i am at war with my absent mind
fighting for peace and it's hard to find
maybe tomorrow will be okay
out of the wreck i rise today

it's easier to be medicated
reality is i'm uneducated
black or it's white and i'll call it gray
out of the wreck i rise today

fighting political ignorance
sick of this religious impotence
careful i don't put it on display
out of the wreck i rise today

i want your body- i want your legs
i want your blood running through my veins
i want you to breathe every word i say
i refuse to live this way

i want to love the people you came to save
take possession of the love you gave
i want to believe cause i know someday
out of this world you're taking me

i am aware that im not alone
fighting a war a little close to home
maybe tomorrow will be okay
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise
