[Intro]
I kept the dust beneath my shoes
Kept every scar I couldn't lose
But something in the silence said
The story isn't over yet
[Verse 1]
I was counting every setback
Like a debt I had to pay
With a pocket full of questions
And a door that wouldn't break
Then I heard my own heartbeat
Under everything that hurt
Not a promise that it'd be easy
Just a reason to go first
[Pre-Chorus]
If the ground gives way
I'll build from the pieces
If the night stays long
I'll keep reaching
[Chorus]
I rise again, I rise again
From every fall, from every end
The fire's still alive in me
I am more than what has buried me
I rise again, I rise again
With open hands and a stronger chest
Let the whole world see me stand
I was broken, not defeated in the end
[Verse 2]
I remember all the faces
That believed when I went cold
Every word they left beside me
Turned to iron in my soul
Now the road is asking something
That I never gave before
Not perfection, not a clean start
Just the courage to want more
[Pre-Chorus]
If the ground gives way
I'll build from the pieces
If the night stays long
I'll keep reaching
[Chorus]
I rise again, I rise again
From every fall, from every end
The fire's still alive in me
I am more than what has buried me
I rise again, I rise again
With open hands and a stronger chest
Let the whole world see me stand
I was broken, not defeated in the end
[Bridge]
No, I won't disappear
No, I won't surrender here
Every wound became a map
Every loss taught me to come back
Lift your eyes, breathe it in
This is where the change begins
One more step, one more breath
I am choosing life again
[Final Chorus]
I rise again, I rise again
From every fall, from every end
The fire's still alive in me
I am more than what has buried me
I rise again, I rise again
Let the walls shake when I confess
I am standing, I am strong
I have carried this heart all along
[Outro]
I rise again
I rise again
The story isn't over yet
