[Intro – soft vocal layering] Mmm… yeah Oh, I rise… still I rise… ⸻ [Verse 1] Woke up with a heavy heart Feelin’ like I’m fallin’ apart Tryna breathe in a world so cold But I still got a fire in my soul Been down, been bruised, been low Lost hope, but I never let go Every tear just waterin’ my fight Even in the dark, I find my light ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] No, I won’t break, I won’t bend Every loss just taught me how to win I keep movin’ through the pain ’Cause the sun gon’ shine after rain ⸻ [Chorus] Still I rise, when the nights get long Still I fight, when the strength feels gone I won’t give up, I was made to survive Still I rise… still I rise… Never bowed, never ran from the flame Even when the world forgets my name I hold on, with my head held high Still I rise… mmm… still I rise ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve been on the edge, hangin’ by a thread Talkin’ to God with tears I never said But He heard every cry in the silence Turned my pain into divine guidance Oh, I’m not my past, I’m not my scars I’m more than the nights I fell apart And if I gotta crawl, I’ll still make it through ’Cause I know there’s purpose in what I do ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] No, I won’t fold, I won’t fade Even broken wings find their way I keep singin’ through the strain ’Cause I know my soul can’t be chained ⸻ [Chorus – fuller vocals with harmony] Still I rise, when the nights get long Still I fight, when the strength feels gone I won’t give up, I was made to survive Still I rise… still I rise… Never bowed, never ran from the flame Even when the world forgets my name I hold on, with my head held high Still I rise… yeah, yeah… still I rise ⸻ [Bridge – slow, emotional climb] Let ’em talk, let ’em doubt, let ’em try to bring me down I’m stronger now, I’ve walked through the fire and found A higher love, a deeper grace I’m still here, I found my place ⸻ [Final Chorus – ad libs + runs] Still I rise (ohhh), when the nights get long Still I fight (yeah), when the strength feels gone I won’t give up, I was made to survive Still I rise… still I rise… Still I rise (mmm), when the sky turns grey Still I shine, I was born this way I hold on, and I testify… Still I rise… ohhh… still I rise
