Zahara – Rise Again Lyrics

African

hey 6x
awum'bizon'thola

I was born to fight
too many choices, wrong or right
I've made many mistakes
but i believe in life

I was born to fight
too many choices wrong or right
I've made many mistakes
but i believe in life.

I will rise again,
(rise again)
i'll rise again
(rise again)
i'll rise again
(sizo phumelela)

Order chooses me
A women knows been through it all
A women knows whos been at them
but i believe in life

Im falling, but i'll rise again
bcause iam victorious

About This Song

"Rise Again" is a deeply personal anthem of resilience that showcases Zahara's ability to transform struggle into spiritual triumph through her distinctive Afro-soul sound. The song explores themes of perseverance through adversity, self-forgiveness, and the particular strength of women who have endured hardship, with lyrics that acknowledge past mistakes while affirming an unshakeable belief in life's possibilities. Zahara's emotive vocals, sung in both English and isiXhosa, create an intimate yet universal message of empowerment, while the African musical elements ground the song in cultural authenticity. The repetitive, mantra-like chorus "I will rise again" becomes both a personal declaration and a communal call to resilience, reflecting the artist's own journey and establishing her as a voice for those seeking hope amid struggle. This track exemplifies Zahara's gift for creating music that feels both deeply personal and broadly inspirational, cementing her place as one of South Africa's most compelling contemporary artists.
