Rise (american Idol Performance) Lyrics - Thaddeus Johnson

I won't just survive 

Oh, you will see me thrive 

Can't write my story 

I'm beyond the archetype 

I won't just conform 

No matter how you shake my core 

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh 

Oh, ye of so little faith 

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it 

Victory is in my veins 

I know it, I know it 

And I will not negotiate 

I'll fight it, I'll fight it 

I will transform 

When, when the fire's at my feet again 

And the vultures all start circling 

They're whispering, you're out of time 

But still, I rise 

This is no mistake, no accident 

When you think the final nail is in, think again 

Don't be surprised, I will still rise 

I must stay conscious 

Through the madness and chaos 

So I call on my angels 

They say 

Oh, ye of so little faith 

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it 

Victory is in your veins 

You know it, you know it 

And you will not negotiate 

Just fight it, just fight it 

And be transformed 

'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again 

And the vultures all start circling 

They're whispering, you're out of time 

But still, I rise 

This is no mistake, no accident 

When you think the final nail is in, think again 

Don't be surprised, I will still rise 

Don't doubt it, don't doubt 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

You know it, you know it 

Still rise 

Just fight it, just fight it 

Don't be surprised, I will still rise
