[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
