Lyric

A distant rumble, a rising sound

Footsteps shaking the frozen ground

Headlines screaming every day

World on fire in a thousand ways

Broken cities, silent cries

Truth gets buried under noise

Leaders talking, circles wide

Promises on a shifting tide

While they argue who to blame

The mountain of problems stays the same

It looks too high

It feels too far

Like we’re too small

To move that dark

But stone by stone

It can be done

Not by waiting

But by someone

Problems mountain, standing tall

But we will rise, we won’t fall

Hand in hand, we hear the call

We climb, we climb — together all

Tomorrow lives in what we do

Step by step, we make it true

For every child, for days to come

We climb, we climb — we overcome

Not every problem can be solved with money

Not every answer comes from power

A single voice, a single deed

Can turn the course of any hour

A company choosing more than gain

A neighbor easing someone’s pain

History turns, not just by crowns

But by the hands in smaller towns

Don’t wait for flags

Or grand commands

The future’s built

By working hands

The world won’t shift

From words alone

It moves when ordinary hearts

Turn into stone

Problems mountain, standing tall

But we will rise, we won’t fall

Hand in hand, we hear the call

We climb, we climb — together all

Tomorrow lives in what we do

Step by step, we make it true

For every child, for days to come

We climb, we climb — we overcome

No savior’s coming through the sky

No perfect age is standing by

The ones who shape what lies ahead

Are breathing now, not born or dead

Big picture burning in our sight

Feet on the ground, we choose to fight

Not with hate, not empty shouts

But daily courage, lived out loud

Problems mountain, standing tall

But we will rise, we won’t fall

Voices loud, we hear the call

We climb, we climb — together all

Tomorrow lives in what we do

Step by step, we make it true

For every child, for days to come

We climb, we climb — we overcome

Stone by stone

Step by step

We rise

We rise
