Hi Daniel! All three verbs have similar meanings. They all mean to elevate or to move from a lower position from a higher position. The difference is that rise is an intransitive verb and raise is a transitive verb. Lift is trickier. Most people use lift as a transitive verb but people infrequently use it as an intransitive verb too.

An intransitive verb (like rise) does not require an object. We use rise when something moves upwards by itself.

The sun rises every morning.
The children's voices rise when they are excited.
The temperature rose quickly this summer.

In these examples, the subjects (sun, voices, temperature) move up by themselves without any help from something else.

On the other hand, a transitive verb (like raise) requires an object for the subject of the sentence to act on. So we use raise when one thing moves another thing upwards.

Raise your hand if you have a question.
She raised her voice because she was angry.

In these examples, the subject (you, she) raised the object (hand, voice).

Usually lift is also a transitive verb, like raise. Something has to lift something else. However, occasionally people use lift as a transitive verb, like rise. If you find this confusing, don't worry. Some native English speakers find it confusing too. The safe thing to do is to use lift as a transitive verb (like raise) until you become more comfortable with experimenting with English. :)

Lift your hand from the desk.
He lifted his voice in song.
The balloon lifted into the sky. (okay)
The balloon rose into the sky. (better)
