[Verse 1]
My mother said, don't listen to them child
You just raise your head
And darling you will be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow your heart to the stars you will find your way
Out of the dark I can hear them calling your name
Their voices loud
They’re singing, can you hear them now?

[Chorus]
I have the love my body's strong enough
To build my own kingdom
I am the one that you've been dreaming of
Now look what I’ve become
I'm rising up
To higher ground
I'm rising up
Can't pull me down

[Verse 2]
I have offered up everything I could 
So I will raise my cup and I drink it down with you 

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow my heart to the stars, I will find my place
Out of the dark I can hear them calling my name
I am singing out
Oh mother they can see me now

[Chorus]
I have the love my body's strong enough
To build my own kingdom
I am the one that you've been dreaming of
Now look what I've become
I'm rising up
To higher ground
I’m rising up
Can’t pull me down

[Bridge]
In the darkest hour
(Their voices calling out to you)
I can feel the rain
(Their voices calling out to you)
Then I hear the choir
(Their voices calling out to you)
And I illuminate
(Calling out to you)

[Chorus]
I have the love my body's strong enough
To build my own kingdom
I am the one that you’ve been dreaming of
Now look what I've become
I'm rising up
To higher ground
I'm rising up
Can’t pull me down

[Outro]
My mother said, I love you my dear child
