Phoenix Rising Up

Phoenix Rising Up

I hit the ground with nothing left,

Blood in my mouth, fire in my chest.

I felt the weight come crashing down,

Lost in the wreckage all around.

I watched everything fall apart,

Felt every failure leave its mark.

But somewhere underneath the pain,

A dying spark became a flame.

I’ve been buried, I’ve been broken,

But I’m still breathing through the smoke.

You can push me past the edge,

But you can’t decide where my story ends.

I’m a phoenix rising up,

From the ashes, from the dust.

Every scar became a reason,

Every wound became my strength.

I was down, but never finished,

Now the fire’s in my blood.

You thought you saw the end of me—

I’m a phoenix rising up.

I learned to stand when no one came,

Turned all my fear into something brave.

The weight that used to crush my bones

Built the strength I call my own.

Now every step shakes the ground,

I hear the doubt but drown it out.

I’m not the same one you defeated,

That version of me burned when I needed it.

Let the sky turn black above me,

Let the whole damn world come crashing.

I’ve already lived through losing all—

What makes you think I’m scared to fall?

I’m a phoenix rising up,

From the ashes, from the dust.

Every scar became a reason,

Every wound became my strength.

I was down, but never finished,

Now the fire’s in my blood.

You thought you saw the end of me—

I’m a phoenix rising up.

Burn me down!

I’ll come back stronger.

Knock me out!

I’ll fight back harder.

Take my hope!

I’ll make another.

I’ve died a thousand deaths inside—

And every time I fucking rise!

I don’t need the life I had,

I don’t need to take it back.

Let the old me disappear,

There’s nothing left for me to fear.

These wings were forged inside the flames,

I walked through hell and kept my name.

If this is what it takes to fly—

Then watch me set fire to the sky!

I’m a phoenix rising up,

Higher than I’ve ever been.

Every scar that tried to break me

Is a place the light gets in.

I was down, but never finished,

Now there’s thunder in my blood.

You thought the fire would destroy me—

It only made me strong enough.

Phoenix rising up!

Phoenix rising up!

From nothing—

I RISE!
