Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's been a hard year
feeling awake now
all of the hurt
all of the dirt
all of the shame now
Nothing but closed doors
I'm not gonna
break down
See doubt is a strong drug
it gets in your bloodstream
you lose your hope
you lose your soul
you lose the whole thing
And I fought
my whole life
to know
it won't break me
Ain't no way
no way I'm stopping now
gonna make my way
right through the clouds
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
Imma grit my teeth
and bear the pain
Gonna climb this
mountain once again
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
Instrumental
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I'm feeling stronger
stronger than I've been
I'll weather the storm
weather the rain
I am the lightning
Don't need a shelter
I'm done
with the hiding
Ain't no way
no way I'm stopping now
gonna make my way
right through the clouds
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
Imma grit my teeth
and bear the pain
Gonna climb this
mountain once again
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
I, I, I, I, I'll rise
