I've been taught, in the name of life
What a thrill, like a steely knife
It hit my face
See it left without a trace
Life's been short, in the name of love
Paid my bills, just to rise above secret hills
There's been awful pain all through this race
I made it to a peaceful place, i know -
I will make it again
See my consciousness is bright and clear
See me standing tall and have no fear at all
You see me standing tall and i have no fear at all
(i will rise again)
(chorus)
Take away my pride, i will rise again
Though it seems so hard, i know -
You will see me again
Seasons come and go, i will rise again
Deep inside i know
I'll be back again
What a thrill, like a steely knife
It hit my face
See it left without a trace
Life's been short, in the name of love
Paid my bills, just to rise above secret hills
There's been awful pain all through this race
I made it to a peaceful place, i know -
I will make it again
See my consciousness is bright and clear
See me standing tall and have no fear at all
You see me standing tall and i have no fear at all
(i will rise again)
(chorus)
Take away my pride, i will rise again
Though it seems so hard, i know -
You will see me again
Seasons come and go, i will rise again
Deep inside i know
I'll be back again
