[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1: Singer A] Dad said, “Mina, keep your feet beneath you” I walked the dark, I learned to stand Found fire in these tired hands Every scar became my plan I rise, I rise, I take my land [Pre-Chorus: Singers B & C] No fear, no shame, the night will know our name Dad’s voice in my chest, calling me through the flame No fear, no shame, we won’t be turned away [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 [Singer A] He gave me roots, I found my wings [Singers B & C] Found your wings! [All] Mina! Mina! We light the sky tonight [Verse 2: Singer A] He kept the porch light on for me When every road felt hard to see Said, “Your name is more than history” Now I carry his belief in me [Pre-Chorus: Singers B & C] No fear, no shame, the night will know our name From a father’s steady hands, we learn to rise again No fear, no shame, we won’t be turned away [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 [Breakdown: All Girls] Higher — stronger — forever Higher — stronger — forever [Vocoder Double: Singer A] I rise, I rise [Ensemble Chants] Rise! Strong! Tonight! Rise! Strong! Tonight! [Final 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 [Singer C] Higher! [Singer B] Stronger! [Singer A] For Dad! [All] Forever — Mina! We light the sky tonight Mina! Mina! [Outro] I rise, I rise, I take my land
