Battered by life Words used to cut like a knife Was stuck in your pain Now there's no need to explain You can't hold me down Your idle threats don't work now Fear it in my eyes For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine Fear of your voice Held in the dark with no choice Found strength of my own Leaving you toxic, alone You can't hold me down Your idle threats don't work now Fear it in my eyes For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine It’s gone on too long Your misguided spell on me Taking to the night Running, changing You won’t push back I’ll win this fight You can't hold me down Your idle threats don't work now Fear it in my eyes For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine
