Rihanna - Lift Me Up (From Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) lyrics

This song is such a great tribute to Chadwick, and I loved the way the entire theater was quiet as though everyone was having their own goodbye moment. When you are happy you enjoy music. But when your are sad you understand the lyrics. We all have to admit this lady is a piece of sweet gem.

[Rihanna - Lift Me Up From Black Panther: Wakanda Forever lyrics]

Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh

Lift me up hold me down
Keep me close safe and sound


Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me in the warmth of your love
When you depart, keep me safe safe and sound

Lift me up hold me down
Keep me close safe and sound


Drowning in an endless sea
Take some time and stay with me
Keep me in the strength of your arms
Keep me safe safe and sound

Lift me up hold me down
Keep me safe safe and sound

Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep keep me safe
We need light, we need love

(Lift me up) Lift me up in your arms
(Hold me down) I need love, I need love
I need love (Keep me close) Hold me, hold me
(Safe and sound) Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me
(Lift me up) Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me (Hold me down) Hold me, hold me
(Keep me safe) We need light, we need love

About the song Rihanna - Lift Me Up (From Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)

Rihanna is the most versatile artist to have ever entered the music industry and that's a certified fact. The same girl who gave us island tunes like Work and doo wop hits like Love On The Brain. She's rapped, she's belted, and now she's soothing our souls. Honestly, she deserves every award under the sun.

This is a versatile song. You can dedicate this song to a deceased loved one, listen to this song as a romantic love song, a child can dedicate this song to mother on mother's day, or a mother can sing this song as a lullaby to her baby. This song sends you in a deep meditation, it has a Christmas Carol vibes. Rihanna never diasappoints she keeps u wanting more.

Rihanna, the more you age, the more amazing you become. Your voice has matured beautifully. Your tone is so rich, even with so few lyrics, you give this song such depth that it hits with a soulful impact. That's a true artistry. I love that anyone could here this playing somewhere and immediately know it's Rihanna. I also love the queen who wrote this song. Bravo Marvel & Disney for giving us nostalgia to commemorate Chadwick's homegoing ceremony. Rihanna has always been her authentic self and that's why we love her. My girl is standing fully clothed on the beach, at night, wearing a winter coat, and singing a simple song with no drums, dancers, extravagant visuals, or camera tricks. YET regardless of the simplicity, the vocal and visual is so impactful. That's how you know you are an icon living.
