Lyrics
I'm staring in the mirror
I am observing myself in the mirror.
Didn't even recognize the side of my face
I didn't recognize one side of my face.
Of my face
Repetition for emphasis.
Cause the person looking back at me
The reflection doesn't resemble who I was yesterday.
Wasn't the same as he was yesterday
Repetition for emphasis.
Yesterday
Reinforces the idea of a change from yesterday.
Cause he's taller now
The changed person is taller and more empowered.
He can taste the sky
Metaphorical expression of personal growth.
Getting stronger now
Gaining strength and overcoming challenges.
Leaving fear behind
Leaving fear behind, embracing confidence.
I'm knocked to the bottom but I I I
Despite being knocked down, I persist.
I get up again
Repetition: I rise again after setbacks.
I get up again
Emphasis on resilience and determination.
I'm rocked to the limit but I I I
Although challenged, I persist.
I get up again
Repeating the theme of rising after difficulties.
I get up again
Stressing the resilience and ability to overcome.
Hey hey hey hey now
Repetition for emphasis: I rise again despite challenges.
Hey hey hey hey now
-Hey hey hey I, I, I
-I get up again
-I get up again
-Treading water swimming harder breaking the surfaces is all
Struggling but pushing harder to break through challenges.
I got left I got left
Emphasizing what is left after overcoming obstacles.
And I'm trying praying for guidance
Seeking guidance through prayer and effort.
But everything is up on the shelf the shelf
Obstacles are present but not hindering progress.
Diving deeper now
Deepening the struggle but holding on.
And he holds his breath
Metaphorically holding breath, facing challenges.
Sometimes all his doubt
Doubt is present, but it strengthens the person.
Makes him find his strength
Finding strength through overcoming doubt.
I'm knocked to the bottom but I I I
Repetition: Despite being knocked down, I persist and rise.
I get up again
-I get up again
-I'm rocked to the limit but I I I
-I get up again
-I get up again
-Hey hey hey hey now
Reiteration of rising above challenges and obstacles.
Hey hey hey hey now
-Hey hey hey I, I, I
-I get up again
-I get up again
-You can't break me
Assertion of invincibility against external forces.
You can't break me
-You can't break me down
-Down
-Down
-Down
-Down
Repetition: I rise again, you can't break me down.
I'm knocked to the bottom but I I I
-I get up again
-I get up again
-I'm rocked to the limit but I I I
-I get up again
-I get up again
-Hey hey hey hey now
Reaffirming resilience against attempts to break the person.
Hey hey hey hey now
-Hey hey hey I, I, I
-I get up again
-I get up again (You can't break me)
-You can't break me
Final assertion of rising again despite attempts to break.
I get up again
-I get up again
