(Verse 1)
It's hard to become very successful and prosper when you have very little to work with
*Yeah, we know it's tough, baby, oh so tough*
But I remember the days, just a penny in my pocket,
*Holding on to dreams, never gonna stop it*
When the stars felt out of reach, the nights were long and cold,
*But the fire in my heart, it never got old*
(Chorus)
Oh, we'll rise, we will shine, through the struggles, through the pain
*We’ll lift our voices high, let the world hear our refrain*
From the shadows to the light, we won't let our hopes die,
*Hold on tight, sweet dreams, we were born to fly*
(Verse 2)
With every step I took in shoes that wore so thin,
*Each stumble taught me strength, that’s how I learned to win*
Memories of laughter, and tears that fell like rain,
*In the depths of my soul, they still linger and remain*
Every little setback, it built me, made me strong,
*Whispers of the past remind me where I belong*
(Chorus)
Oh, we'll rise, we will shine, through the struggles, through the pain
*We’ll lift our voices high, let the world hear our refrain*
From the shadows to the light, we won't let our hopes die,
*Hold on tight, sweet dreams, we were born to fly*
(Bridge)
(Lead) Remember when we danced in the streets?
(Background) *Oh, the joy, it felt so sweet*
(Lead) When the music filled our souls like a summer breeze,
(Background) *No worries, just the moments we seize*
(Verse 3)
Now I stand on this stage, looking back with pride,
*The scars tell a story of a heart that wouldn't hide*
With every song I sing, I carry those who dream,
*Together we will rise, stronger than we seem*
(Chorus)
Oh, we'll rise, we will shine, through the struggles, through the pain
*We’ll lift our voices high, let the world hear our refrain*
From the shadows to the light, we won't let our hopes die,
*Hold on tight, sweet dreams, we were born to fly*
(Outro)
So here’s to the dreamers, the fighters, the strong,
*In the heart of the struggle, we find where we belong*
With love as our guide, we’ll break through the strife,
*It’s hard, yes it's hard, but we’re living this life.*
