I see the brevity of each fleeting day No longer chained to the sadness, I used to obey I refuse to believe the lies they've spoken Breaking through barriers that once left me broken They said I'd never reach the end of this line But I'll prove them wrong, darling, I'll redefine Ah, I will just watch me, just watch me climb! My mother's voice still echoes in my ears Be brave, my child, and conquer your fears This is my race, for her and for me With faith as my guide, I'll run endlessly Through every step, I feel her light It's my strength, my purpose, my fight Oh, I'll rise just watch me rise tonight! I'll make my day shine, brighter than the Sun When all seems lost, I'll still be the one To light up the dark, to carry my flame My mother believed, and I'll do the same Though the world may doubt, I know I'm free To reach the heights that were promised to me Oh, I'll go on, you'll see I'll go on! Stop there, they said, you've gone too far! But I've got the will, I know who we are Why does it work for them but not for me? I'll rewrite the rules, I'll change destiny No more sitting still, no more waiting around I'll stand my ground, let my strength resound I'll make my day shine, a beacon so bright A testimony to hope in the darkest night For every no, I'll carve my way Through doubt and fear, I'll seize the day My mother's faith is my sacred creed And I'll be everything she believed I'd be Oh, I'll rise, you'll see I'll rise! This is not my end, it's where I begin A relentless spirit determined to win Ah, I'll shine brighter than they thought I could Proving the world wrong, just as I should For I know, oh, I know, I'm destined to succeed
