i shall rise

"as i walk the desert sands

through the flames of burning lands

my feet are torn they're torn to strands

i will not thirst

as i cross the raging seas

waves are crashing over me

they drag me down they drag me down

i will not drown

they'll know my name

after the storms are passing through

they'll know my name

when they've forgotten all about you…

and i shall rise

oh well rise again and again

i shall rise

oh well rise again and again"
