I Will Rise
"I will rise"
I will rise, "boldly I
say",
You that study my
stars and say,
-it will but dim
Let me wake from my
dream
Like Joseph, soon I'll
rule
don't take me for fool
I'll rise and see my
glory even if I've no
eyes
Like Barthlomew I will
see with surprise
Don't be afraid of
selling me to the
Ishmeelites
Do it, because its just a
lift to my heights
I will rise, even if
potiphar's wife comes
my way
I know she is a hole on
my way
She knows I'm at the
corner to my throne
"I'll rise", to you is just
a mere tone
My brothers, to me, this
is not a sorrow
Because you will bow
for me tomorrow.
