[Intro]
Ooh-oh… yeah, rise up, rise up, rise up
[Verse 1]
From Juba to Bentiu, we grind through the pain,
South Sudanese heart, yeah, we rise through the rain.
Mama told me one day we gon’ see the light,
Brothers in the struggle, yeah, we fight through the night.
Hustle in my veins, got the city on my back,
Dreams of freedom, never fold, never crack.
From the Nile to the streets, we gon’ make it shine,
South Sudanese blood, yeah, the glory gon’ be mine.
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, through every storm we shine,
Holding tight to dreams that keep us alive.
From the camps to the streets, we write our own fate,
South Sudan in our hearts, we carry the flame.
[Verse 2]
We came from the mud, now we reach for the sky,
Prayers for my people, never fear, never cry.
Brothers in the struggle, we move with our pride,
Mama in my heart, yeah, she always my guide.
From the camps to the streets, we gon’ change the game,
South Sudanese fire, remember the name.
We shine through the storms, we gon’ make it last,
Every scar, every fight, yeah, it’s part of the past.
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, through every storm we shine,
Holding tight to dreams that keep us alive.
From the camps to the streets, we write our own fate,
South Sudan in our hearts, we carry the flame.
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, rise up together, never fall apart,
Hands held across the miles, we mend every heart.
Ooh, ooh, rise up together, let the future start,
South Sudan, we’ve got this, we’re a work of art.
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, through every storm we shine,
Holding tight to dreams that keep us alive.
From the camps to the streets, we write our own fate,
South Sudan in our hearts, we carry the flame.
[Outro]
Ooh-oh… yeah, we rise up, rise up, rise up
