Hive Open Mic week 276_Rise up by Andra day

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello Hive family! For Week 276 of Hive Open Mic, with the beautiful theme “Healing”, I’ll be singing “Rise Up” by Andra Day, a song that has always spoken deeply to my heart.

I chose this song because it reflects the strength to keep going even when everything feels heavy. Healing is not always instant; sometimes, it’s in the quiet strength of rising up each day with hope.

I hope this cover brings comfort and light to anyone going through a difficult season. Let it remind you that you're not alone, and that healing, though gradual, is possible.

Lyrics

You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We'll rise, oh, oh
We'll rise

I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we'll rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Much love,
@Oyinwrites💛🎶
