[Verse 1] The day leans low in gold Across the broken field Your shadow touches home And every scar can yield I saw you on your knees By the river stones Now the quiet breathes And calls you back to stone [Pre-Chorus] Hold on The air is changing Hold on The sky is naming You [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the ash and rain (You rise, you rise) The hero rises The hero rises Bring back the light again (You rise, you rise) [Verse 2] Your hands have learned the dark Your heart has learned the flame You carried all that hurt And still you kept your name The banners in the wind Were torn but never gone Now every fallen thing Is standing up as one [Pre-Chorus] Hold on The bells are waking Hold on The ground is shaking For you [Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the ash and rain (You rise, you rise) The hero rises The hero rises Bring back the light again (You rise, you rise) [Bridge] And if the night returns It will not find you blind You know the road by heart You carry dawn inside So take the last red fire And lift it to the sky The world has waited long For you to open wide [Final Chorus] The hero rises The hero rises Out of the ash and rain (You rise, you rise) The hero rises The hero rises Bring back the light again (You rise, you rise) The hero rises The hero rises And nothing stays the same (You rise, you rise)
