Katy Perry
Rise (Acoustic Version)
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
I know it, I know it
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say...
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
You know it, you know it
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

[Chorus]
'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
No mistake, no accident
Final nail is in; think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Still rise
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
