Though the storms of life are raging
And the shadows come my way
Sometimes I don't know whether it's night or day
There's always someone there
Trying to hold me down
I've even heard some say
They don't want my kind around, oh no
I've learned to hold my head up high
I've learned that it's okay to cry
And to always run the distance, never asking why
I can hear them laughing at me
Through stone-cold walls
I can hear them calling out
Hoping one day that I'll fall
The odds are stacked against me
That I know, but I can't let go
I can't let go, no, no, no, no
Open your eyes and see
What your love has done for me
Open your eyes and see
How your love has set me free
You are the one who believed in me
You helped me hold on to my dreams
With love on my side, still I rise, I rise
My enemies
They weave a web of treachery and deceit
Designed to keep me forever on my knees
"You just ain't good enough"
Well, how many times have we heard that sad song?
But I wait patiently just to prove them wrong
I've learned to hold my head up high
I've learned that it's okay to cry
And not to be ashamed of who I am or to be
I can hear them laughing at me
Through stone-cold walls
I can hear them calling out
Hoping one day that I'll fall
The odds are stacked against me
That I know, but I can't let go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Open your eyes and see
What your love has done for me
Open your eyes and see
How your love has set me free
You are the one who believed in me
You helped me hold on to my dreams
With love on my side, still I rise, I rise
Through the struggles of life
Through the perilous fights
I rise, I rise, I rise, I rise, I rise
