Bruised, beaten, scarred, defeated But my heart's beating Lost, left behind, but I've got time My life is still mine 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me Like a phoenix, I rise From the ashes, take flight I've been tested, been tried I'm a phoenix, I rise Knock me down I get up, I hold my head up Cut me deep Might shake me, but they can't break me 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me Like a phoenix, I rise From the ashes, take flight I've been tested, been tried I'm a phoenix, I rise 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me 'Cause nothing's gonna take me down Nothing's gonna break my crown As long as I can breathe Nothing's gonna stop me Like a phoenix, I rise From the ashes, take flight I've been tested, been tried I'm a phoenix, I rise
