Lyrics
[Verse 1] I kept my head down low In a room that never grew Same four walls, same old lies Trying to make me choose My hands were black with dust From building what they broke Every "wait your turn" I heard Just fed the fire and smoke [Pre-Chorus] But I can feel it now A pulse under my skin The ground is shaking up And I am letting in [Chorus] Rise up, rise up We were born to break the chain Rise up, rise up Take the hurt and make it flame Hey, hey, hear us now We are not staying down Rise up, rise up Watch us burn this whole thing down [Verse 2] I took the long way out Past the signs that said "stay small" Learned my scars can light the dark Learned to answer when they call They said "keep your place" I said "watch me take the whole" Got a rebel in my chest And a thunder in my soul [Pre-Chorus] But I can feel it now A pulse under my skin The ground is shaking up And I am letting in [Chorus] Rise up, rise up We were born to break the chain Rise up, rise up Take the hurt and make it flame Hey, hey, hear us now We are not staying down Rise up, rise up Watch us burn this whole thing down [Bridge] Hands up to the sky If you ever got knocked down If they tried to lock your name In the dirt beneath the ground We were made for more Than a life behind a wall One spark turns into fire When we answer when we fall [Final Chorus] Rise up, rise up We were born to break the chain Rise up, rise up Take the hurt and make it flame Hey, hey, hear us now We are not staying down Rise up, rise up Watch us burn this whole thing down Rise up, rise up We were born to break the chain Rise up, rise up Take the hurt and make it flame Hey, hey, sing it loud We are not staying down Rise up, rise up Watch us burn this whole thing down
