Rise (Live at Apollo)

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] So, Hammersmith Apollo In a really cool turn of events This year we got asked to write a song for a DreamWorks film Called "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" And the story was so close to my heart It's about a young girl finding her strength and her power And overcoming her insecurities and shyness And finding her strength to rise I would love to introduce a very special guest to the stage I would love to introduce Ewan J Phillips, who wrote this song with me To come out and play it He's been an incredible support all tour So this song, for anyone who has ever doubted you Or made you feel like you're not enough, Apollo May they watch you rise [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: Freya Ridings & Ewan J Phillips] 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: Freya Ridings & Ewan J Phillips] 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 Whose singin' it with me, Apollo? 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 [Spoken Outro] Thank you so much, Apollo Thank you, Ewan
