[Intro] [layered gospel choir a cappella, rhythmic vocalizations] Hoo-ooh, soy, hoo-ooh, hoy, hoo-ooh, hoy, hoo-ooh, up, hoy, up, up [Verse 1] [staccato grand piano enters, cinematic percussion hits] I fell, but I won't stay down My voice will shake the silent ground The storm can't steal the fire in me [strings swell] I'm stronger now, I'm breaking free [Chorus] [full orchestral arrangement, driving toms] A mountain waits, I'll climb it high My spirit roars against my side No chains can hold and no walls remain I rise, I fight, I live again [Post-Chorus] [choir joins in rhythmic unison] Step up and I rise I feel the beat Step up and I rise I feel my inner weight Step up and I rise [lead vocal belting] The fight within me stays in my soul I stand with my eternal light before me rising up To meet my calling [Bridge] [brass stabs, high energy] Step up and I rise The creator is my soul mate Step up and I rise My knees on the ground Step up and I rise Higher, oh God save me My knees on the ground [Outro] [choir vocalizations return] Hoo-ooh, up and up, oh [piano fades, final vocal flourish]
