She came from nights where the moon knew her name,
Talkin' to the stars while she's carryin' pain.
Whole world said quit, she was fuelin' the flame,
Every scar on her heart got a story to claim.
Lost some people, lost herself, found grace,
Ran through storms with the rain on her face.
Built her wings from the pieces they broke,
Turned her tears into prayers and her prayers into hope.
Everybody got opinions from the side of the road,
But they never had to carry half the weight of her load.
She kept walkin' through the fire, never sold her soul,
Every chapter that she survived made her harder than gold.
Pre-Chorus
And when she finally saw
What she was made of all along,
The darkness couldn't hold her,
The night couldn't keep her gone.
Chorus
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
Watched her stand after a thousand nights.
Heaven saw the strength she couldn't recognize,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
Every broken piece came back alive.
What almost took her became her light,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
Verse 2
Now she's movin' different, got purpose in her walk,
A little less fear and a little more God.
Used to beg for answers, now she's trustin' the clock,
Knowin' every closed door wasn't really a loss.
They don't know the battles she was fightin' inside,
The nights she sat alone and had nobody to guide.
Still she kept believin' there was more to this life,
So she planted seeds while she was buried alive.
Funny how the pressure made a diamond appear,
Funny how the pain became the reason she's here.
Now she's buildin' dreams where there used to be fear,
And the voice that once doubted can't get in her ear.
Pre-Chorus
And when she finally saw
What she was made of all along,
The darkness couldn't hold her,
The night couldn't keep her gone.
Chorus
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
Watched her stand after a thousand nights.
Heaven saw the strength she couldn't recognize,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
Every broken piece came back alive.
What almost took her became her light,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
Bridge
Not every miracle arrives with a sign,
Sometimes it looks like survivin' one more night.
Sometimes faith is just one foot in front of the next,
When your heart's exhausted but you still choose your best.
Final Chorus
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
The heavens sang while she reclaimed her life.
All the roads she traveled finally aligned,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
She picked her head up and the angels cried,
Cause courage showed up right on time.
And somewhere above, with tears in their eyes,
She picked her head up and the angels cried.
