I was feeling low, didn't know which way to go
I was feeling down, helpful words became meaningless sounds
All I've ever wanted was someone to hold my hand
Let me know I'm not alone, tell me they understand
I was always told that my troubles would come and go
Nothing lasts forever, new highs will follow these lows
And when I found my friend, it showed me those words were true
I've got a leg to stand on, I'm better because of you
I'll rise, I'll rise
I'll rise, I'll rise
Now I'm feeling good, you know I never thought I would
I've finally come around, I think I've really got it down
I look at the world and feel like I could own it all
I'm up higher than I've ever been but I'm not afraid to fall
I'll rise, I'll rise
I'll rise, I'll rise
Understand the words as I've said them are true
If you feeling lost or low you'll know just what to do
You'll rise, you'll rise
You'll rise, You'll rise
We'll rise, we all rise
We rise, we'll all rise
