Still I Rise

Still I rise, yah mon

Still I rise

They knock me down but I get back up again

Every battle scar just makes me stronger friend

They spread their doubt like poison in the wind

But my spirit can't be broken, watch me win

I've been fighting since the day that I was born

Every storm I weather makes me more reborn

They want to see me fall and stay on the ground

But I'm climbing higher, can't keep this warrior down

Still I rise, still I rise

Through the darkness into the light

Still I rise, still I rise

Like the sun after the night

You can push me, you can test me

Throw your stones and try to break me

Still I rise, still I rise

Bless up, I'm reaching new heights

Every setback is a setup for my comeback

They tried to bury me but I'm a seed, one love

Now I'm blooming in the place they left me for dead

Turned my pain into power, irie in my head

I stumble and I fall but I never stay down

Dust myself off, put my feet back on the ground

My ancestors' strength running through my veins

Forward ever, backward never, breaking these chains

Still I rise, still I rise

Through the darkness into the light

Still I rise, still I rise

Like the sun after the night

You can push me, you can test me

Throw your stones and try to break me

Still I rise, still I rise

Bless up, I'm reaching new heights

Still I rise, yah mon

Still I rise, big up

Still I rise
