Verse 1] Grab your keys, let's hit the road We gave ‘em chances, watched ‘em fold Toxic words like venom bites But I’m still standin’ in the light Sirens wailin' in the night I sit up straight and ask God why But even when I feel the strain I rise again through all the pain [HOOK – solo with choir echo] Solo: They can't break me— Choir: No, they can't! Solo: They won't shake me— Choir: Not a chance! Solo: I'm still standing— Choir: Praise the Lord! Solo: And I ain't lookin’ back no more! Chorus Lead: I won’t fall now, not after all I’ve climbed too high to lose it all Choir (harmonized): No, no, no, not now... I won’t fall down Lead: They tried to break me, watched me bend But I came back strong again Choir: Oh yes I did, oh yes I did Lead: You can’t steal my fight, my vow I’ve come too far, I won’t fall now Choir (crescendo): No, I won’t fall now! No, I won’t fall now! [Verse 2] You said I’d never stand alone But I found peace in my own soul Yeah, I said things I can’t take back But you were poison, cold and black You made me doubt the good in me But I broke free and now I see The world can bruise, it cuts so deep But dreams don’t die, they don’t come cheap [Mini Hook – with stomp/clap rhythm] Lead: One step, one prayer, one night alone Choir (clap/stomp rhythm): Still I rise, still I rise, on my own! [Chorus ] Lead: I won’t fall now, not after all I’ve climbed too high to lose it all Choir: (Ooh yeah...) Lead: They tried to break me, watched me bend But I came back strong again Choir (soaring): You can't stop this heart, no how! Lead: You can’t steal my fight, my vow I’ve come too far, I won’t fall now [Bridge] Lead: I lost my heart, I lost my way But found my fire in yesterday You had your chance, now it’s too late I’m movin’ on, no time for hate Choir (gentle, layered): Where are your friends when you’re alone? I built a kingdom on my own… [Final Chorus] Lead: I won’t fall now, I’ve come alive From burning roads to open skies Choir (lifted harmonies): Open skies! Ooh, I rise! Lead: I faced the dark, I found the flame I’ll never be the same again Choir: No, no, I’ll never be the same! Lead: So hear me now, I make this vow I’ve come too far—I won’t fall now Choir (powerful): I won’t fall now! (No, no, no!) I won’t fall now! Lead: I won’t fall now, I’ve come alive From burning roads to open skies Choir (lifted harmonies): Open skies! Ooh, I rise! Lead: I faced the dark, I found the flame I’ll never be the same again Choir: No, no, I’ll never be the same! Lead: So hear me now, I make this vow I’ve come too far—I won’t fall now Choir (powerful): I won’t fall now! (No, no, no!) I won’t fall now! [Outro]
