[Intro — airy vocal fragments] Mina… You’re the fire I carried home Rise… strong… tonight… [Verse 1 — Singer A] I watched you learn the morning With your small hand in mine You turned the fear to forward steps One brave breath at a time I kept the porch light burning Through every changing year You found your own direction And left your doubt back here [Pre-Chorus — Singers B and C] No fear, no shame, the night will know your name I’ll stand beside you, whatever comes your way No wall, no storm can make your spirit bend My daughter, my heart, my friend [Chorus — All] I am Mina, I rise, I own the night Strong in my heart, burning bright — Mina! — Mina! When the world says no, we say go, we fight Stand together, we light the sky tonight — Rise! — Strong! — Mina, tonight! [Post-Chorus — Ensemble] Mina, Mina, rise Mina, Mina, shine Mina, Mina, strong You’ve been ready all along [Verse 2 — Singer A] I remember scraped-up knees And questions after dark You found a road through every doubt And carried your own spark I’m not here to hold you back I’m here to watch you fly The world is wide before you now Go meet it eye to eye [Pre-Chorus — Singers B and C] No fear, no shame, the night will know your name Your feet are steady, your heart has learned the way No wall, no storm can make your spirit bend My daughter, my heart, my friend [Chorus — All] I am Mina, I rise, I own the night Strong in my heart, burning bright — Mina! — Mina! When the world says no, we say go, we fight Stand together, we light the sky tonight — Rise! — Strong! — Mina, tonight! [Breakdown — All Girls] Higher — Stronger — Forever — Your hand was once inside mine Now you reach beyond the sky Higher — Stronger — Mina, hear me say: I’ll be the voice behind you When the road is hard to see And every dream you carry Will always matter to me [Final Drop — All] I am Mina, I rise, I own the night Strong in my heart, burning bright — Mina! — Mina! When the world says no, we say go, we fight Stand together, we light the sky tonight — Rise! — Strong! — Higher! — Mina, tonight! [Outro — Ensemble] Mina, rise Mina, shine Mina, strong You’ve been ready all along Mina… Tonight…
