Dust Rises, We Rise 2

Intro

Concrete floor still warm from feet

Courtyard learns to breathe

Verse

Bare soles counting old floor cracks

Neighbours humming, low and slow

Every step wakes up the red ground

Red ground lets it go

Pre-Chorus

Feel it lift up through my ankles

Feel the courtyard start to hum

Same yard, same dust as my grandmother

Same heartbeat drum

Chorus

Dust rises, we rise

Dust rises, we rise

Feet together

Dust rises, we rise

Verse

Washing line above our shoulders

Circle widens, hands find hands

Children learning steps that outlive

Fences, walls, the land

Pre-Chorus

Feel it lift up through my ankles

Feel the courtyard start to hum

Same yard, same dust as my grandmother

Same heartbeat drum

Chorus

Dust rises, we rise

Dust rises, we rise

Feet together

Dust rises, we rise

Bridge

Not one body, it's a hundred

Not one shadow on this ground

Every footprint holds another

We rise as one sound

Outro

Dust settles soft where we stood

Dust rises, we rise

Feet still warm on the courtyard ground
