Rise - Live at Apollo

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

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

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

Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

You were always there for me, but
Didn't know what I was made of
The pressure only made this diamond
Stronger, stronger, stronger

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

Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

Rise
Rise
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Hey, rise up with the waves
Whose singin' it with me, Apollo?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Today, rise up with the waves
Rise up with the waves

Rise
Rise (ooh)
Rise
Hey, rise up with the waves

I was who I always needed
Even when I couldn't see it
Thank you so much, Apollo
Thank you, Ewan
