Lyrics
1. I came to myself, after all that I had was long gone, a life sadly wasted. Born to a king, an heir of royalty, I lived like a beggar, starved and unclean. My heart was broken, my body was weak but my will was determined so I cried from my knees...
Ch: I can't stay here anymore, I will Arise. I was never meant to lose, I'll win the fight. I have suffered, I have fallen but I will survive. By the grace of GOD I will Arise.
2: Dignity lost, confidence crushed. A spirit once vibrant is like ashes and dust. A father so patient standing so strong is watching and waiting for you to come home. You heart may be broken, your spirit may be weak but will to win even if you have to cry from your knees.....
Ch: I can't stay here anymore, I will Arise. I was never meant to lose, I'll win the fight. I have suffered, I have fallen but I will survive. By the grace of GOD I will Arise.
Bridge: I will be forgiven, I'll be revived, I'll be restored, I will Arise
Ch: I can't stay here anymore, I will Arise. I was never meant to lose, I'll win this fight. I have suffered, I have fallen but I will survive. By the grace of GOD I will Arise.
By the grace of GOD, I will arise....
I will Arise...
