Still I Rise

Verse 1
I remember all the voices
Telling me I'd never make it through
Every failure felt like a headline
Every dream was something I might lose

There were nights I stared at the ceiling
Trying hard to silence all the doubt
But even when my faith was shaking
Your whisper never counted me out

Pre-Chorus
When I was hanging by a thread
When the road disappeared ahead
You were writing hope across the sky

Chorus
I've been bent, I've been bruised
But I'm not buried, I'm breaking through
Every scar is proof I survived
Every tear became a reason why

I've been lost, I've been tired
Walked through valleys, walked through fire
The world may knock me down sometimes
But by Your grace...

Still I rise

Verse 2
I've carried weights nobody noticed
Smiling while the storm was raging on
Kept moving through the wreckage
Holding onto promises alone

Now I see the strength You planted
Deep beneath the broken parts of me
What the enemy meant for destruction
Became the story of my victory

Pre-Chorus
When I was hanging by a thread
When the road disappeared ahead
You were writing hope across the sky

Chorus
I've been bent, I've been bruised
But I'm not buried, I'm breaking through
Every scar is proof I survived
Every tear became a reason why

I've been lost, I've been tired
Walked through valleys, walked through fire
The world may knock me down sometimes
But by Your grace...

Still I rise

Bridge
You turned my ashes into armor
Turned my weakness into strength
Every battle left a lesson
Every wound became my faith

I am stronger than my fear now
Stronger than the lies I knew
Because the grave was never meant
To be the ending of my story

Final Chorus
I've been bent, I've been bruised
But I'm not buried, I'm breaking through
Every scar is proof I survived
Every tear became a reason why

I've been lost, I've been tired
Walked through valleys, walked through fire
The world may knock me down sometimes

But by Your grace
By Your love
By Your power from above

I still rise

Outro
Still I rise...
Still I rise...
