Together We Rise (Remastered)

[Intro] [soft choir hum swelling] We were dust on the ground Silent Scattered Hands kept reaching out To nothing To nowhere [Verse 1] Then a spark in the dark One voice started praying Bare feet on the earth Every heartbeat saying We are tired of the chains We are tired But trying Lift our faces to the dawn Even shaking Even crying [Pre-Chorus] Hear that thunder in our chests Feel the tremble in our knees Every tremor Every breath Becomes a marching plea [Chorus] Together we rise From the ruins From the ruins Together we rise Every scar sings hallelujah Raise your hands Lift your eyes To the breaking of the sky If we fall We fall as one And together Together we rise (oh-oh) Together we rise [Verse 2] [drums enter Low and distant] Rhythms on the red earth Echoes of an ancient prayer Elephant steps in the dust Shake the doubt from the air Copper bells on our wrists Gold light in our sight As we circle As we stamp Fear is backing out of life [Pre-Chorus] Hear that thunder in our chests Hear the stamping of our feet Every tear upon the ground Wakes the courage underneath [Chorus] Together we rise From the ruins From the ruins Together we rise Every scar sings hallelujah Raise your hands Lift your eyes To the breaking of the sky If we fall We fall as one And together Together we rise (yeah, yeah) Together we rise [Bridge] [war drums and Ganesha-inspired percussion break] Booming heartbeats Sacred sound (hey!) Names of courage going round Call the strength in every tongue Every old song on our lungs From the temples From the plains From the alleys From the rain We are many We are flame Different faces One brave name [Chorus] Together we rise From the ruins From the ruins Together we rise Every scar sings hallelujah Raise your hands Lift your eyes To the breaking of the sky If we fall We fall as one And together Together we rise (oh-oh, we rise) Together we rise [Outro] [choir a cappella Huge] We rise We rise Shoulder to shoulder We rise We rise Hearts getting bolder We rise We rise ’Til the pain turns into light Together we rise Together we rise
