Still I Rise Lyrics
Stop searching the sky for answers
and look within
the greatest gift is the life we are given
This is the price you pay, throwing your whole life away
How can you know yourself
When your world is just a lie
Still I rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive
(Truth can not survive)
I feel the hate inside you, I watch it burn
You heard the warnings,
but you, you never learned
This is the price you pay, throwing your whole life away
Pretend to understand
You never even tried (this bit not 100% but sounds like it)
Still I rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive
Watch it burn
the hate inside you
No return, ignore the warning signs
Still I rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive
and look within
the greatest gift is the life we are given
When your world is just a lie
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive
(Truth can not survive)
You heard the warnings,
but you, you never learned
You never even tried (this bit not 100% but sounds like it)
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive
the hate inside you
No return, ignore the warning signs
From the ashes
From the ashes
Look inside, search for meaning
Truth can not survive

These are unbelievably bad...
Correct lyrics (minus one bit I'm not 100% on)

There you go. Good tune though!
It's about getting up when you fall down methinks. Maybe about finding inner strength. "Stop searching the skys for answers..." is probably saying stop asking for help (the sky bit may be about God), and find the strength inside you. I'm suprised there arn't more comments, this is an awsome song
I pretty much got the same thing Adzyman did. The Truth can not survive part seems a bit off, but who knows. Truth could be the religious version of the word, which just means Insert Religion Here's views are 100% correct, all others are lies, regardless of the laws of nature or existence in general. So in that case, religious "truth" can not survive could be a possibility. If it's not that, it sounds like lying to yourself to try to push yourself further or something.
