Intro I've been walking with the weight of the night Every shadow tried to steal my sight But I keep my head above the doubt Even when the lights go out I hear voices, I hear the fear But something louder pulls me near A little spark inside my chest Whispers softly, "I'm not done yet" I bend but I don't break I shake but I stay I feel the dark around me But it won't make me fade I'm surrounded by demons but I'm standing in light Yeah, they reach for my heart but they don't know my fire I'm surrounded by demons, still I open my eyes I was born for the fire Still I rise, still I rise, still I rise Still I rise Still I rise Every tear left a mark on my skin Every fall taught me how to begin I don't run from the pain anymore I turn wounds into wings when I soar They don't see what I carry inside All the love that survived the fight I don't need to be fearless now I just need to stay somehow I breathe through the ache I trust the way Even in the darkest moment I find my way I'm surrounded by demons but I'm wrapped in the sky Yeah, they try to pull me under but I was born to fly I'm surrounded by demons, still my heart stays kind I was born for the fire Still I rise, still I rise I won't disappear I belong right here Every scar is proof I'm stronger than the truth They threw me in the fire I'm surrounded by demons but I'm glowing tonight Every step that I take turns the dark into light I'm surrounded by demons but my soul's alive I was born for the fire Still I rise, still I rise, still I rise Still I rise Still I rise
