So hard to see the light
When the weight of the world is mine
But I, oh no I - I will not resign
And I am biting my tongue
No I ain’t gonna run
This is the battle I choose
I'm gonna win I ain’t gonna lose
Sticks and stones
Won’t break my bones
As long I am breathing yeah I will stand tall
Take me down
Shut me out
But you ain’t never ever gonna see me bow
I’ll do anything
Just to prove you wrong
Cause as long as I am breathing yeah I still stand tall
See me stumble
See me fall
But you ain’t never ever gonna see me crawl
You can try and shoot me with your dirty liеs
You can try and cut me with your sharpened еyes
Like the dust and like the tide
Still I rise
Ain’t nobody who will ever bring me down
Ain’t nobody who can take away my crown
Like the dust and like the tide
Still I rise
I keep on banging my drum
Cause the best is yet to come
So I, oh oh I - keep holding on
I’ll do anything
Just to prove you wrong
Cause as long as I am breathing yeah I still stand tall
See me stumble
See me fall
But you ain’t never ever gonna see me crawl
You can try and shoot me with your dirty lies
You can try and cut me with your sharpened eyes
Like the dust and like the tide
Still I rise
Ain’t nobody who will ever bring me down
Ain’t nobody who can take away my crown
Like the dust and like the tide
Still I rise
