lyrics

I do not want to own you, my freedom ends where yours begin
I got to break the emptiness from you, i feel i could bright the world lighting
The two of us combined could set it on fire.

Just like flowers and sun, with the certainty of high tides,
Just like hopes soaring high, still, i’ll go and rise.
Did you really want to see me unfolded and broken?
Bowed head and crying eyes?
Shoulders falling down like a raindrop weakened by my soulless cries?
Does my sensitivity offend you?
Don’t you take it awfully hard?
Cause i laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Cause i build one diggin’ my own backyard.
You may shot me with your sharp words,
You may cut me with your greed in your eyes,
You may kill me with your heart filled with hatred,
But still, i’ll rise like lion king, i own this kingdom.

Out of the story of history’s shame that you told them to.
I still rise up from a past that’s rooted in pain and broken with lies.
I still choose to rise

Does my reckless youngness upset you ?
Does it come as a surprise that you hate me because I wasn't like you?
That I live like I’ve got diamonds and golds in the eyes and envied by you?
I’m a deep wide ocean, leaping and wide together with tides.
Welling and swelling
I bear and bond with the tide.
With the fucking tide.
Did you really want to see me unfolded and broken?
Bowed head and crying eyes?
Shoulders falling down like a raindrop weakened by my soulless cries?
Does my sensitivity offend you?
Don’t you take it awfully hard?
Cause i laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Cause i build one diggin’ my own backyard
You may shot me with your sharp words,
You may cut me with your greed in your eyes,
You may kill me with your heart filled with hatred,
But still, i’ll rise like lion king, i own this kingdom.

I still choose to rise
Bringing the gifts that myself have given,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave that you'll wish to be.
