A snippet of the song was played during a special fan event in Los Angeles on 16 September 2015.
During a track-by-track interview on Twitter, she said that it’s one of the most important tracks on the album, because it’s an introduction to “what I’ve been spending the past two years experiencing, feeling and going through”.
Lyrics of Revival
I dive into the future
But I'm blinded by the sun
I'm reborn in every moment
So who knows what I'll become
I feel like I've awakened lately
The chains around me are finally breaking
I've been under self-restoration
I'm becoming my own salvation
Showing up, no more hiding, hiding
The light inside me is bursting, shining
It's my, my, my time to butterfly
What I've learned is so vital
More than just survival
This is my revival
This is a revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
I'll walk through the fire
I'll begin again
I'll burn through my skin
'Cause I, 'cause I wanna feel it
Reaching for the truth
Not afraid to lose
What shattered through me like a rifle (rifle)
Was a revival, revival
I admit, it's been painful, painful
But I'll be honest, I'm grateful, grateful
It's my, my, my time to realize
What I've learned is so vital
More than just survival
This is my revival
This is a revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
This won't take too long, you'll see
I'm just tryna get to me, ooh
What shattered through me like a rifle (rifle)
Was a revival, revival
What I've learned is so vital
More than just survival
This is my revival
This is a revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Revival
What I've learned is so vital
More than just survival
This is my revival
This is a revival
