[Intro]
Rise before the sun, is this what we've become?
Running in circles, can't catch the sun
Never enough, always fighting the tide
Trying to hold on, keep hope alive
[Verse 1]
No time to breathe, no coins in my pocket
Kids' laughter echoes, but I feel like I'm sinking
Used and abused, battered and worn
Heart's been broken, tired and torn
But I rise again with a shattered smile
Walking this road, mile after mile
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scream, every plea, I carry inside
Lost in the crowd, no place to hide
Trying to be better, trying to forgive
Holding on to love, just trying to live
[Chorus]
Holding on through the storm, can't give in
Fighting through the hurt, trying to win
Heart heavy but still beating for hope
Trying to love, trying to cope
Through stress, through pain, I stand tall
Even when I feel like I might fall
Still fighting to find my way
Trying to love another day
[Bridge]
Empty hands but a full soul
Struggling but still whole
Broken but unbowed
Still trying to love out loud
[Outro]
One day this storm will pass, I believe
Till then I’ll fight to love and breathe
No matter how rough, I will strive
Keep loving, keep fighting, stay alive
