I
Go ahead drive the nails in my hands
and let that be where you stand.
Go ahead and say it isn’t me
but very soon you will see.
II
Go ahead and mock my name
my love for you is still the same.
Go ahead and bury me
but very soon I will be free.
III
Go ahead say I’m dead and gone
but you will see you were wrong.
Go ahead and try to hid the sun
but you will see that I’m the one.
chorus
Cause I’ll rise again
Ain’t no power on earth can tie me down.
Cause I’ll rise again
Death can’t keep me in the ground.
2nd Chorus
Cause I’ll come again
ain’t no power on earth can tie me down.
Yes I’ll come again
Come to take my people back.
