We’re hard-pressed on every side, but oh, we ain’t crushed The world gets loud, yeah, the truth gets hushed Perplexed in the silence, but we don’t despair ‘Cause we’re breathing in the spirit of a different air Struck down, but the story doesn’t end in the dirt We’re finding our glory in the middle of the hurt. I’ve walked through the bitterness, questioned the night Wandered in doubt when the path wasn't bright Time after time, see the family lines fray Hear the news ringing of another dark day But even when the weight pulls heavy on the soul There’s a fire inside that keeps us whole. 'Cause I will not die, no, I won’t fade away I’m gonna live to tell of the light of the day Yeah, I’m gonna tell you what the Lord has done We’re the rising tide, we’re the setting sun You can try to break the stone, try to bury the seed But we’re shatter-proof, born from the faith that we need Yeah, we’re still here, still glowing, still standing strong We’re the resilient soul, and we’ve been here all along. A thousand lifetimes measured in chains, But the truth in our marrow outlasts all your rains." Trying to scrub the history, erasing the glow But you can’t stop the river, and you can’t stop the flow You kill one, we multiply, we transform, we bloom We were built by the Power that rose from the tomb You look at our children, you see a threat in their skin But you don’t comprehend where the victory begins. It’s in the prayer, it’s in the armor you can’t tear apart It’s the unshakable rhythm of a faithful heart We don’t have to prove it, just open your eyes See the beauty in the struggle, see the truth in the rise Still pushing through the pain, still ready for the fight We’re walking out of darkness into the morning light. 'Cause I will not die, no, I won’t fade away I’m gonna live to tell of the light of the day Yeah, I’m gonna tell you what the Lord has done We’re the rising tide, we’re the setting sun You can try to break the stone, try to bury the seed But we’re shatter-proof, born from the faith that we need Yeah, we’re still here, still glowing, still standing strong We’re the resilient soul, and we’ve been here all along. Still rising… (we’re still rising) Still pushing… (yeah, we’re pushing through) Still glowing… (in the light of the truth) One day at a time, we’re standing, we’re standing. You won't win... 'cause we are already here.
