Jen Cass: Music
Rise
(Jen Cass)
June, 2010
Jen Cass
You can close down every road
You can barricade my soul
Tied in chains, what remains
You can never conquer
Turn the key, slam the cell door
I am free
Oh…I will rise
You can tell me white is black
Say my God has turned his back
But right and wrong don’t belong
To those who hold the power
Against the lies, well, the truth always survives
Oh…I will rise
Chorus:
I will rise I will rise
Though you witnessed my demise
Oh…I will rise
Roll the stone away again
No, you can’t keep my spirit in
Oh…I will rise
You can take away my eyes
Tear the sun down from the sky
In days so dark that the night stars
Feel like an explosion
Out of ash
Through the acrid air I fly
Oh…I will rise
Repeat Chorus
