Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you, so we gon' walk it out
And move mountains
We gon' walk it out
And move mountains
[Chorus]
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
[Chorus]
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
[Verse 2]
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
Move mountains
[Chorus]
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
[Bridge]
All we need
All we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
[Bridge]
And we will rise (We will rise, we will rise)
We will rise (We will rise)
We'll rise
Oh, whoa (We'll rise, oh)
We'll rise
[Chorus]
I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise
A thousand times again
[Chorus]
And we'll rise up
Rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
Rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
Rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
