(Intro) (Soft Rhodes chords fading in, subtle bass pulse, gentle guitar lick) Mmm... yeah... we rise... let’s go... (Verse 1) In this life, trials come like shadows in the rain, Some hearts stir the storm, try to break us with their pain. But we don't inhale that poison in the air, Lift our eyes to the light, leave the weight out there. Lessons carved deep in the marrow of our bones, Without the fall, we'd never find our way back home. (Pre-Chorus) Every scar whispers truth, every tear clears the view, We grow stronger in the breaking... me and you. (Chorus) We've been tried in the flames, tested through the fire, But we're still here breathing, reaching ever higher. Together we rise, when division tries to call, Watch your back, hold the line—we won't fall. One shared vision, a brighter dawn in view, We'll shatter these chains, let our light break through. Still rising... oh, we're still rising... (Verse 2) Heavy days when the clouds won't let the sun shine through, Doubts creep in soft, trying to dim what we knew. But we stand rooted deep, hearts fearless and true, Our stories of survival, woven in all we do. Every wound a wisdom, every storm a grace, Washing clean the sorrow, putting strength in its place. (Pre-Chorus) Every scar whispers truth, every tear clears the view, We grow stronger in the breaking... me and you. (Chorus) We've been tried in the flames, tested through the fire, But we're still here breathing, reaching ever higher. Together we rise, when division tries to call, Watch your back, hold the line—we won't fall. One shared vision, a brighter dawn in view, We'll shatter these chains, let our light break through. Still rising... yeah, we're still rising... (Bridge - Celebration/Tribute) (Modulate to G major, strings/pads swell, drums get a little more punch, add triumphant guitar lick and background chants building) Yo, this one’s for Sin, The Smash The Clock King—alive and reigning! Leading the charge, showing us how to break the cage we're in. You drop that wisdom, light the fire in our souls, Teach us to grab the moment, take back control. Clock hands can't hold us when you’re in the room, We smash the limits, watch the whole crew bloom! (Ayy... Sin! ... Smash The Clock! ... Yeah, King!) (Final Chorus - Full anthem, rich harmonies, ad-libs, crowd energy) We've been tried in the flames, tested through the fire, But we're still here breathing, reaching ever higher! Together we rise (rise up!), when division tries to call, Watch your back, hold the line—we won't fall! One shared vision, a brighter dawn in view, We smash this clock with Sin leading us through— Let our light break through! Still rising... oh, we're still rising strong! For the King... we still rising strong! (Outro) Still rising strong... (ad-libs: Ayy, Sin The Smash The Clock King! ... Keep leading, bro... we smashing clocks forever... yeah... community strong... still rising... let’s go!) (Fade with celebratory Rhodes riff, bass groove locking in, light handclaps/percussion, uplifting strings)
