LYRICS

[2016 Summer Rio Olympics Anthem]

I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oooh

Oh, you have so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform

When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering "You're out of time"
But still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final end is near, think again
Don't be surprised,
I will still rise!

I must stay conscious
Through the menace and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say
Oh, you have so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering "You're out of time"
But still, I rise!
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final end is near, think again
Don't be surprised,
I will still rise

Don't doubt it, don't doubt
Oh oh, oh oh
You know it, you know it,
Still rise!
Just fight it, just fight it
Don't be surprised,
I will still rise!
