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,
ain't 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
I'm gon' break 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
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,
ain't 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
I'm gon' break 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
