Roots of Resilience (Reference 2)

Verse 1

Barefoot on the hot pavement (oh)

Rain come down like sheets (yeah)

Shoes without the laces

Hunger in the street

Every lesson that I carried (carried)

Was heavy on my back (heavy)

Sun keep rising steady

No more turning back

Pre-Chorus

I know the road was rough (rough)

I know the nights were long (long)

Every scar I earned

Taught me where I belong

Chorus

Rise up like the morning light (rise up)

Shine for the ones who lost their way (shine on)

Live it now with all your might (live it)

Be the change you wanna see today

Verse 2

Mama said keep walking (keep walking)

When the river runs too wide (too wide)

Papa said don't stumble

Keep your true self by your side (your side)

Held my brothers closer (closer)

When the cold world turned to grey (grey)

Now I light a candle (candle)

For the ones who lost their way

Pre-Chorus

I know the road was rough (mmm)

I know the nights were long (mmm)

Every scar I earned

Taught me where I belong

Chorus

Rise up like the morning light (rise up)

Shine for the ones who lost their way (shine on)

Live it now with all your might (live it)

Be the change you wanna see today

Bridge

Yesterday is gone now (gone now)

Tomorrow is a dream (a dream)

Right here in this moment

Spirit finds its stream

Chorus

Rise up like the morning light (rise up)

Shine for the ones who lost their way (shine on)

Live it now with all your might (live it)

Be the change you wanna see today

Rise up now

Rise up like the morning light

Shine for the ones who lost their way
