Rise - Maria Idol & Abdul Idol

I won’t just survive

Oh, you will see me thrive

Can’t write my story

I’m beyond the archetype

Oh, ye of so little faith

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

Victory is in my veins

I know it, I know it

And I will not negotiate

I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it

I will transform

When, when the fire’s at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They’re whispering, “You’re out of time,”

But still I rise

I must stay conscious

Through the madness and chaos

So I call on my angels

They say

Oh, ye of so little faith

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

Victory is in my veins

You know it, you know it

And you will not negotiate

Just fight it, just fight it

We’ll transformed

When, when the fire’s at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They’re whispering, “You’re out of time,”

But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final nail is in

Think again, don’t be surprised

I will still rise

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

Just fight it, just fight it, just fight it

Don’t be surprised, I will still rise

(when the fire’s at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They’re whispering, “You’re out of time,”)

Don’t be surprised, I will still rise

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it

I know it, I know it

Just fight it, just fight it

Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
