Rise Through the Storm

(ooh, yeah)

For my family,

for the ones I love

(mmm,

hold on)

I take on the weight,

standing by the door

Working through the night to give my people more

To my mother who raised me,

you're always in my heart I promised you I'd finish what we

had to start

Every single scar is a lesson in the bone

I will keep you safe,

you won't walk alone

When the shadows try

to break my stride

I keep my faith

and my children by my side

Standing up tall

through the rain (yes I will) I will protect you

with all my life

Walk through the storm and endure the strife

Love for my mother,

love for my own

Building a house that is made of stone (I will keep you

safe) Lift up your hands,

we are gonna rise

(yeah, we're gonna rise)

Teaching my young ones

to stand and be strong

Show them how to fight when the world does them wrong

Through every trial and the tears that we cried I carry this

devotion deep on the inside Forgive every stumble,

forgive every fall Love is the shelter that covers it all

I remember what you taught me way back when

We fall on our knees just to rise again Standing up tall

through the pain

(I hear the call)

I will protect you with all my life

Walk through the storm and endure the strife

Love for my mother,

love for my own

Building a house that is made of stone (I will keep you

safe) Lift up your hands,

we are gonna rise

(ooh, we will rise)

Lord give me strength to be the man I need to be

Protect my kin and set my spirit free

(give me strength, yeah) Through the fire

and the heavy load

We walk together down this righteous road

I love you, Mama

I got my family now

(yes I do) We're gonna be alright

(ahhhh, peace and love)
