[Verse 1]
I was who I always needed
Even when I couldn't see it
Even when the waves came crashing down
I was always somehow ashamed
Tryna always hide in my skin
Now I feel the rain come pouring down

[Pre-Chorus]
You always said that I should hide it
Don't know why I held my light in
Look I suffered now I'm shining out
Even when it wasn't easy
Even when you couldn't see me
I think I always knew deep down inside
You were gonna watch me

[Chorus]
Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

[Verse 2]
You were always there for me
But didn't know what I was made of
The pressure only made this diamond stronger
Stronger, stronger
[Pre-Chorus]
You always said that I should hide it
Don't know why I held my light in
Look I suffered now I'm shining out
Even when it wasn't easy
Even when you couldn't see me
I think I always knew deep down inside
You were gonna watch me

[Chorus]
Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves
Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

[Bridge]
Woah, woah, woah, ooh
Woah, woah, woah
Hey, rise up with the waves
Woah, woah, woah, ooh
Woah, woah, woah
Today, rise up with the waves
Rise up with the waves
[Chorus]
Rise
Rise (Ooh)
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

[Outro]
I was who I always needed
Even when I couldn't see it
