Lyrics

Verse 1
Strong hands steady, calloused and true
Fathers and sons with a vision renewed
No more silence, no more disguise
Hope is awake in the people’s eyes

Verse 2
The night is fading, the dawn breaks wide
A new fire burns and the dream’s alive
Enough’s enough, no turning away
This is the rise of a brand new day

Chorus
Strong in our faith, unshaken, we stand
Hope in our hearts and work on our hands
Not for the spotlight, not for the show
But for our children and the seeds we sow

Verse 3
No empty words, no virtue parade
It’s how you live, not the moves you played
We won’t bow down, we won’t pretend
This is the place where the lies all end

Chorus
Enough’s enough, no turning away
This is the rise of a brand new day
Strong in our faith, unshaken, we stand
Hope in our hearts and work on our hands

Bridge
From the ashes we rise, through the night we see
The strength of a people, the land of the free
No fear in our steps, no shame in our song
Together in faith, together we’re strong

Verse 4
We’ve been broke, we’ve been bent, near torn apart
But the backbone’s strong and it beats like a heart
Through dust and the sweat, through the blood and pain
We rise again, and we’ll rise again

Pre-Chorus
No more silence, no more disguise
Truth in our hands and fire in our eyes
Raise that flag, let the church bells ring
We’re building back on the roots of this thing

Break
No smoke, no mirrors, just truth and steel
A faith that’s alive and a dream that’s real

Final Chorus
Strong hands steady, strong hearts true
This is the rise of the red, white, and blue
Strong hands steady, strong hearts true
This is the rise of me and you
