I'll rise again
Ain't no power left
to tie me down
Yes, I'll rise again
Death can't keep me in the ground
Drive the nails in my head
Laugh at me where you stand
Go ahead and say it isn't me
The day will come when you will see
Cause I'll rise, I'll rise again
Ain't no power that can drive
me down
I'll rise again, I'll rise again
And you can keep me if you want
Oh, go ahead
and mock my name
My love for you is still the same
Go ahead and bury me
But very soon I will be free
Cause I'll rise, I'll rise again
Ain't no power,
no power to tie me down
I'll rise, I'll rise again
Go ahead, say I'm dead and gone
But you will see that you were wrong
Go ahead, try to hide the sun
But all will see that I am the one
Cause I'll come, I'll come again
Ain't no other, no, no, no,
other to keep me back
Yes, I'll come, I'll come again
Yes, I'll come to take my people back
Oh, yes I'll rise again
Ain't no power,
no power can turn me down
Yes I'll rise again
Death can't keep me
in the ground
Death can't keep me in ground
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise again
you
