Joy Ascends

[Verse 1]
Hands up to the dawn
Gold runs through the floor
Every small heart
Knows there is more

You and I awake
Smoke turns into sky
Hold the silver hour
Let it sweep us by

[Pre-Chorus]
Lift me higher now
Hear the crowd breathe in
One bright line of light
Spins around our skin

[Chorus]
Joy, rise up, rise up
Joy, rise up high
Joy, rise up, rise up
Sing it to the sky

Joy, rise up, rise up
We are here tonight
Joy, rise up, rise up
Burning clean and bright

[Verse 2]
Feet on polished stone
Lanterns in the rain
Every waiting street
Learns to bloom again

Your voice in the dark
Cuts like morning glass
All the locked-up days
Break and let us pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Lift me higher now
Hear the crowd breathe in
One bright line of light
Spins around our skin

[Chorus]
Joy, rise up, rise up
Joy, rise up high
Joy, rise up, rise up
Sing it to the sky

Joy, rise up, rise up
We are here tonight
Joy, rise up, rise up
Burning clean and bright

[Bridge]
Oh, let the dark fall away
Oh, let the wild bells stay
One voice becomes a flame
One song, one name

[Final Chorus]
Joy, rise up, rise up
Joy, rise up high
Joy, rise up, rise up
Sing it to the sky

Joy, rise up, rise up
We are here tonight
Joy, rise up, rise up
Burning clean and bright

Joy, rise up, rise up
Joy, rise up high
Joy, rise up, rise up
We are alive
