[Pre-Chorus]
I'm goin' through it, yeah
I know you see the tragic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
I can't break down now
I can't take that now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can't break down now
I can't take that (I can't take that)

[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all

[Verse]
There's nothin' you can do to me that hasn't been done
Not bulletproof, shouldn't have to run from a gun
River of tears ran dry, let 'em run
No game that you can play with me, I ain't won

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm goin' through it, yeah
I know you see the tragic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
I can't break down now
I can't take that now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can't break down now
I can't take that (I can't take that)
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all

[Bridge]
I managed to survive
Freedom's what you choose to do with what's been done to you
No one can hurt you now unless you want them to
No one can hurt you now unless you love 'em too
Unless you love 'em too

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm going through it
Yeah, I know you see the tragic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
I can't break down now
I can't take that (I can't take that)
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all
