Rise Up Under African Skies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some mornings break with quiet light A gentle warmth through African skies A laugh that fills the empty spaces A heart that holds what words can't say There's strength in how a man keeps standing When storms have torn the world away [Chorus] Rise up, brother, the dawn is calling New beginnings are on their way Every scar becomes a story Of the love that chose to stay Rise up, there's joy still worth believing And hope that won't let go of you [Verse 2] Poshy, I see the light you carry Even when the shadows pull inside The way you tend to every creature Beneath these wide and golden skies You say the animals come first now And in that care your spirit shines [Chorus] Rise up, brother, the dawn is calling New beginnings are on their way Every scar becomes a story Of the love that chose to stay Rise up, there's joy still worth believing And hope that won't let go of you [Bridge] You never speak about the heartbreak The boy you lost, the silent weight But heaven knows a father's love And some things time won't take away [Verse 3] My brother from another mother Poshy, you brought me back to life Your compassion and your laughter Cut through the dark just like a knife So let renewal find you gently Let comfort wrap around your soul The future's reaching out its hand now And you don't have to walk alone [Chorus] Rise up, brother, the dawn is calling New beginnings are on their way Every scar becomes a story Of the love that chose to stay Rise up, Poshy, joy still worth believing And hope that won't let go of you [Outro] Under the African sky, my brother The best is yet to come for you
