about

Original studio version appears on the 2012 album "The Ghost of John Henry"

lyrics

This will be the death of me
And what will I, what will I leave behind?
Will they sing my name
After they lay me in the sand
There won’t be no victory
For this heart that beats, and hands that bleed
What more can they take
Than I gave with this hammer in my hand?

‘Cause maybe I was born
For such a time as this
Maybe I was born
So this moment could be written

You’re wrapped in chains and told you’re free
By men with force or men who pay
But I’m through selling me
And if I fall, then at least I made a stand

Maybe I was born
For such a time as this
Maybe I was born
So this moment could be written

I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise

Maybe I was born
For such a time as this
Maybe I was born
So this moment could be written
