[Verse 1]
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

[Break]


[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Interlude]
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....
