You told me to take my questions    To the mirror I've lost   You told me to find my answers   At the line I crossed   My source of strength   Is a dream I'd never compromise   Now the emptiness subsides, subsides      Unforgiven promises   All the unfound wishes   Countless times you've held me down   Kept me down       'Cause I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will rise   'Cause I will, I will rise   Never compromise   'Cause I will, I will rise      Oh, unforgiven promises   And all the unfound wishes, wishes   'Cause I will, I will, I will rise      I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will rise   'Cause I will, I will rise   You can see it in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes   'Cause I will, I will rise, rise   I will, I will, I will, I will rise
