The day has come
As the darkness falls
Do you remember when I used to have it all
I hear them run
As they broke my walls
Now I remember you're the one I used to call
Cause when the world brings me down
And when the darkness takes my crown
And when my face turns black and brown
And now it's time for me to drown
I'll rise
I'll rise
It's no surprise
This is my demise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I ignored their cries
And now my kingdom dies
The lightning strikes
Then the thunder roars
Will they forgive me if I give up here and now
I burned their homes
And started wars
Father forgive me I have lost myself somehow
Cause when the world brings me down
And when the darkness takes my crown
And when my face turns black and brown
And now it's time for me to drown
I'll rise
I'll rise
It's no surprise
This is my demise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I ignored their cries
And now my kingdom dies
Cause when the world brings me down
And when the darkness takes my crown
And when my face turns black and brown
And now it's time for me to drown
I'll rise
I'll rise
It's no surprise
This is my demise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I ignored their cries
And now my kingdom dies
My kingdom dies
My kingdom dies
My kingdom dies
I'll rise
I'll rise
Yes I will rise
