I will rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I will rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
Still I Rise
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise and i will rise!!!
