 – Male] I don’t need perfection, I just need one more try, Every fall reminds me I was made to fly. The road gets lonely, but I won’t let go, Because the strongest trees are the ones that grow slow. [Verse 4 – Female] I found strength inside the pieces left behind, Turns out hope was never something hard to find. Every heartbeat whispers, “Keep believing still,” The impossible will bend to a faithful will. [Bridge – Male & Female] Male: If you lose your way, I’ll remind you who you are. Female: If your light grows dim, I’ll help you find your spark. Male: Through the darkest night— Female: Through the longest fight— Both: We were never meant to walk this road alone. [Final Chorus – Both] We’ll rise, we’ll rise, higher than we’ve ever been, Every ending is another place to begin. We’ll carry every lesson, every wound, every tear, Turning all our weakness into something sincere. When the morning finds us standing without fear, We’ll look back and smile because we made it here. [Outro – Both] No dream is too far… No heart is too scarred… Keep walking forward… The best is where you are going.
