[Verse 1] Morning comes hard With a bucket and a bill Cold toast on the plate And a pit in the chest Clock on the wall Keeps taking and taking Shoes by the door Worn thin at the toe [Pre-Chorus] Still they get up Still they move One more step One more day [Chorus] Heavy hands, heavy hands But we hold on Heavy hands, heavy hands We don't fold on Same old fight Same old rain Still we rise Again and again [Verse 2] Bus stop faces Carrying their scars A nurse on her feet A kid with a part-time dream Rent in the envelope Food on a plan Everybody's bent But nobody stands still [Pre-Chorus] Still they get up Still they move One more breath One more try [Chorus] Heavy hands, heavy hands But we hold on Heavy hands, heavy hands We don't fold on Same old fight Same old rain Still we rise Again and again [Bridge] If your back breaks down Lean on mine If your light burns low I'll be the sign We were built for this Not to shine But to carry each other Through hard times [Chorus] Heavy hands, heavy hands But we hold on Heavy hands, heavy hands We don't fold on Same old fight Same old rain Still we rise Again and again
