freya ridings - 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

[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
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
