[Verse 1]
Dreaming, in a way that was only built for seeming
That a day would come and you would stand, beaming
Open arms in a way that I would still see
Gleam, in your eyes
Disguised in a lie
Open mind 'til I rise
[Verse 2]
Thinking, in a mind that was always built for shrinking
Down to a size that means sinking
In a pond too small to catch the drink and the wink in your eyes
Disguised in a lie
Open mind 'til I rise
[Bridge]
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
[Chorus]
In my heart, I can see
In my mind, what can be
Look through my eyes
I'm seeing me
With no disguise
My life agrees
You can't see me
[Verse 3]
Wanting, for the grey and the web you've woven, is still daunting
Dark in a way that lеaves your glow haunting
Twisted arms that've grown around mе
I still see the taunt in your eyes
[Instrumental interlude]
[Chorus]
In my heart, I can see
In my mind, what can be
Look through my eyes
I'm seeing me
With no disguise
My life agrees
You can't see me
[Verse 4]
Waking to a day and a house that's waiting for breaking
Bright in a way that leaves my soul quaking
In a room with walls that fall and I'm staking claim
To the eyes that can see
To the sky when I rise
What can be
What if I
Could see me
But through my eyes
I'll rise
[Outro]
Rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Rise
I'll rise
