[Intro] [Vocal: female, airy, cinematic, focused] [Humming intro] At the edge of the water I remember who I am [Verse] [Vocal: male, resonant, intimate, steady] They came with noise and names and restless hands Thinking weight would pull my spirit under But pressure taught my bones a deeper truth Even thunder can be turned to wonder [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal: female, breathy to belting, rising urgency] I keep the lesson, leave the poison I keep the fire, lose the fear What they meant as ruin Becomes the road from here [Chorus] [Vocal: male/female duet, anthemic, soaring] Use every stone they throw Build it higher, let it show We are not the wound We are what the wound grows Use every stone they throw Lift it, place it, let it glow From the river to the sky We rise, we rise, we rise [Verse 2] [Vocal: female, stronger, luminous] I am not empty when I’m tested I am a vessel learning form Grace is not a fragile silence Grace is what survives the storm [Bridge] [Vocal: male/female duet, stripped then explosive] Take the blame, turn it wisdom Take the night, turn it dawn Take the breaking, make it rhythm Take the ending, carry on [Chorus] [Vocal: male/female duet, full power, wide] Use every stone they throw Build it higher, let it show We are not the wound We are what the wound grows Use every stone they throw Lift it, place it, let it glow From the river to the sky We rise, we rise, we rise [Outro] [Vocal: duet, triumphant then soft] Stone by stone Heart by heart We rise [End]
