[00:30.83]There's a time for your surrender
[00:32.27]A time to lay it down
[00:34.27]There's a time to come out swinging
[00:36.46]To get up on your feet and stand your ground
[00:39.07]You gotta know when to wait in silence
[00:40.94]On your knees with open hands
[00:43.32]You gotta know when to take up arms
[00:45.19]Cross the river and take the Promised Land
[00:50.42]I'm not going down
[00:55.55]I'm Rising up
[00:58.05]I'm gonna stand my ground
[01:04.30]And I won't give up
[01:05.17]
[01:19.83]Like a man who knows he's drowning
[01:21.83]Pulled down by the undertow
[01:23.96]You try to swim against the tide
[01:26.14]Weighed down by a heart of stone
[01:28.60]You gotta kick to keep on breathing
[01:30.83]You gotta push to stay alive
[01:33.14]Take the holy light we're given
[01:35.39]And hold it like a fire against the night
[01:39.77]
[01:40.33]I'm not going down
[01:45.08]I'm Rising up
[01:49.50]I'm gonna stand my ground
[01:54.13]And I won't give up
[01:55.28]
[02:21.67]It's not by might, and it's not by power,
[02:29.98]But by my spirit, says the Lord
[02:31.01]
[03:26.26]I'm not going down
[03:34.59]I'm Rising up
[03:36.21]I'm gonna stand my ground
[03:42.78]And I won't give up
[03:45.46]Like a flower beneath the concrete
[03:56.49]Pushing up under the weight
[03:57.99]To put a crack in the back of the pavement
[04:00.36]And break through into the light of day
