[Verse 1]
Furnace door on the floor
I was bent, I was sore
Hot hands, hard lessons
Taking hits as blessings
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn me down, build me right
Put my edges in the light
I don’t break, I don’t fold
Watch me sharpen in the cold
[Chorus]
Temper me
Temper me
Make me strong
Temper me
Temper me
I come back long
[Verse 2]
Red glow in my bones
Hammer marks, battle tones
Every crack got sealed
Every wound got steel
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn me down, build me right
Put my edges in the light
I don’t break, I don’t fold
Watch me sharpen in the cold
[Chorus]
Temper me
Temper me
Make me strong
Temper me
Temper me
I come back long
[Bridge]
Let the fire take its turn
Let the broken pieces learn
What was soft can stand up tall
What was small can outlast it all
[Final Chorus]
Temper me
Temper me
Make me strong
Temper me
Temper me
I come back long
Temper me
Temper me
I’m forged, not gone
