Another year has gone without a trace
It seems that life enjoys it's slap in the face
Beaten down and pushed against the wall
But if I stumble when I walk, I will crawl
I will rise and fight off the world again
I will rise and stand against it all
I will rise to be, whatever I believe, I will
To try and give up now is such a waste
Yes it's easier to quit than finish the race
The times are hard and rough
But that should give you a desire
It's the thing that takes me higher
It's the life I aspire
Just when you think you have got a grasp
But for some reason it won't ever last
What will I do when I feel like letting go
I know...I know...
I will rise
