I've been taught In the name of life What a thrill Like a steely knife It hit my face See it left without a trace Life's been short In the name of love Paid my bills Just to rise above secret hills There's been awful pain all through this race I've made it to a peaceful place I know I will make it again See my consciousness is bright and clear I'm standing tall and have no fear at all See me standing tall and have no fear at all Take away my pride I will rise again Though it seems so hard I know You will see me again Seasons come and go I will rise again Deep inside I know I'll be back again (3x)
