Lyrics:
Verse 1
There are days I tremble like wind in the leaves,
There are nights I move like a ship through the seas.
But I wake with the sun and I stand in this skin,
With a breath, with a will, with the strength deep within.
(Expand for More…)
Verse 2
Still I rise, though my steps may be slow,
Still I shine, though the fire’s down low.
I am more than the name in the chart or the scan—
I am story and soul, I am woman or man.
But I’m learning new rhythms, I’m healing in part—
There’s a dance in the silence, there’s a beat in the heart.
Verse 3
Still I rise, though the world may not see,
Still I bloom, in the roots under me.
I am more than decline, more than tremor or test—
I am choosing to show up, and giving my best.
I’m not here for pity, I’m not here for praise—
I’m here for this hour, this breath, these days.
Bridge
If you walk beside me, walk steady and kind.
If you care from afar, keep my hope in your mind.
I’m not just enduring—I’m making a way.
This is my season. This is my day.
Final Chorus
Still I rise, and I rise once again,
With my feet on the earth and my soul in the wind.
Though the pace may be slower, the fire still burns—
I’m a system in healing. I’m a life that returns.
Still I rise… Still I rise… Still I rise…
