[Verse 1] Morning on the floor Clothes in a small blue pile The sink still full of last night And I just sat there a while My phone face down in the chair Like it knew what I’d say I fed the cat in the dark Then watched the day crawl away [Pre-Chorus] But I’m still here Still breathing in Still got a spark Under the skin I know that ache Can speak too loud But I can hear A new sound now [Chorus] I will rise again I will rise again With my name in my mouth I will rise again I will rise again Step by step, I come out (come out) (out of the dark) I will rise again [Verse 2] Took the bus past the store Where we bought cheap oranges I held the bag by the door Like it might keep me from this The mirror gave me a stranger With tired eyes and a frown But I washed my face in cold water And I did not look down [Pre-Chorus] I’m not the same As yesterday The weight still talks But it fades away One small move Then one more I’ve got a hand On the door [Chorus] I will rise again I will rise again With my name in my mouth I will rise again I will rise again Step by step, I come out (come out) (out of the dark) I will rise again [Bridge] If tonight comes hard If the room gets small I’ll light one lamp And I’ll answer the call Not fixed, not healed Just standing here With a shaking heart And a thread of gold near [Final Chorus] I will rise again I will rise again With my name in my mouth I will rise again I will rise again Step by step, I come out (come out) (out of the dark) I will rise again I will rise again I will rise again I’m still here I will rise again
