Lyrics

Some days are harder than others
But I pray for strength from my Heavenly Father
The world as we used to know it changed
People carry heavy hearts
Lord please shine Your light on us
And let love lead the way
As I say
Still I rise
In the midst of this pandemic
Lord I know I’m gonna manage
Still I rise
To my maker I’m indebted
Grateful I’m still on this planet
And then I peep outside of my window to discover
Families trying to reach out to their sisters and their brothers
The world as we used to know it changed
People carry heavy hearts
Lord please shine Your light on us
And let love lead the way
As I say
Still I rise
In the midst of this pandemic
Lord I know I’m gonna manage
Still I rise
To my maker I’m indebted
Grateful I’m still on this planet
In the midst of adversity, plaques and natural catastrophes I rise
Through evil man’s conspiracies and virtual insanities still I rise
With my head above the waters I wake up and grind
For my sons and daughters still I rise
Lord I’m grateful for the breath of life amidst this pandemic and strife still I rise
May your creation live to see brighter days and new horizons, fresh morning dew
And the African sun rise
Still I rise
Still I rise
In the midst of this pandemic
Lord I know I’m gonna manage
Still I rise
To my maker I’m indebted
Grateful I’m still on this planet
Still I rise
In the midst of this pandemic
Lord I know I’m gonna manage
Still I rise
To my maker I’m indebted
Grateful I’m still on this planet
