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. Adesitimi Taiwo.
