Rise Again
Jack Taylor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i was knocked out
i was biten down, layin' on the ground
in a dark place, just a lost case, i can see your face
but i know that i am going, to the place where i belong
i am only getting stronger
i'll be rising from the ground (ooh)
i will rise again
i will rise again

(oh) i will rise again
i will rise aga-a-ain
(ooho)
i will wake up, from a dark night and open up our eyes
tell myself "why should i loose faith"
and my heart rise
but i know that i am going, to the place where i belong
i am only getting stronger
i'll be rising from the ground
cause i'll go all way
i will rise again
i will rise again
(oh) i will rise again
i will rise aga-a-ain (ooh)
i will rise again
i will rise again (ohoh - yeah)

i will rise again
i will rise again (ohoho)
