Still I Rise Though I have been wounded; aching heart, full of pain, Still I rise yes, still I rise. Jus' like a budding rose, my bloom is nourished by rain, Still I rise yes, still I rise. Haven't time to wonder why, though fearful I strive, Still I rise yes, still I rise. My pray'r and faith uphold me 'til my courage arrives, Still I rise yes, still I rise. Still I rise as an eagle, soaring above eve'ry fear. With each day I succeed, I grow strong an' believe That it's all within my reach, I'm reaching for the skies, Bolstered by courage, yes, still I rise. Yes, it's all within my reach; I'm reaching for the skies. Yes, still I rise. Gentle as a woman; tender sweet are my sighs. Still I rise yes, still I rise. Strength is in my tears and healing rains in my cries. Still I rise yes, still I rise. Plunging depths of anguish, I determine to strive. Still I rise yes, still I rise. My pray'r and faith uphold me 'til my courage arrives, Still I rise yes, still I rise. Though you see me slump with heartache; Heart so heavy that it breaks. Be not deceived I fly on birds' wings, rising sun, its healing rays. Look at me, you see a woman; Gentle as a butterfly. But don't you think, not for one moment, that I'm not strong because I cry. Yes, still I rise as an eagle, soaring above eve 'ry fear. With each day I succeed, I grow strong an' believe That it's all within my reach, I'm reaching for the skies, Bolstered by courage, yes, still I rise. Yes, it's all within my reach; I'm reaching for the skies. Yes, still I rise. By pray'r and faith, still I rise, Yes, Still l rise as an eagle, soaring above eve'ry fear. With each day I succeed, I grow strong an' believe That it's all within my reach, I'm reaching for the skies, Bolstered by courage, yes, still I rise. Yes, it's all within my reach; I'm reaching for the skies. Yes, still l rise! Soon Ah Will be Done Chorus: Soon ah will be don' A-1vvid de troubles ob de wort', Goin' home to live wid God.
