No one heard me when I made no sound
I didn't need the light to find my way
I just kept moving through the dark each day
Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd
Just real, just deep, just mine to keep
I
I rise slow, but I rise sure
Every scar I carry made me more
I rise slow, but I rise strong
Took the time it took, now I belong
I rise slow
I rise slow
They wanted fire, I gave them roots
They wanted shortcuts, I gave them truths
I fell more times than I care to say
But every fall just showed me where to stay
Not fast, not loud, not for the crowd
Just real, just deep, just mine to keep
I rise
I rise slow, but I rise sure
Every scar I carry made me more
I rise slow, but I rise strong
Took the time it took, now I belong
I rise slow
I rise slow
The ones who rise fast
Fall the same way
The ones who rise slow
Are built to stay
I rise slow, but I rise sure
Every scar I carry made me more
I rise slow, but I rise strong
Took the time it took, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
I rise slow, it's time I choose
I rise slow, still here
