Warriors Rise

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Listen... they try to keep us living in fear
But we are stronger when we stand as one
The time has come to help our brothers rise
And show them that their freedom has begun
[Verse 1]
See them build their walls to keep us down
But they can't stop the rising of the sun
Every day I watch my people bow their heads
While chains of doubt make heavy hearts so numb
I know there's strength inside that's waiting there
Like lions sleeping in the mountain heights
Tonight we'll show them what it means to be
The ones who bring the morning's guiding light
[Chorus]
I and I are warriors of light (warriors of light)
Breaking through the darkness of the night (of the night)
Standing strong together we unite (yes we unite)
I and I are warriors of light
(Ay-oh, warriors rise up, ay-oh)
[Verse 2]
Feel the rhythm as we march along
With drums of freedom beating in our souls
Every step we take breaks another chain
As fear dissolves and courage takes hold
Look into my eyes and you will see
The fire burning bright to lead the way
Take my hand and soon you'll understand
That love will guide us to a brighter day
[Chorus]
I and I are warriors of light (warriors of light)
Breaking through the darkness of the night (of the night)
Standing strong together we unite (yes we unite)
I and I are warriors of light
(Ay-oh, warriors rise up, ay-oh)
[Bridge]
[Horns Section]
Rise up, rise up (Rise up now)
Break free, break free (Break free now)
Your time has come to see
The warrior you're meant to be
[Final Chorus]
I and I are warriors of light (warriors rise)
Breaking through the darkness of the night (breaking free)
Standing strong together we unite (standing strong)
I and I are warriors of light
(Ay-oh, Jah guide us, ay-oh)
