[Verse 1]
Alarm in the dark
Same ceiling
Same cracks
Hands shake as I tie
These worn-out laces back
Heart heavy as stone
But it still learns your name
In the mirror I whisper
"I'm more than yesterday"
[Chorus]
I’ll rise again
Even if I fall a thousand times (I’ll rise again)
Scars on my hands
Are maps that lead me through the night
Step by step
Chasing down the sun inside my chest
I’ll rise again
I was born to stand
Not just survive
[Verse 2]
Eyes red
But they shine
Through the blur and the doubt
Every "you can’t" I heard
I’m gonna turn it inside out
When the world says "stay"
I’m already out the door
I’m afraid
I’m shaking
But I’m not the kid I was before (no more)
[Chorus]
I’ll rise again
Even if I fall a thousand times (I’ll rise again)
Scars on my hands
Are maps that lead me through the night
Step by step
Chasing down the sun inside my chest
I’ll rise again
I was born to stand
Not just survive
[Bridge]
[Drums drop out
Soft clean guitar only]
Quiet now
Hear the echo of my doubt
Every failure
Every "why"
Like broken glass inside
But a tiny voice
Says "get up one more time"
If my hands still shake
It means I’m still alive (still alive)
[Chorus]
[Full band slams back in]
I’ll rise again
Even if I fall a thousand times (I’ll rise again)
Scars on my hands
Are maps that lead me through the night
Step by step
Chasing down the sun inside my chest
I’ll rise again
I was born to stand
Not just survive
[Chorus]
I’ll rise again
Even if the sky comes crashing down (I’ll rise again)
Shouting your name
As I run straight through the doubt
If I break
I’ll mend
This is not the end
It’s how I fight
I’ll rise again
Yeah
I’ll rise again tonight (oh, I’ll rise again)
