[Intro – Soft pads + airy choir] (Yeah… let it rain… mmh…) “Rise again… rise again…” [choir hums] [Verse 1] I’ve been standing like a dry tree, Cracked ground underneath my feet. Waiting on a promise I’ve been too worn out to keep. Winds keep trying to bend me, Pressure pulling at my frame— But the roots You planted in me Still whisper Your name. (“Still whisper Your name…”) [Pre-Chorus] Even when the skies stay silent, I can feel Your strength inside me… [Chorus – Strong, smooth, memorable] When the roots remember rain, Hope starts rising up again. Even in the driest seasons, Faith still finds a way to win. When the storm forgets my name, Your voice calls me back again. I’m still standing through the pain— When the roots remember rain. (Choir echoes: “Remember rain… remember rain…”) [Verse 2] I’ve seen mountains in my pathway, Tall cliffs from yesterday— But You keep carving footholds Where my fears used to stay. I thought the valley claimed me, Thought the journey lost its flame— But You turned my tears to rivers Running toward new strength. (“Running toward new strength…”) [Pre-Chorus] Even when the night won’t end, Your dawn comes fighting back again… [Chorus – Bigger, fuller] When the roots remember rain, Hope starts rising up again. Even in the driest seasons, Faith still finds a way to win. When the storm forgets my name, Your love calls me back again. I grow taller through the pain— When the roots remember rain. [Bridge – Motivational + metaphorical] I’m the seed You didn’t lose, I’m the branch You shape with truth. Every trial You send my way Pushes life into my roots. Let the winds blow louder, Let the nights fall colder— Your hand is the sun On my tired shoulders… [Breakdown – Minimal, emotional] (Mmm… yeah…) Water me, Lord… Grow me again… [Final Chorus – Anthem version] When the roots remember rain, I rise higher than my pain. Every barren place in me Turns to garden in Your name. I’m unshaken, unafraid— Grace is sunlight in my veins. And I live to rise again— When the roots remember rain. (Choir: “Rise again… rise again… remember rain…”) [Outro – Smooth fade] Let it rain… Let it rain… Mmm… I’ll rise again…
