(Us kids don’t know what we’re talking about, that we’re too young to understand)
(How the government works)
(We call BS)
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 now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all
There’s nothing you can do to me that hasn’t been done
Not bullet-proof, 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
‘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 now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all
I managed to survive
Freedom’s not your choice to do 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 them too
Unless you love them too
‘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 rise, I rise
I rise up above it, up above it
I rise, I rise
I rise up above it all
(Yeah, we’re gonna rise up, yeah, we’re gonna rise up)
(Yeah, we’re gonna get up, yeah, we’re gonna get up)
(Yeah, we’re gonna get up)
Yes, we can, we can get it together
We’ll rise up, we can get it together
(Yeah, we’re gonna rise up, yeah, we’re gonna rise up)
(Yeah, we’re gonna get up, yeah, we’re gonna get up)
(Yeah, we’re gonna get up)
Yes, we can, we can get it together
We’ll rise up, we can get it together
