lionel faretein – with the certainty of tides lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
does my s-ssiness upset you?
why are you beset with gloom?
‘cause i walk like i’ve got oil wells
pumping in my living room
[chorus]
just like moons and like suns
with the certainty of tides
just like hopes springing high
still i’ll rise
[verse 3]
did you want to see me broken?
bowed head and lowered eyes?
shoulders falling down like teardrops
weakened by my soulful cries?
[verse 4]
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
[chorus]
just like moons and like suns
with the certainty of tides
just like hopes springing high
still i’ll rise
[post-chorus]
you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
you may k!ll me with your hatefulness
but still, like air, i’ll rise
[outro]
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
