Battered by life
Words used to cut like a knife
Was stuck in your pain
Now there's no need to explain
You can't hold me down
Your idle threats don't work now
Fear it in my eyes
For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine
Fear of your voice
Held in the dark with no choice
Found strength of my own
Leaving you toxic, alone
You can't hold me down
Your idle threats don't work now
Fear it in my eyes
For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine
It’s gone on too long
Your misguided spell on me
Taking to the night
Running, changing
You won’t push back
I’ll win this fight
You can't hold me down
Your idle threats don't work now
Fear it in my eyes
For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine
