[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Blue jeans and a ripped T-shirt
Blood stains in the ten seater
Beat down 'cause you know we are
Comin' around again (Comin' around again), yeah
Hangin' by a moment by the skin of our teeth
Bitin' on the bullet 'til we come up to breathe
Watch out 'cause you might see us, can't beat us, glorious
[Chorus]
Ooh, oh
They call us soldiers on the battlefield
And we rise up 'cause they're on our heels
We go (Left right)
Long nights (Left right)
Hold tight (Left right)
Watch us as we march into the sunlight
Soldiers on the battlefield
And our future's still a mystery
And we're standing through the long nights
Then we march into the sunlight
Ah, ah, ah
Sing it with me, I rise (Whoa)
[Verse 2]
Blue purple with a shade of scarlet
Runnin' fast to better days, I'm on it
Shatter every obstacle that gets in our way
They won't defeat us, glorious
Ooh, oh, glorious, oh
[Chorus]
They call us soldiers on a battlefield
And we rise up 'cause they're on our heels
We go (Left right)
Long nights (Left right)
Hold tight (Left right)
Watch us as we march into the sunlight
Soldiers on the battlefield
And our future's still a mystery
And we're standing through the long nights
Then we march into the sunlight
Ah, ah, ah
Sing it with me, I rise
[Bridge]
(Left) Out here in the dirt and rain
(Right) Back here at the start again
(Left) To climb 'til I'm (Right) in line
(Left, right, left, right) Yeah
We march (Whoa)
[Chorus]
Soldiers on a battlefield
And we rise up cause they're on our heels
We go (Left right)
Long nights (Left right)
Hold tight (Left right)
Watch us as we march into the sunlight
Soldiers on the battlefield
And our future's still a mystery
And we're standing through the long nights
Then we march into the sunlight
Ah, ah, ah
Sing it with me, I rise (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
We march into the sunlight, rise (Come on)
We march into the sunlight (Soldiers on the battlefield)
Ooh, we rise
