Been knocked down
Time and time
Left for dead
On the line
But there's fire
Deep inside
Can't extinguish
What's divine
They try to clip these wings
But watch me soar
(Watch her soar)
Every damn thing they bring
Just makes me more
(Makes her more)
You can't break my spirit
No, you can't take my soul
(Can't take my soul)
Hell no, I ain't fearin' it
Watch me take control
(Take control)
Through the rain
Through the hell
Still I rise
Still I yell
Pain ain't shit
To what's real
Can't destroy
What I feel
They try to hold me back
But I break free
(Break so free)
Every time I crack
Makes me me
(Makes her free)
You can't break my spirit
No, you can't take my soul
(Can't take my soul)
Hell no, I ain't fearin' it
Watch me take control
(Take control)
La-la-la, rising higher
(Rising higher)
Oh-oh-oh, sacred fire
Ain't no chains
Strong enough
Ain't no pain
Mean enough
To break down
What I am
Spirit strong
Here I stand
You can't break my spirit
No, you can't take my soul
(Can't take my soul)
Hell no, I ain't fearin' it
Watch me take control
(Take control)
