• Chorus:
    I rise
    Against what you stand for
    I rise
    Against everything
    You have done to me and
    Everyone you’ve hurt.
    I rise.

    Lies, destroying my soul,
    I know
    They had come directly
    From you
    You have twisted the truth
    To your own advantage,
    And it’s destroying me.
    I rise.

    [Repeat Chorus]

    You try to force your views
    On me
    You try to make me see
    Your way
    I refuse, and you don’t
    Seem to get the message:
    I will not be your slave.
    I rise

    [Repeat Chorus]

    So shut up, now back up,
    Then get away from me
    [2x]
    You try to bring me down
    But I tell you right now
    I will rise.
    I will rise.

    I rise.

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Rise. I rise. I will rise.
