[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
It’s been a hard year, feelin’ the weight now
All of the hurt, all of the dirt, all of the shame now

(I rise)
[Chorus]
Ain’t no way, no way I’m stoppin’ now
Gonna make my way right through the clouds
I rise
I rise
I’ma grit my teeth and bear the pain
Gonna climb this mountain once again
I rise
I rise
[Pre-Drop]
I rise

I weather the storm, weather the rain, I am the lightnin’ (Lightnin’)
Don’t need a shelter, I’m done with the hidin’

[Chorus]
Ain’t no way, no way I’m stoppin’ now
Gonna make my way right through the clouds
I rise
I rise
I’ma grit my teeth and bear the pain
Gonna climb this mountain once again
I rise
I rise
[Pre-Drop]
I rise
I rise
[Drop]
I rise
I rise
