[Verse 1]
Open skies
Bare feet
Dust and sunlight on the street
Different colors
Same heat
Hear our hearts all keep the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told you we were separate?
Who sold you all that fear?
When we stand shoulder to shoulder
Every wall disappears (hey!)
[Chorus]
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
[Verse 2]
Your story in your eyes
My story in your hands
When we turn and face the light
Shadows fall behind our plans
[Pre-Chorus]
Who said we had to choose sides?
Who drew those crooked lines?
When your laughter hits my laughter
All the hurt falls out of time
[Chorus]
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
[Bridge]
Shout your name
I’ll call it back (call it back)
Different paths on the same old track
Take my hand
Don’t look behind
Every step
Another life aligned
[Chorus]
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together (oh yeah)
We rise
We rise together
Open skies
Bare feet
Dust and sunlight on the street
Different colors
Same heat
Hear our hearts all keep the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Who told you we were separate?
Who sold you all that fear?
When we stand shoulder to shoulder
Every wall disappears (hey!)
[Chorus]
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
[Verse 2]
Your story in your eyes
My story in your hands
When we turn and face the light
Shadows fall behind our plans
[Pre-Chorus]
Who said we had to choose sides?
Who drew those crooked lines?
When your laughter hits my laughter
All the hurt falls out of time
[Chorus]
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together
[Bridge]
Shout your name
I’ll call it back (call it back)
Different paths on the same old track
Take my hand
Don’t look behind

We rise
We rise together
Hands up
Higher
We break these chains forever
From every land
Every tongue
We move as one
We move as one
One voice
One fire
We rise
We rise together (oh yeah)
We rise
We rise together
Musikstyle
folk, Afro-pop anthem with bright female vocals over layered hand drums, shakers, and warm acoustic bass; verses stay nimble and percussive with airy flutes answering vocal phrases, pre-chorus pulls back to claps and call-and-response feel, then chorus explodes into wide harmonies and festival-sized energy, subtle backing choir on final chorus to lift the unity theme, acoustic, rhythmic, pop, warm, bright, female vocals
