Still I Rise

I was running through the minefields in my head

Drownin' in his words left for dead

We don't reveal ourselves we wear the mask instead

Everyone's falling down

We hide, we cry, we bleed, we run

Waterin' our thorns from a forgotten sun

We suffer alone but it's everyone

Everyone's fallin' down

Yeah, everyone's fallin' down

I am alive

I live in my own time

I am alive

Still I Rise

Scraps falling from the master's plate

Shadow monkeys follow me but they're too late

The journey's been too hard to just accept our fate

Yeah, everyone's fallin' down

Broken and battered now we've found the dawn

Shaken but not shattered still the road goes on

We stand, we fight

This is our song

Yeah, everyone's risin' up

Everyone's risin' up

I am alive

I live in my own time

I am alive

Still I Rise

Still I Rise

It's beautiful and tragic

Evidence of magic

Healed by the summer rain

In this skin

Breathing in

The blood of a thousand heroes

Runnin' through my veins

SOLO

I am alive

I live in my own time

I am alive

Still I Rise

I am alive

I live in my own time

I am alive

Still I Rise

Still I Rise

Still I Rise
