lyrics

You will never forget those first winter mornings as you stepped out / into the ineffable nation of a new life / Each day was like a fresh descent from the deck / and each day you asked yourself, What have I done? / How well I speak and walk and work / who I am, who I am perceived to be / could truly make or break me / become my undoing, or my reason to go on // Rise – we will rise // This is what you still think about, even generations after you have learned / to ignore those who question your citizenship, identity, or faith / that the hateful language you hear does not represent the true spirit of home / that “when someone is cruel or acts like a bully / you don’t stoop to their level” / Instead, you try to find dignity and power in the lessons they have never had to retain / because “When they go low, we go high” // Rise – we will rise // It seems so long ago now / But you will never forget that morning as you stepped out, lifted your chin / saw that it was spring - / and for a brief moment, mistook the buds of the magnolias / for hundreds of sleeping doves, their heads tucked into folded wings – / those Others who were waiting, who were dreaming / who would at any moment awaken and take flight

"Imagine a party at Ronnie Scott’s," one fan suggests, "where Sade, Björk, Jeff Beck, and David Byrne meet Portishead and then go for a late night curry to exchange ideas…sublime”. ... more
