Nashville Rising

They say the spring marches in like a lion
And look at the wildcat win a touchdown
In all of its ruin, rubble, and rain
That's troubling poor Nashville, my home-town

But ain't we gonna rise?
Nashville rising
Ain't we gonna rise up,
Singing again?
We're gonna build it back
Together, better
Than it ever was
Than it's ever been

Now this ain't the first time the hard truth stared our city down
And it won't be the last one that we'll overcome
See how the circle remains unbroken, Lord
See how these trials and tribulations make us strong

But ain't we gonna rise?
Nashville rising
Ain't we gonna rise up,
Singing again?
We're gonna build it back
Together, better
Than it ever was
Than it's ever been

They say the spring marches in like a lion
And they say she'll walk away just like a lamb
Until that day I pray, God's gonna light the way
We're gonna shine my city up again, and again

Ain't we gonna rise?
Nashville rising
Ain't we gonna rise up,
Singing again?
We're gonna build it back
Together, better
Than it ever was
Than it's ever been

Ain't we gonna rise?
Nashville rising
Ain't we gonna rise up,
Singing again?
We're gonna build it back
Together, better
Than it ever was
Than it's ever been
So much better
Than it ever was
Than it's ever been
