since day one
she has already had everything
she needs within herself
she has already had everything
she needs within herself
it is the world that
convinced her she did not
convinced her she did not
just like moons and like suns,
with the certainty of tides
just like hopes springing high,
still, I will rise
with the certainty of tides
just like hopes springing high,
still, I will rise
- maya angelou, still I rise
