Been down on your knees, been ripped at the seams inside
Been standing in the shadows like somebody turned off the light
Oh before it breaks, time again, are you putting it all back together?
Do you clean the cuts and stitch them up and keep carrying on?
This is for My People
Falling down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
We keep on rising from the gutter
Through the fire
Oh don't' stop fighting for it
We keep on rising when we're
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for My People
Do you deal with the pain or throw it all away?
Let em' talk, or make em' pay?
Do you see the blue sky through the grey?
Oh I, I have crumbled and I have tumbled
And I have broken all I had to break but
I'm not the only one, you're not the only one
This is for My People
Falling down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
We keep on rising from the gutter
Through the fire
Oh don't' stop fighting for it
We keep on rising when we're
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for my people
There's a fire burning brighter in our eyes tonight
I can feel us running closer to the finishing line
We're the fighter on our knees, when the punches come, they come
And we turn them around and we,
Go down swinging hard, we keep on swinging hard
And our beating hearts won't stop til' it's over
I'm not the only one, you're not the only one
This is for My People
This is for my people
Falling down, coming back stronger
We keep on rising from the gutter
Through the fire
Oh don't' stop fighting for it
We keep on rising when we're
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for my people
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for my people.
The down and outs, standing up taller
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for my people.
