I won't just survive 
Oh, you will see me thrive 
Can't write my story 
I'm beyond the archetype 
I won't just conform 
No matter how you shake my core 
Cause my roots, they run deep, oh 

Oh, ye of so little faith 
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it 
Victory is in my veins 
I know it, I know it 
And I will not negotiate 
I'll fight it, I'll fight it 
I will transform 

When, when the fire's at my feet again 
And the vultures all start circling 
They're whispering, "you're out of time." 
But still, I rise 
This is no mistake, no accident 
When you think the 
Final nail is in; think again 
Don't be surprised, I will still rise 

I must stay conscious 
Through the menace and chaos 
So I call on my angels 
They say... 

Oh, ye of so little faith 
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it 
Victory is in your veins 
You know it, you know it 
And you will not negotiate 
Just fight it, just fight it 
And be transformed 

When, when the fire's at my feet again 
And the vultures all start circling 
They're whispering, "you're out of time." 
But still, I rise 
This is no mistake, no accident 
When you think the 
Final nail is in; think again 
Don't be surprised, I will still rise 

Don't doubt it, don't doubt 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
You know it, you know it 
Still rise 
Just fight it, just fight it 
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
