Shauna Seeteenak - Makinnialiqtugut (We Will Rise) Lyrics

I’ve let my anxiety fuck with me for too long
I’m tired of worrying when I didn’t do wrong
I feel this pain in my chest from guilt
For shit I didn’t even do, man I need help

I hate talking about shit that’s kept inside
It’s either fight, flight or hide
I choose to stay hidden, what a way of living
It’s easier to talk when it’s written

I know help is out there, but I can’t take it
It’s always a good day when I can fake it
Why am I trying to help others when I can’t help me?
How am I here when I’m not even healthy?

Maybe it’s the stigma, maybe it’s the fear
Maybe I’m not screaming loud enough for them to hear
Or maybe it’s just me and my anxiety
Don’t mind me and my therapy

My heart is racing and it won’t slow down
What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
Sometimes the breathing doesn’t help
Everything making me feel overwhelmed

My face feels numb, my palms are sweaty
I want to calm down, but my brain won’t let me
I wish I can just make this go away
Sick of walking around like I’m okay

The thoughts in my head going to the speed of light
I wish I can make everything feel alright
But I know I can’t. I’m only human
I ask myself what the fuck am I doing?

But it’s okay, you know it’s alright
I’m not the only one that’s in the fight
I said it’s okay, yeah it’s alright
We can beat this shit with all our might

If you ever feel like you’re alone, put your hands up
If you need someone to talk to, put your hands up
C’mon show some love, put your hands up
Let’s show support by putting your hands up

Let us rise for those people we know
Who can’t help but to feel a little low
Let us rise for those who are feeling blue
This song is my gift from me to you

If you ever feel like you’re alone, put your hands up (Makinnialiqtugut)
If you need someone to talk to, put your hands up (Tugut, tugut)
C’mon show some love, put your hands up (Makinnialiqtugut)
Let’s show support by putting your hands up (Tugut, tugut)

Let us rise for those people we know (Inuusiq ajurnaliqpat)
Who can’t help but to feel a little low (Qajumalutit anigurniaqtuq)
Let us rise for those who are feeling blue (Anigurniaqtuq)
This song is my gift from me to you
