[Verse 1]
They said I couldn't
They laughed in my face
Friends turned to critics
Then vanished without a trace
Talk big in the comments
Quiet when I walk in the room
I took every rumor
Built a rocket to the moon
[Chorus]
I will rise and emerge
Stand my ground
Feel the surge
Every doubt
Every word they threw
I turn it into fuel
I believe in myself
I won't sit on some shelf
You can hate
You can curse
It's cool
You won't stop me
No
You won't
[Verse 2]
You called it crazy
I called it a plan
You tried to break me
I learned how to stand
You hide in the back row
I’m front of the stage
You tried to write my story
I tore out that page
[Chorus]
I will rise and emerge
Stand my ground
Feel the surge
Every doubt
Every word they threw
I turn it into fuel
I believe in myself
I won't sit on some shelf
You can hate
You can curse
It's cool
You won't stop me
No
You won't
[Bridge]
Strong when it hurts
Strong when I shake
Strong when the closest ones
Turn out fake
Strong in the fire
Stronger each fall
You can push
You can pull
But I won’t crawl (hey!)
[Chorus]
I will rise and emerge
Stand my ground
Feel the surge
Every doubt
Every word they threw
I turn it into fuel
I believe in myself
I won't sit on some shelf
You can hate
You can curse
It's cool
You won't stop me
No
You won't
[Chorus]
We will rise and emerge
Hear our hearts as they surge
Every scar
Every mark they drew
We turn it into fuel
We believe in ourselves
We’re not stuck on some shelf
You can hate
You can curse
It's cool
You won't stop us
No
You won't (oh yeah)
