Rise Lyrics
You told me to take my questions
To the mirror I've lost
You told me to find my answers
At the line I crossed
My source of strength
Is a dream I'd never compromise
Now the emptiness subsides, subsides
Unforgiven promises
All the unfound wishes
Countless times you've held me down
Kept me down
'Cause I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will rise
'Cause I will, I will rise
Never compromise
'Cause I will, I will rise
Oh, unforgiven promises
And all the unfound wishes, wishes
'Cause I will, I will, I will rise
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will rise
'Cause I will, I will rise
You can see it in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes
'Cause I will, I will rise, rise
I will, I will, I will, I will rise
To the mirror I've lost
You told me to find my answers
At the line I crossed
My source of strength
Is a dream I'd never compromise
Now the emptiness subsides, subsides
All the unfound wishes
Countless times you've held me down
Kept me down
'Cause I will, I will rise
Never compromise
'Cause I will, I will rise
And all the unfound wishes, wishes
'Cause I will, I will, I will rise
'Cause I will, I will rise
You can see it in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes
'Cause I will, I will rise, rise
I will, I will, I will, I will rise
