I am a nation, I am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
I am a soldier, I won´t surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who´s gonna stand up, who´s gonna fight?)

The voice of the unheard
(Who´s gonna break these chains and lies?)
Love is the answer
I gotta speak it, believe it, that´s how I feel inside
I, I, can´t, can´t sit here quiet

You can take my heart, you can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead chest
[Chorus: John Cooper]
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It´s our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It´s our resistance, you can´t resist us

Hey can you hear me? Hey, are you listening?
Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history
Walk through the fire, walk on the water
Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror

They can take my heart, they can take my breath
When they pry it from my cold, dead chest

This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It´s our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It´s our resistance, you can´t resist us

Up, up, up, up, up
We´re rising up, up, up, up, up
The voice of the unheard
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We´re rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We´re rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
This is how we rise up
It´s our resistance, you can´t resist us

This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It´s our world, they can never have it

This is how we rise up
It´s our resistance, you can´t resist us
