My friends may press me down
and change my glad to sad
God didn't say that my life would be easy always
So when you knock me down
I am never gonna ever going to frown
I'll keep my hand in the Master's hands
Cause one day It will all come to an end
I'm gonna rise
Rise, Rise, Rise above it all
I'm gonna rise
Rise, Rise, Rise above it all
I'm gonna take wings and fly away to heaven and rise above it all
Rise, Rise, Rise above it all
Rise, Rise, Rise above it all
OOOO Rise above it alllll
This world is so full of evil
And the enemy is all around
Satan has tried so very very hard
He's tried to hold, he's tried to hold me down
But I've go something within me
That helps me make it through the rain
And when it gets rough
And when it gets tough
I don't worry at all
I'm gonna rise
(Melvin Williams)
Gonna rise yeah! I'll rise above it all
No more heartache and pain
And if you miss me from singing down here
Don't ya (3) worry about me nah nah nah!!!
Going to a place, I'm glad there will be no more pain
Gonna shout Hallelujah, gonna praise God's Holy name
I'll rise
One of these ol' days, won't be long
Look for me and I'll be gone
(throughout the song)
(Doug Williams)
I'm gonna rise, rise, rise above it all
I'm gonna rise, rise above it all
One of these old days, I won't have to cry no more
I'll rise above it all
Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness?
Heyy!! Rise, rise, rise above it all
I'll rise, I'll rise. Rise above it all
Trouble will be over. Sorrow will be gone
And I'll rise above it all
