Mother oh Mother oh Mother oh Mother
I've been silenced by your demons
I've been beaten by your hands
I held my tongue when I was a child
But I won't be your victim now
I'm no longer meek and mild
Mother oh Mother oh Mother oh Mother
There's a fire in the sky now
There's a sign in the stars
Prophecies coming to be fulfilled
Are you ready yet
I am going to break the wheel
Mother oh Mother oh Mother oh Mother
I am building up an army
I'm calling sisters to my side
I'm breaking chains and freeing slaves
Don't think I'm soft of heart
Every debt must be repaid
Storm coming at night
Look to the sky
Who can protect you but your Mother
Storm coming at night
Fire in the sky
Who can save you but your Mother
I've been waiting for this moment
I've been casting my own crown
It is time to turn to the tide
We are coming now, there is no where you can hide
Storm coming at night
Look to the sky
Who can protect you but your Mother
Storm coming at night
Fire in the sky
Who can save you but your Mother
Try to burn me down
Try to burn me now
The truth is you don't know how
And I will rise, I will rise
Try to burn me now
Try to burn me down
The truth is you can't somehow
I always rise, always rise
Try to burn me now (Rise)
Try to burn me down (Rise)
The truth is you don't know how (Rise)
And I will rise, I will rise
Try to burn me now (Rise)
Try to burn me down (Rise)
The truth is you can't somehow (Rise)
I always rise, always rise, we will rise
Try to burn me now (Rise)
Try to burn me down (Rise)
The truth is you don't know how (Rise)
And I will rise, I will rise
Try to burn me now (Rise)
Try to burn me down (Rise)
The truth is you don't know how (Rise)
And I will rise, I will rise
Try to burn me down
Try to burn me now
The truth is you don't know how
And I will rise, I will rise
Tide is turning out
The wheel is broken down
We're coming for ya now
We will rise, we will rise, we will rise
