Intro

I carried the dawn in the palm of my hand

Walked through the dust with a heart that could stand

Every closed door taught me where to begin

Now hear the whole world opening

Verse 1

Mama said, “Keep your name when the room gets loud”

So I kept my feet firm beneath the crowd

From the red earth road to the far-off shore

I found what I was searching for

Pre-Chorus

No more waiting by the gate

No more asking fate to change

I have fire in my chest

And a promise I can’t break

Chorus

We rise, we rise, with the sun on our faces
