[Outro: Dr. Maya
Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise
Up from a that's rooted in pain, I rise
A black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise
Into a daybreak miraculously clear, I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the hope and the dream of the slave And so naturally, I go rising.
