Rise

I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype

I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform (I will transform)

When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures, all start circling (circling)
They're whispering (whispering)
You're out of time but, still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final
Nail is in (nail is in)
Think again (think again)
Don't be surprised
I will still rise

I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So, I call on my angels
They say

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed (and be transformed)

'Cause when
When the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling (circling)
They're whispering (whispering)
You're out of time but, still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final
Nail is in (nail is in)
Think again (think again)
Don't be surprised
I will still rise

Oh, oh, oh
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Oh, oh, oh
Just fight it, just fight it
Oh, oh, oh

Don't be surprised
I will still rise
