Rise Slow

Rise slow Rise slow (Mm-mm, pa-pa-pa-pa-do-do-do) (Mm-mm-mm, mm, rise slow Mm, mm, mm, mm, no-no) No one saw the nights I held my ground No one heard me when I made no sound I didn't need the light to find my way I just kept moving through the dark each day Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd Just real, just deep, just mine to keep, ah! (I rise slow) but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more (I rise slow) but I rise strong Took the time it took, now I belong Rise slow (oh-oh-oh-oh...) Rise slow (oh, oh-oh, oh..., ah!) They wanted fire, I gave them roots They wanted shortcuts, I gave them truth I fell more times than I care to say But every fall just showed me where to stay Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd Just real, just deep, just mine to keep (I rise slow) but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more (I rise slow) but I rise strong Took the time it took, now I belong Rise slow (oh-oh-oh-oh...) Rise slow (oh, oh-oh, oh...) The ones who rise fast Fall the same way The ones who rise slow Are built to stay, ay-ay-yeah, ay-ay! (I rise slow) but I rise sure Every scar I carry made me more (I rise slow) but I rise strong Took the time it took (took, took, took, took) I belong (oh-oh-oh-oh...) I belong (oh-oh-oh-oh...) I belong (oh, oh-oh, oh...) I belong (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Rise slow (still rising) Rise slow (still here) Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
