Came up slow, had to learn that way

Took some hits but I’m still right here

Now they watch every move I play

Told ‘em once, now it’s all so clear

Every fall, I just stand up tall

Took my time, now the road is mine

Had my doubts but I shook ‘em off

Never break when I cross that line

Oh, I rise, every time they call

Ain’t no weight that could pull me low

Oh, I rise, standing through it all

If they trip, I just let it go

I will stand tall

rise above the wall

like dominoes they fall

and i'll laugh above it all

they cannot stop me

will not drop me

try to topple me

berate my philosophy

but I will not let them take me down

I will be the one to wear the crown

through my strength of character

strength of will

I'll be the measure for myself...

but i'll carry you with me

how far will you go with me?

but i'll carry you with me

try to topple me

berate my philosophy

but I will not let them take me down

I will be the one to wear the crown

through my strength of character

strength of will

I'll be the measure for myself...

but i'll carry you with me

how far will you go with me?

how far can we take each other

can we support one another

i'll never let you go....
