I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised
Left alone with nothing to lose
Rain was falling, nights were long
But I kept walking, staying strong
(Pre-Chorus)
Tears dried on my pillow
Dreams buried under the willow
But fire in my chest said no,
You were made to glow
(Chorus)
I rise from the ashes, flames in my soul
Turning my pain into diamonds and gold
You tried to drown me, I learned how to swim
Now I'm the storm you can't keep in
Oh, I rise — I rise again
(Verse 2)
Whispers said I wouldn’t make it
Tried to write me off and fake it
But I wrote my own story line
With every scar, I drew a sign
(Pre-Chorus)
Hurt tried to own me
But hope overthrew the lonely
Now watch me burn through the dark,
Becoming a spark
(Chorus)
I rise from the ashes, flames in my soul
Turning my pain into diamonds and gold
You tried to drown me, I learned how to swim
Now I'm the storm you can't keep in
Oh, I rise — I rise again
(Bridge)
And if I fall again, I’ll stand
Stronger with open hands
Built from every battle cry
I am the reason why...
(Final Chorus)
I rise from the ashes, higher each time
Breaking the ceiling that once held my sky
You thought I’d shatter — but look at me shine
I’m not just surviving, I redefine
Oh, I rise — I rise again
I rise — I rise again
