Rise from Phases by Stellar Moon
‘You may tread me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I’ll rise’ (Maya Angelou).
Rise is the Full Moon, it’s a celebration, like we do when the moon is full and the energy is high, this song is saying, hey, no matter what, you’ll always get back up to rise again ‘like the sea’.
This is an upbeat song with Motownesque drum rolls, definitive tambourine, solid horns & strong backing vocals. A fun song to leave you feeling empowered and free! Writing this was very visual and easy, the kind of song that all just comes out in one sitting!

Lyrics
There’s a road I’m gonna take
Bad habit I’m gonna break
I left my soul in that lonely town
I’ll go get it next time ‘round
Aint nobody holding me down
Pulled some weeds, churned the Earth
I ran the river for what it’s worth
I climbed up & looked around
See where I’ve been, know where I’m bound
Aint nobody holding me down
Tide’s gonna turn – peacefully
Waves gonna break this tragedy
Red dust on a breeze – I’m down to my knees
I’m gonna rise like the sea
I’m gonna rise like the sea
Wipe my sweat wash my hand
I make my home across this land
Can’t handle boxes I don’t use chains
Don’t spread hatred & I don’t blame
Aint nobody holding me down
Tide’s gonna turn – peacefully
Waves gonna break this tragedy
Red dust on a breeze – I’m down to my knees
I’m gonna rise like the sea
I’m gonna rise like the sea
I don’t know I’ll handle open waters
So many things could bring me down
I can’t see or reach the bottom
But somewhere in the darkness comes the sound
Tide’s gonna turn – peacefully
Waves gonna break this tragedy
Red dust on a breeze – I’m down to my knees
I’m gonna rise like the sea
I’m gonna rise like the sea
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise like the sea
