pre-chorus
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform (I will transform)
chorus
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling (circling)
They're whispering (whispering)
"You're out of time," but still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in (nail is in)
Think again (think again)
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
pre-chorus
"Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed" (and be transformed)
chorus
'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling (circling)
They're whispering (whispering)
"You're out of time," but still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in (nail is in)
Think again (think again)
Don't be surprised, I will still rise (rise)
outro
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Oh-oh-oh, you know it, you know it
Oh-oh-oh, just fight it, just fight it
Oh-oh-oh, don't be surprised, I will still rise
