I was running through the minefields in my head
Drownin' in his words left for dead
We don't reveal ourselves we wear the mask instead
Everyone's falling down
We hide, we cry, we bleed, we run
Waterin' our thorns from a forgotten sun
We suffer alone but it's everyone
Everyone's fallin' down
Yeah, everyone's fallin' down
I am alive
I live in my own time
I am alive
Still I Rise
Scraps falling from the master's plate
Shadow monkeys follow me but they're too late
The journey's been too hard to just accept our fate
Yeah, everyone's fallin' down
Broken and battered now we've found the dawn
Shaken but not shattered still the road goes on
We stand, we fight
This is our song
Yeah, everyone's risin' up
Everyone's risin' up
I am alive
I live in my own time
I am alive
Still I Rise
Still I Rise
It's beautiful and tragic
Evidence of magic
Healed by the summer rain
In this skin
Breathing in
The blood of a thousand heroes
Runnin' through my veins
SOLO
I am alive
I live in my own time
I am alive
Still I Rise
I am alive
I live in my own time
I am alive
Still I Rise
Still I Rise
Still I Rise
