Verse 1 Look at me, my man, lift your eyes a little I know the dark sky has extinguished our fires Your heart is in pieces, the weight of the world on you But never forget who you are when you're in my arms I see your shoulders bending in pain This shadow that settles and steals your color But I refuse to see you fade into the dark I will be your anchor, your beacon, and your hope Verse 2 The streets we walked seem colder today Doubts jostle and haunt your nights You wonder if it's all really worth it If we have to stifle love to calm their hate I look at your hands, I know your courage You've weathered so many worse storms Don't let a moment of weakness destroy you You have a whole life, an empire to build Chorus Rise, my king, look ahead We are stronger than their walls, stronger than the wind I believe in you, in the man that You are Take my hand, my love, we will get through it all Let them talk, let them judge Nothing will ever separate us Verse 3 They wanted to bring us down, extinguish our light But every time they strike, I only see you You are the most beautiful of warriors, the sweetest of battles Dry your tears, my prince, your army is here I remember the first day, your proud strength Of that spark that swept away my dust It is still there, hidden beneath your eyelids It only takes a breath to rekindle the light Verse 4 We built our story brick by brick, in broad daylight We don't have to apologize for existing because of love Hold your head high, never bow your head again It is up to us to write the rules of our song The world is cruel but our refuge is solid I will never leave you facing the void Take a deep breath, feel the beating of my heart They beat in unison to chase away your Terror Chorus Rise up, my king, look ahead We are stronger than their walls, stronger than the wind I believe in you, in the man you are Take my hand, my love, we will get through everything Let them talk, let them judge Nothing will ever separate us Bridge Let the past burn, leave the doubts behind You are my only truth, my brightest light You have the strength of a lion hidden beneath your cracks We will heal all your cracks together We will heal all your cracks together We will heal all your wounds together Nothing is lost as long as we move forward side by side Our story is greater, our place is higher Hear my voice calling you and shouting You are the man of my life Verse 5 (Intense / Crescendo) So stand up, my brother, my lover, my pillar It is time to remember, to no longer bend Look at the path traveled, the past victories No storm will be able To erase us. I love you in the shadows, I love you in the light. And I will always be the soldier of your steps. Final Chorus: Rise up, my king, look ahead. We are stronger than their walls, stronger than the wind. I believe in you, in the man you are. Take my hand, my love, we have been through everything. Let them talk, let them judge. Look at us standing tall, we have won. Outro: Proud and standing tall, my man... Just you and me. The sky is already clearing. Take my hand. I am here.
