[Verse 1]
They laughed at dreams I chose to chase
Like I was running in a hopeless race
But I walked on through the pouring rain
With fire in my chest they couldn’t drain
[Verse 2]
There were nights I cried without a sound
When no one knew my world's crashing down
But every tear I let quietly fall
Built a bridge each time I hit the wall
[Chorus]
Still, I rise
Even when the flame begins to die
I’m not flawless, but I’m real
And this heart refuses not to feel
Still, I rise—though I walk alone
‘Cause deep inside, I know I’m not unknown
[Verse 3]
I learned to smile while feeling torn
To walk in storms I’ve always worn
I chose to trust in my own hands
For strength is born when no one understands
[Chorus]
Still, I rise
Even when the flame begins to die
I’m not flawless, but I’m real
And this heart refuses not to feel
Still, I rise—though I walk alone
‘Cause deep inside, I know I’m not unknown
[Bridge]
There were days I almost let it go
But a whisper in me said, “Take it slow”
Even tired, I carry on
‘Cause the only one I lean on… is my own
[Climax Chorus]
Still, I rise
Though I break, I never compromise
No storm can tear apart the core
Of someone who has knelt before
Still, I rise, though the road is long
‘Cause I was made to prove them wrong
[Soft Fading Closing Lyrics]
And through each fall,
I’ll stand up tall…
Still, I rise.
Yes… still, I rise.
