Rising Strong 2025 – Heather Houston

Rising Strong was originally written in 2018. This version has more fun parts for your singers. When I lead it at a song circle, or with my choir, we sing all five parts. When I lead it at a rally, I just teach part one and part four for time and simplicity sake. Have fun!

Part 1: (Tenor)
Oh take my hand now, yes you belong
And lift your voice now, we’ll sing this song
And we will root down into the ground now
We’re rising strong, yeah, we’re rising strong

Part 2: (Alto 2)

Strong,
Rising strong,
We are strong,
Rising strong

Part 3: (Alto 1)
Strong,
Strong,
We are strong,
Rising strong

Parts 4 and 5: (Soprano 2 & 1)
And we are warriors of the light
And we are stronger when we unite
We are here to waken the love
We are rising strong, yeah we’re rising strong!
