Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Shattered, but I'm not broken

Wounded, but time will heal

Heavy the load, the cross I bear

Lonely the road I trod, I dare


Shaken, but here I stand

Weary, Still I press on

Long are the nights, the tears I cry

Dark are the days, no sun in the sky, yes


Yet still I rise

Never to give up

Never to give in against all odds

Yet still I rise

High above the clouds

At times I feel low

Yet still I rise


Sometimes I'm troubled, but not in despair

Struggling, I make my way through

Trials, they come to make me strong

I must endure, I must hold on

Yet still I rise

Never to give up

Never to give in against all odds

Yet still I rise

High above the clouds

At times I feel low

Yet still I rise


Above all my problems

Above all my eyes can see

Knowing God is able to strengthen me

To strengthen me

Yet still I rise

Never to give up

Oh, Never to give in against all odds

Yet still I rise

High above the clouds 

At times I feel low 

Yet still I

I need to know which way to go

Yet still I

At times I feel low

Yet still I 

Oh Oh Oh I rise

Yet still I rise

Oh yes I do, yeah yeah
