I won't just survive
(Oh, you will see me thrive...)
Can 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, ohhh!
Oh yes a 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...
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "you're out of time."
But still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in; 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...
Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "you're out of time!!"
But still, I rise...
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in; think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
Don't doubt it, don't doubt
(Oh oh, oh oh)
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
(Don't be surprised, I will still rise...)
