Lyrics
I Shall Rise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As I walk through frozen sands
Through the flames of burning lands
My feet are torn, they're torn to strands
I will not thirst
As I cross the raging sea
Waves are crashing over me
They drag me down, they drag me down
I will not drown
They'll know my name
After the storms are passing through
They'll know my name
When they've forgotten all about you
They'll know my name
After the storms are passing through
They'll know my name
When they've forgotten all about you
They're calling out, they're calling out my name
They're calling out, they're calling out my name
And I shall rise, oh well I shall rise
Again and again
I shall rise, oh well I shall rise
Again and again
And I shall rise, oh well I shall rise
Again and again
I shall rise, oh well I shall rise
Again and again
I shall rise, oh well I shall rise
Again and again
I shall rise oh well I shall rise
Again and again
