Still I Rise

When the lights go out and the road feels long  
I’ve been walking with a heart half gone  
But there’s a voice inside that won’t let me break  
Says every crack is a mark you’ve made  
I rise, even when I fall  
Through every shadow, I still stand tall  
These scars are proof I made it through  
I'm not done, I’m breaking through  
Every setback taught me how to bend  
Not to break, just to start again  
I’ve been bruised, but I’ve never been beat  
Now I dance with fire beneath my feet  
I rise, even when I fall  
Through every shadow, I still stand tall  
These scars are proof I made it through  
I'm not done, I’m breaking through  
One step at a time, I climb  
Leaving all the doubt behind  
Stronger than I used to be  
Now I know what lives in me  
I rise, even when I fall  
Through every shadow, I still stand tall  
These scars are proof I made it through  
I'm not done, I’m breaking through  
Yeah, I’m breaking through  
(And I rise...)
