For Oklahoma...

Verse
When the storms of life blow through
They can knock us to our knees
Leaving life in shambles
Leaving pain and much debris

Time for grieving losses
Time for wiping tears from eyes
Time for getting up from where we fell
And time to rise

Chorus
We will rise! We will rise!
Sure as sun in Oklahoma skies!
We will rise though the road be rough and long!

We will rise, live or die,
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side!
We will rise! We will rise!
Yes, we will rise! rise!

Verse
Though we may be wounded
We are still people of choice
Choosing to give thanks for life
And choosing to rejoice!

Though our faith be tested
We have come to realize
By God's grace and by His mercy we will rise!

Chorus
We will rise! We will rise!
Sure as sun in Oklahoma skies!
We will rise though the road be rough and long!

We will rise, live or die,
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side!
We will rise! We will rise!
Yes, we will rise! rise!

Bridge
From the Cookson Hills to the Kiamichi Mountains
All the way across to the mighty Wichitas,
Up into the panhandle to the Black Mesa
Oklahoma people are Oklahoma strong!

From the Boiling Springs and the Alabaster Caverns,
From the northern plains to refreshing Turner Falls
Oklahoma people bearing Oklahoma burdens!
Oklahoma people are Oklahoma strong!

Chorus
We will rise! We will rise!
Sure as sun in Oklahoma skies!
We will rise though the road be rough and long!

We will rise, live or die,
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side!
We will rise! We will rise!
Yes, we will rise! rise!
