[Verse 1] They make the rules in darkness, call it power, call it law (Imagining) But a steady heart keeps beating when the system’s full of flaw (Drifting in the sound) I’ve been walking through the fire, but the fire never burned (So beautiful) ’Cause the truth that lives within me is the only thing I’ve learned (By the delay) [Chorus] Rise up free, rise up strong (Echo in the air) Nothing written on their paper holds me down for very long (Floating everywhere) Sun on my face, love in my chest (La-la, la-la, la) Rise up free, rise up blessed (La-la, la-la, la) [Verse 2] Let them chase their empty riches, let them bow before a throne (Step, step, step away) I’ll be planting seeds of kindness where the wildflowers have grown (Rolling through the day) Every heavy chain they give me turns to feathers in my hand (So beautiful) ’Cause the place where I belong now isn’t made of any land (By the delay) [Bridge] Through the valley, through the storm (Imagining) Oh-ah-oh-ah-eeee, I was born to rise, reborn (Spinning round) Unbroken and unshaken, I can hear my calling now (Let it fade) Awakened and unshackled, every crack becomes a holy ground (Out the sound) [Chorus] Rise up free, rise up strong (Change it, change it) Nothing written on their paper holds me down for very long (Turn it all around) Sun on my face, love in my chest (Deep inside) Rise up free, rise up blessed (Rise with the sound) [Outro] Rise up free, rise up true (Imagining, imagining) Every single day I start brand new (Fade into the dub) Rise up… I and I rise up… (Imagining, imagining)
