Go ahead drive the nails in my hands

Laugh at me where you stand

Go ahead and say it isn't me

The day will come when you will see

'Cause I'll rise again

There ain't no power on earth can keep me down

Yes I'll rise again

Death can't keep me in the ground

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

'Cause I'll rise again

There ain't no power on earth can keep me down

Yes I'll rise again

Death can't keep me in the ground

Go ahead and say I'm dead and gone

But you will see that you were wrong

Go ahead try to hide the son

But all will see that I'm the one

'Cause I'll come again

There ain't no power on earth can keep me back

Yes I'll come again

There ain't no power on earth can keep me back

Yes I'll come again

I'll come to take my people back

I'll take back
