[Verse 1: Yahosh Bonner]
I was made from the ashes
I was part of the Earth
And I could stay in the ground
Or find the way out
And shake off the dearth

[Pre-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
I cried to my Maker and He saved my soul
And I'm headed to the city with the streets of gold
Far on the opposite side of the setting sun

[Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
I'm rising up, my soul is on fire
Nothing's got a hold on me
I'm rising up, up from the rubble
I was drownin', but now I'm free
My chains are broken, I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was
I'm rising up from the dust

[Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
Rising up (I'm rising up)
I'm rising up, I'm rising up
Rising up (I'm rising up)
[Verse 2: Yahosh Bonner]
Like a diamond under pressure
Like metal to the flame
I was broken down
But I'm not broken now
I'm stronger from all the pain

[Pre-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
The rivers that I crossed are gonna wash me clean
And the summit's that I'm on will help my blind eye see
Far on the opposite side, and though it's a slow climb

[Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
I'm rising up, my soul is on fire
Nothing's got a hold on me
I'm rising up, up from the rubble
I was drownin', but now I'm free
My chains are broken, I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was
I'm rising up from the dust

[Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
Rising up (I'm rising up)
I'm rising up, I'm rising up
Rising up (I'm rising up)
[Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
I'm rising up, my soul is on fire (Soul is on fire)
Nothing's got a hold on me (Hold on me)
I'm rising up, up from the rubble
I was drownin', but now I'm free
My chains are broken, I am a better man
I found my way to the promised land
I'm not who I was (Oh no)
I'm rising up from the dust

[Post-Chorus: Yahosh Bonner]
Rising up (I'm rising up)
I'm rising up, I'm rising up
Rising up (Mm-mmm)
I'm rising up from the dust
