There's blood in my mouth but I'll just stand and smile
I've walked these lonely streets for miles
Well I've faced hard times but I'm still standing tall
I've climbed right back from every fall
You can't take what I say
Twist and turn it around
You can't keep a good man down
There's no use complaining on how I live my life
I've stood my ground both day and night
You can't take what I say
Twist and turn it around
You can't keep a good man down
I will rise, I will rise up
I will rise, I will rise up
You can't take what I say
Twist and turn it around
You can't keep a good man down
