Lyrics
[Intro]
[melodic humming]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
From the bottom to the top, yeah
[Verse]
Born in the struggle, where the light seemed dim,
Mama working doubles just to make the rent,
Hand-me-down dreams in a world so grim,
But my heart kept beating, kept me innocent.
On the corner where the stories never end,
Where hope is just a whisper in the wind,
I held tight to my vision, through the thick and thin,
Turned the pain into strength, let the fight begin.
[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, "You’ll never make it out this place,"
But I kept the faith, I kept the faith,
With every step, I found my pace,
Now look at me, now look at me,
[Chorus]
I rise above, from the ashes to the sky,
No more tears, no more lies,
I found my wings, now watch me fly,
I rise above, I rise above.
[instrumental solo]
[Verse]
Streetlights flicker, dreams deferred,
Echoes of the past, in every word,
But I carved a path, through the unheard,
With a voice that soared, with a heart that stirred.
From the shadows of the city, to the bright limelight,
I broke through the chains, to the other side,
Now I stand tall, in the glory of my life,
Every battle fought, was worth the fight.
[Pre-Chorus]
They told me, "You’ll never make it out this place,"
But I kept the faith, I kept the faith,
With every step, I found my pace,
Now look at me, now look at me,
[Chorus]
I rise above, from the ashes to the sky,
No more tears, no more lies,
I found my wings, now watch me fly,
I rise above, I rise above.
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
From the bottom to the top, yeah
Now I stand, in the light,
With my head held high,
From the struggle, I found my might,
I rise above, I rise above.
[Outro guitar]
