Still I Rise
Adams Yolanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wounded, but time will heal
Heavy the load, the cross I bear
Lonely the road I trod, I dare
Shaken, but here I stand
Weary, Still I press on
Long are the nights, the tears I cry
Dark are the days, no sun in the sky, yes
Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Never to give in against all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
At times I feel low
Yet still I rise
Sometimes I'm troubled, but not in despair
Struggling, I make my way through
Trials, they come to make me strong
I must endure, I must hold on
Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Never to give in against all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
At times I feel low
Yet still I rise
Above all my problems
Above all my eyes can see
Knowing God is able to strengthen me
To strengthen me
Yet still I rise
Never to give up
Oh, Never to give in against all odds
Yet still I rise
High above the clouds
At times I feel low
Yet still I
I need to know which way to go
Yet still I
At times I feel low
Yet still I
Oh Oh Oh I rise
Yet still I rise
Oh yes I do, yeah yeah

I played this song while pregnant and would sing it to my unborn son and now this is the only song he falls asleep to as an infant. God is amazing and my son is definitely a blessing sent from God after suffering from two miscarriages. God is so faithful.

I was living in Wv. I had just recently gone through a divorce, and I was depressed. I lost everything I had worked so hard for, my entire young life! I listened to this song everyday day all day! The Lord guided me through, using this song. That this beautiful sister sings so beautifully! Thank you Lord For All Your Blessings And She's One Of Them!

I have been listening to this song everyday, almost ALL day as I care for my elderly Mom who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. I quit my job and moved to another state to do this. This journey is not for the faint at heart. Most times I am overwhelmed, lonely, depressed, tired and discouraged. When I listen to this song it gives me peace, hope and strength to rise, press on and not give up. Ms. Adams sings this song from the depth of her soul of which I feel as I wipe the tears from my eyes. Thank you to God for your gift of song to reach those who are broken. 💔🙏
