Lyrics
[Intro – Soft R&B]
Mmh… from the dust I rise,
From the village to the skies…
God held my steps, opened my eyes…
Yeah… I rise.
---
[Verse 1 – Afrosoul Melody]
I was born where the dust lifts slow,
in a small African place where the warm winds blow.
Ten long kilometers under sunrise gold,
carrying dreams too heavy for a girl so small.
My grandmother’s hands shaped the rhythm of my days—
firewood on my back, chores carved into my ways.
Water from the deep ground, lessons in the heat,
learning strength in silence, finding truth beneath my feet.
---
[Rap Verse – Female Flow, Reflective]
No friends, just the quiet—
I learned how to move in the peace, not the riot.
Solitude raised me, pain didn’t break me,
dreams in my chest—nobody could take these.
Form Six done, but the scores didn’t crown me,
still I felt destiny walking around me.
God don’t judge on one chapter you see,
He was writing a bigger story in me.
City lights calling, I stepped in slow,
saw a mirror of the woman I’m meant to grow.
Modeling spark in a heart once shy—
who knew the girl from the dust could fly?
---
[Hook – R&B / Soul]
From village dust to city light,
I rise, I rise.
With a heart that carries every mile,
I rise, I rise.
God wrote my name into the sky,
and now my spirit learns to fly.
From village dust to city light—
I rise… I rise.
---
[Verse 2 – Soulful Storytelling]
I stood where the dawn felt heavy and cold,
yet hope kept whispering, “Child, be bold.”
I washed, I cooked, I carried the load,
I sang in my spirit though no one was told.
Hard work shaped me, love refined me,
purpose was moving quietly behind me.
Now the runways shine where my footsteps land,
confidence resting like gold in my hands.
---
[Rap Bridge – Empowered Female Voice]
Yeah… from the dust I came—
no shame, no fear, just fire in my veins.
Little girl dreams with a woman’s aim,
turning every struggle into part of my flame.
I cheer for others, their joy is mine,
we rise together when our hearts align.
God built this path, step by step,
and I walk it with grace, no regret.
---
[Final Chorus – Afrosoul + R&B Harmony]
From village dust to city light,
I rise, I rise.
From simple days to higher heights,
I rise, I rise.
May the world make room for who I’m becoming,
for every dream in my heartbeat humming.
From village dust to city light—
I rise… oh, I rise.
---
[Outro – Soft, spiritual]
Dust on my feet,
light in my eyes…
This is my story—
and still I rise.
Mmh… from the dust I rise,
From the village to the skies…
God held my steps, opened my eyes…
Yeah… I rise.
