Rise

The history you wrote with your sour and tales of lies
You may pace me in the sheer mud
But I 'll Rise .....

My boldness upsets you ?
Still my worries caused you misery ?
Because i held my head so high
Pumping in my heart

Like pumpkin and like sun
With belief of tides
Just like the hopes leap high
I 'll Rise ......

Curious eyes that wanted to see me broken , bowed head and lowered eyes
Spirits falling down like teardrops and soulful cries ?
Still I 'll Rise ......

You pumped me with your words,
You rip me with your eyes,
Often killed by your hate-fullness,
But like a breeze
I 'll Rise ......

Out of the shame of being raped, chained and often drugged for sex
I 'll Rise .....
From the past that was grounded by pain
I 'll Rise ......
Escaping the nights of fright and doubts
I 'll Rise .....
Like a dream of a morn
I 'll Rise ......
