[Intro]
Up above it

[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
'Cause I'm goin' through it, yeah
I know you see the tragic in it
I can’t take that now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can't take that

[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it (Up above it)
Up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise (I rise, I rise)
I rise up above it, up above it
[Bridge]
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 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

[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all, all, all, all
I rise, I rise (I rise, I rise)
I rise up above it, up above it
Up above it all, all
I rise, I rise (I rise, I rise)
I rise up above it, up above it
