After you tore me down till ground zero 
on these ruins I feel a strong building grow 
And I will rise, I will rise. I will rise, I will Rise

After you drained my source till an empty cup
On this dry land I taste a sweet river well up
& I will rise, I will rise. I will rise, I will rise

I will rise and I'll get back again on my two feet

After you stole my light till shadows were gone
Behind this blindness I see a new sunny day dawn
& I will rise, I will rise. I will rise, I will rise
I will rise and I'll get back again on my two feet

Your the first to invest in my defeat
But you'll reap what you sow 
when I keep on risin' to my two feet 

After you cut my voice till I faded out 
In this silence I hear my guitar scream loud 
& I will rise, I will rise. I will rise, I will rise

I will rise and I'll get back again on my two feet
I will rise and I'll get back again on my two feet
