Rise You came along in a flash you were ruthless and so insane I wasn't done Livin'high when everything was swept away then, suddenly it was all gone it seems so long until the dawn But I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise from the burden, rise from the hurting, I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise I was the one to believe not a thing could effect my life But you made me see I was wrong there you were causing pain and strife You were the one shook me up Left me down on the ground but I grasped for light for the air Tried to pull myself up and You showed its cruel and it’s unfair For some things you can't prepare But I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise from the burden, rise from the hurting, I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise I don't know what will happen next, when life will put me to the test But I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise from the burden, rise from the hurting, I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise
