STILL I RISE
Verse 1
Another morning, another restless night,
Searching for a reason, searching for the light.
The road is getting longer than I ever knew,
Every dream I planted seems too far from view.
Friends are moving forward, I'm standing in the rain,
Smiling through the struggle, hiding all the pain.
Questions fill my heart, and answers are so few,
But I refuse to let my hope be buried too.
Chorus
Still I rise, though I've fallen many times,
Still I fight, though the mountain's hard to climb.
Every scar upon my heart tells a story of survival,
I may be down today, but tomorrow I'll be higher.
Still I rise, still I rise.
Verse 2
Failure knows my name, we've met more than once,
I've tasted disappointment and the words that people flaunt.
But every closed door taught me how to stand,
And every broken dream made me a stronger man.
The future may be hidden, the path may not be clear,
But I won't surrender to uncertainty and fear.
For every seed that waits beneath the ground so long,
One day breaks the surface and becomes a mighty song.
Chorus
Still I rise, though I've fallen many times,
Still I fight, though the mountain's hard to climb.
Every scar upon my heart tells a story of survival,
I may be down today, but tomorrow I'll be higher.
Still I rise, still I rise.
Bridge
If you're listening, young dreamer, don't give in,
The race is not yet over, this is not the end.
The tears you cry today will water your tomorrow,
And joy will find the place where you once carried sorrow.
Final Chorus
Still I rise, with my faith held in my hands,
Still I walk, though I don't yet understand.
The storm won't last forever, and the sun will surely shine,
My season is coming, and my victory is mine.
Still I rise...
Still I rise.
