I'll Rise Songtext / Lyric


Ben Harper - I'll Rise Songtext


You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies

You may trod me down in the very dirt

And still like the dust I'll rise



Does my happiness upset you

Why are you best with gloom

Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well

Pumping in my living room



So you may you shoot me with your words

You may cut me with your eyes

And I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

Out of the shacks of history's shame

Up from a past rooted in pain

I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise






Now did you want to see me broken

Bowed head and lowered eyes

Shoulders fallen down like tear drops

Weakened by my soulful cries



Does my confidence upset you

Don't you take it awful hard

Cause I'll walk like I've got a diamond mine

Breakin' up in my front yard



So you may shoot me with your words

You may cut me with your eyes

And I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

Out of the shacks of history's shame

Up from a past rooted in pain

I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise



So you may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies

You may trod me down in the very dirt

And still like the dust I'll rise



Does my happiness upset you

Why are you best with gloom

Cause I laugh like I've got a gold mine

Diggin' up in my living room



You may shoot me with your words

You may cut me with your eyes

And I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

Out of the shacks of history's shame

Up from a past rooted in pain

I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise, yes I'll rise



So you may shoot me with your words

You may cut me with your eyes

And I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

Out of the shacks of history's shame

Up from a past rooted in pain

I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

I'm gonna rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise

I'll rise

I'll rise

I'll rise rise rise
