Rise again
Music and Lyrics: Thorsten French
I've been down so long
Thought I'd lost my name
Dust on everything
That used to burn like flame
But something's stirring now
Deep inside these bones
A fire I thought was dead
Is calling me back home
I can feel it building
This hunger in my chest
I was made for more than this
More than second best
I will rise again
Stronger than before
Break these chains I've worn
Reclaim what's mine, what I was born for
I will rise again
Watch me take the sky
Every scar I earned
Taught me how to fight
I will rise again
They thought I'd disappear
Fade into the past
But stone by stone I'm building
Something made to last
Every battle lost
Every tear I cried
Made me who I am
This warrior inside
I can feel it burning
This power in my veins
What tried to break me down
Only made me brave
I will rise again
Stronger than before
Break these chains I've worn
Reclaim what's mine, what I was born for
I will rise again
Watch me take the sky
Every scar I earned
Taught me how to fight
watch di fiyah blaze, see di lion step out
nuh matter what dem say, nuh matter what dem shout
dem try lock di gate, try fi hold me inna cage
but a new chapter write, we a-turn di next page
strong like a mountain, firm like a tree
every chain a-bruk, now mi spirit set free
militant step, yeah we march to di sound
pick up di crown, neva touch di ground
rising up!
Stand and watch me now
See what I've become
Everything that tried to kill my heart
Only made it strong
(Made it strong)
I'm not backing down
This is where I stand
The crown was always mine
(Always mine)
I will rise again
Stronger than before
Break these chains I've worn
Reclaim what's mine, what I was born for
I will rise again
Watch me take the sky
Every scar I earned
Taught me how to fight
I will rise again
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise again
