Song language: English
With the Certainty of Tides |
| You may write me down in history |
| With your bitter, twisted lies |
| You may trod me in the very dirt |
| But still, like dust, I’ll rise |
| Does my sassiness upset you? |
| Why are you beset with gloom? |
| ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells |
| Pumping in my living room |
| Just like moons and like suns |
| With the certainty of tides |
| Just like hopes springing high |
| Still I’ll rise |
| Did you want to see me broken? |
| Bowed head and lowered eyes? |
| Shoulders falling down like teardrops |
| Weakened by my soulful cries? |
| Does my haughtiness offend you? |
| Don’t you take it awful hard |
| ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines |
| Diggin' in my own backyard |
| Just like moons and like suns |
| With the certainty of tides |
| Just like hopes springing high |
| Still I’ll rise |
| You may shoot me with your words |
| You may cut me with your eyes |
| You may kill me with your hatefulness |
| But still, like air, I’ll rise |
| Out of the huts of history’s shame |
| I rise |
| Up from a past that’s rooted in pain |
| I rise |
| I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide |
| Welling and swelling I bear in the tide |
| Leaving behind nights of terror and fear |
| I rise |
