A shout is in our hearts 
And laughter fills our mouths
You have been good to us, 
You are faithful
We planted years of tears,   
We can't believe the joy
You have been good to us, 
You are faithful
Whoa
     
We are rising,  
In your rising
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs       
Throw off your mourning, 
This is for dancing
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs  

Now we are dreaming dreams  
Of more than we can see
You have been good to us, 
You are faithful
Our hearts have been unchained,  
It's time to celebrate
You have been good to us, 
You are faithful
 
Whoa

We are rising,  
In your rising
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs       
Throw off your mourning, 
This is for dancing
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs  

Our clinched fists raise     
And slowly open  
To the God that saves,  
And heals the broken
Our clinched fists raise     
And slowly open  
To the God that saves,  
And heals the broken

We are rising,  
In your rising
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs       
Throw off your mourning, 
This is for dancing
Singing freedom songs, 
Freedom songs
