I Rise Again

(verse one)  
[Soft cracked vocal A3–C4 • Distant piano]  
I’ve been walkin’ my own road, steady pace and steady mind,  
People talkin’ from the sidelines like they know what’s on my time.  
I’m not here for their approval, I won’t bend just to please,  
If you’re not here to lift me higher, then keep your distance—let me breathe.  

(pre‑chorus)  
[Light guitar • Breath-heavy vocal]  
Take that petty talk and send it down the line,  
I’m not entertainin’ drama just to make somebody feel fine.  
If you’re not here to elevate, appreciate, or stay,  
Then deuces—step aside, I’m not beggin’ you today.  

(chorus)  
[Stronger vocal D4–F5 • Subtle choir • Minimal bass]  
I don’t give a damn about the talk around town,  
I’ve been knocked down before, but I don’t stay down.  
Life keeps hittin’ the same, so I’m ready for the hurt—
Yeah, life’s like court: hope for the best, expect the worst.  


(verse two)  
[Cracked vocal • Guitar + piano blend]  
I’ve been bruised, I’ve been tested, but I rise like morning sun,  
Got a backbone built from battles, and I don’t fold for anyone.  
Demons in my veins whisperin’ my name,  
Needle, smoke, drink—caught inside the game.  
Cages built from scars carved deep in my skin,  
But I rise again, I refuse to give in.  

(pre‑chorus)  
[Low choir hum • Emotional grit]  
Homeless nights, storms in my head,  
Bipolar waves, depression spread.  
But I fight temptation, I won’t let go—  
My scars are proof of what I know.  

(chorus)  
[Choir grows • Drum pulse • Vocal cracks F5]  
I’m strong as hell, even when I fall,  
Ten times down, I still stand tall.  
Through heartbreak, through the fight,  
Ice and fire—I burn through the night.  



(bridge)  
[Whispered harmonies • Piano only]  
Chains may rattle but they can’t define  
The fire in my spirit, the steel in my spine.  
I’ve walked through hell, I’ve closed that door,  
I’m not who I was—I’m so much more.  



(final chorus)  
[Full cinematic choir • Bass swell • Drums widen • F5 sustained]  
I don’t give a damn about the talk around town,  
I’ve been knocked down before, but I don’t stay down.  
Life keeps hittin’ the same, but I rise from the dirt—  
Hope for the best, expect the worst—still I know my worth.  

(outro)  
[Grand swell • Choir bloom • Emotional crack]  
Cold as steel, fierce as fire,  
Survival’s my anthem—my soul’s empire.  
Strong as hell, I rise again—  
My voice is proof: I always win.
