[Verse 1] We fight the blues ,the blood,the bruise In a world that feeds on sorrow Ladies and gentlemen, and those who do not subscribe to either Despairs and weary Still believe in tomorrow Here’s a little good news Even broken hearts can still revive Somewhere in the darkest shire There’s a light awaiting you You must rise [Pre-Chorus] We pretend we’re made of stone While we’re breaking all alone Even those who shelter others Need a place to cure theirs sore [Chorus] We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom I’ve had days I nearly surrendered Every tear I ever cried Is a part of what I’ve weathered We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom You don’t have to be invincible If surviving is all you do That’s a miracle inside of you In all of you [Verse 2] What money cannot buy What the naked eye can’t see There’s a quiet kind of courage In admitting you’re in need All the weight of expectation All the prayers left unanswered Still we rise without a promise That tomorrow will be better Still we rise [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath when hope runs thin There’s no shame in giving in To the grief you’ve kept imprisoned You can lose and still begin [Chorus] We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom I’ve had days I nearly surrendered Every tear I ever cried Is a part of what I’ve weathered We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom You don’t have to be invincible If surviving is all you do That’s a miracle inside of you In all of you [Bridge – Gospel / Emotional Crescendo] For the ones we couldn’t save For the love we couldn’t keep For the dreams that never came For the promises we grieve May the world be kind to you Even when it wasn’t kind to me If I cannot find my heaven May you find the peace you need I love you [Final Chorus] We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom I’ve had days I nearly surrendered Every tear I ever cried Is a part of what I’ve weathered We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom You don’t have to be invincible If surviving is all you do That’s a miracle inside of you In all of you We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom Though the world may never change Though the wounds may never vanish We can love despite the pain We fight the blues,the blood ,the bruise The bad, the sad,the gore, the gloom Let the broken have their glory You don’t have to win the war Just to live another morning Still we ride!
