[Verse]
Scrapes on my knees carved lessons deep
Rough tides pulled me but I didn’t weep
Fist to the wall how I fought to stand
Finding the steadiness in trembling hands
[Verse]
Screams in the dark taught me how to shout
Faced the doubts till they burned out
I see the steel forming in my soul
Every hit shaping me whole
[Chorus]
Glad I fell glad I bled glad it stung
Through the breaking the becoming begun
Each wound a map carving out my skin
Now I’m a fortress standing within
[Verse]
Chains I snapped made me breathe clean
Shadows chased me crawling unseen
But every crack they left upon my heart
Became lines of strength where I tore apart
[Bridge]
This no easy climb but I know the peak
Let the thunder roar let the heavens leak
I’ll keep climbing carrying the fight
A storm inside a burning light
[Chorus]
Glad I fell glad I bled glad it stung
Through the breaking the becoming begun
Each wound a map carving out my skin
Now I’m a fortress standing within
