I won't just survive Oh, you will see me thrive Can't write my story I'm beyond the archetype I won't just conform No matter how you shake my core ’Cause my roots, they run deep (Oh, ye of so little faith) don't doubt it, don't doubt it (Victory is in my veins) I know it, I know it (And I will not negotiate) I'll fight it, I'll fight it I will transform When, when the fire's at my feet again And the vultures all start circling They're whispering: You're out of time But still, I rise This is no mistake, no accident When you think the final nail is in; think again Don't be surprised, I will still rise I must stay conscious Through the madness and chaos So I call on my angels They say (Oh, ye of so little faith) don't doubt it, don't doubt it (Victory is in your veins) you know it, you know it (And you will not negotiate) just fight it, just fight it And be transformed When, when the fire's at my feet again And the vultures all start circling They're whispering: You're out of time But still, I rise This is no mistake, no accident When you think the final nail is in; think again Don't be surprised, I will still rise (Don't doubt it, don't doubt it) oh, oh, oh, oh (You know it, you know it (Just fight it, just fight it) Don't be surprised, I will still rise
