I will arise
Rise Rise Rise
I will arise
Show me who you really are
Show me that you're not someone
who would cast out their young
and leave them behind
And I'll try, I'll try to be reasoning
I'll try to forget you abandoned me
On the shallow shores I'm tied to the ocean floor
for the current to take me away
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You tried to leave me behind, stranded in the tide
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You can't call me your own I won't be disowned
I must arise, pulling myself through the tide
I will arise
You thought you left me there to die
but I made it through the tide
Rise Rise Rise
Made it through the tide
Rise Rise Rise
I'm not drowning, you're just broken
I can mend you and forgive this moment
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You tried to leave me behind, stranded in the tide
You want to say you're wrong and now it's just too late
You can't call me your own, you wanted me gone
I will carry myself alone again
from where you left me to sink or swim
There's no making this right
What's done is done
You want to say you're wrong
How could you call me your son
I saw the waves trying to pull me in
I broke the tide
I will arise
Rise Rise Rise
I will arise
Rise Rise Rise
I will arise
