We've been broken
We've been bruised
We've been scarred
And we've been used

Children of shackles
Children of chains
Brothers of sorrow
Sisters of shame
No more
No more
This is how we rise
Arise
Let the power in your veins come alive
This is how we rise
Arise
Let the strength in your bones
Lift you high

This is how we rise
We've been taken
We've been burned
Every scar
A lesson learned
Children of anger
Children of rage
Sing out your fury
Sing out your pain

This is how we rise
Arise
Let the power in your veins come alive
This is how we rise
Arise
Let the strength in your bones
Lift your high
Oh, this is how we rise
Arise
Let your voice be a spark
Be a light
Oh, this is how we rise
Arise
Be the dawn
Breaking into the night
Oh, this is how we rise
Arise
Let the power in your veins come alive

This is how we rise
Arise
Let the strength in your bones
Lift you high
This is how we rise
Arise
Let the power in your veins come alive
Oh, this is how we rise
Arise
Let the strength in your bones
Lift you high
Oh, this is how we rise
Oh, this is how we rise
This is how we rise
