[Intro] Hands up Head high We bend We don’t die [Verse 1] Mama said, “Baby, this country yours too” But the news feel heavy like a closed door room Red hat, blue tie, same cold courtroom Whole block prayin’ it’ll all change soon I seen neighbors turn into strangers Scrollin’ through the anger, thumbs full of danger But I still hear hope in the church side choir Voices crack, but they climb up higher (climb up higher) [Chorus] One flag, many voices We rise, we rise, we rise by choices Ain’t nobody livin’ above the law Truth cut deep but it heals us all From the dirt, yeah, we grow together New day, new faith, new weather We the people, we the ones Hand in hand, we overcome [Verse 2] Got kids in cages in my memory still Got names on pavement that the rain can’t kill Got rich men laughin’ from a high-rise throne But the cracks in the glass cut straight to the bone I don’t want war with my neighbor next door Same rent, same stress, same grocery store If you hurt, I hurt, that’s the deal we signed In the ink of our blood and our borrowed time (yeah) [Chorus] One flag, many voices We rise, we rise, we rise by choices Ain’t nobody livin’ above the law Truth cut deep but it heals us all From the dirt, yeah, we grow together New day, new faith, new weather We the people, we the ones Hand in hand, we overcome [Bridge] Who gon’ speak when they silence the weak? (who?) Who gon’ march when they block every street? (hey!) I see you I need you Stand up beside me Not behind, not ahead, just right beside me We can’t build peace on a crooked throne Justice mean justice for every home We the wall, we the wave, we the light in the dark Fifty stars, one spark, one heart [Chorus] One flag, many voices We rise, we rise, we rise by choices Ain’t nobody livin’ above the law Truth cut deep but it heals us all From the dirt, yeah, we grow together New day, new faith, new weather We the people, we the ones Hand in hand, we overcome [Outro] Hands up Head high (head high) We bend We don’t die One flag Many voices We rise We rise by choices
