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

(Ah, ah-ha, ayy, yeah)

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

(Ah, ah-ha, ayy, yeah)

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'm feeling stronger, stronger than I've been

I'll weather the storm, weather the rain, I am the lightning (lightning)

Don't need a shelter, I'm done with the hiding

(Ah, ah-ha, ayy, yeah)

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
