[Verse 1]
I wore the cracks like a crown
Told myself, keep moving now
Cold hands, bruised knees, heavy days
Still I found a pulse in the haze
I was bent, but not gone
Counted every loss, then I walked on
Small flame in a glass-thin chest
Learning how to want more than rest
[Pre-Chorus]
And I heard it in my bones
A call to the unknown
If I fall, I fall awake
If I break, I break to change
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
Through the hurt and the night
I rise, I rise
And I find my light
Let it shake, let it shake
I was built from the ache
I rise, I rise
I am not what I was (not what I was)
[Verse 2]
Names they threw, I wore them down
Mud on my shoes, but I own this ground
Every scar kept score for me
Every tear turned a key
Now the mirror says my name
Not a shadow, not the same
I can feel the future breathe
Right here under my skin, in me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I heard it in my bones
A call to the unknown
If I fall, I fall awake
If I break, I break to change
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
Through the hurt and the night
I rise, I rise
And I find my light
Let it shake, let it shake
I was built from the ache
I rise, I rise
I am not what I was (not what I was)
[Bridge]
Take the weight, I won't run
I have become what I was
Every wound, every line
Turned to fire in my spine
Oh-oh, I can breathe again
Oh-oh, let it all begin
From the dust, from the fall
I am standing tall
[Final Chorus]
I rise, I rise
Through the hurt and the night
I rise, I rise
And I find my light
Let it shake, let it shake
I was built from the ache
I rise, I rise
I am not what I was (not what I was)
I rise, I rise
Watch me open the sky
I rise, I rise
And I won’t apologize
Let it shake, let it shake
I was built from the ache
I rise, I rise
I am not what I was (not what I was)
