[Verse 1]
I was counting cracks in the ceiling
Wishing I could slip through one
Every scar a secret story
Every day a starting gun
Fell hard on a Monday morning
Face-first in my own doubt
But the ground felt like a warning
Not a place to stay laid out
[Chorus]
I will rise through the wreckage
Through the ash
Through the ache
Through the rain
I am more than my failures
More than every old echo of shame
Every time that I’ve broken
Every night I was too tired to try
I was learning the language
Of getting back up
And staying alive
[Verse 2]
People said
“You’re never changing”
Guess they only knew my ghost
Didn’t see the quiet fire
Burning right behind my jokes
Now I’m pulling nails from the storyline
Tearing up the script they wrote
Tattooing my own promise
On the back of my fragile hope
[Chorus]
I will rise through the wreckage
Through the ash
Through the ache
Through the rain
I am more than my failures
More than every old echo of shame
Every time that I’ve broken
Every night I was too tired to try
I was learning the language
Of getting back up
And staying alive
[Bridge]
I won’t run from all my shadows (hey!)
They’re just proof that I’ve seen light
Every wound that’s slowly healing
Is a reason I still fight
If I stumble
I still move forward
If I’m shaking
I still stand
Redemption isn’t some clean story
It’s dirt and blood
On open hands
[Chorus]
I will rise through the wreckage
Through the ash
Through the ache
Through the rain
I am more than my failures
More than every old echo of shame
Every time that I’ve broken
Every night I was too tired to try
I was learning the language
Of getting back up
And choosing my heart
One more time
