Lyric

Wake up, rise up

Feel the light inside

Open every door

Step into the sky

I was young when I crossed the sea

With a dream of who I could be

Different world, different way

But I carried tomorrow every day

They said, “Stay inside, know your place”

I said, “Watch me change the space”

With a book in my hand, fire in my heart

I was ready for a brand-new start

One voice, one dream

Nothing is as far as it seems

Take my hand, come with me

Education sets us free

Rise up, rise up, let it shine

Your future, your dream, your time

Learn, learn, break the wall

If one woman rises, we can all stand tall

Hey! Hey! We’re born to fly

Hey! Hey! Reach the sky

No more fear, no more chains

We write tomorrow, we change the game

Oh-oh-oh, rise up

Oh-oh-oh, light it up

Oh-oh-oh, let them see

A brighter future starts with me

Not for glory, not for fame

I wanted every girl to know her name

A classroom became a starting line

A little spark became a rising light

Rise up, rise up, let it shine

Your future, your dream, your time

Learn, learn, break the wall

If one woman rises, we can all stand tall

Hey! Hey! We’re born to fly

Hey! Hey! Reach the sky

No more fear, no more chains

We write tomorrow, we change the game

Learn and rise

Dream and fly

One small spark

Can light the sky
