Lyrics

[Intro]

[Violin sings the melody

Soft guitar thumb-picking underneath]

[Verse 1]

Mud on my boots

Blood on my tongue

Name in the dirt

Song half-sung

You can taste that iron

In the back of your throat

That quiet little choir

Saying

"Kid

You won't cope"

[Chorus]

But I rise like a stone from the riverbed

Cold and cracked

But I'm not dead

You can throw me down

I remember the ground

Then I rise

I rise instead

(yeah, I rise)

[Verse 2]

Bar stool preacher

Says

"Son

That's life"

Cards come crooked

Blade meets knife

Every door slammed

Leaves a mark in the frame

Every time I stumble

I lean into the shame

[Chorus]

And I rise like a stone from the riverbed

Cold and cracked

But I'm not dead

You can break my skin

I breathe it back in

Then I rise

I rise instead

(oh I rise)

[Bridge]

Every bruise is a breadcrumb

Leading me home

Every loss is a lesson

Carved in the bone

When the wind says "stay down"

I answer alone

"I've made friends with the floor

But it won't be my throne" (hey!)

[Chorus]

So I rise like a stone from the riverbed

Cold and cracked

But I'm not dead

You can call it pride

I call it staying alive

I just rise

I rise instead

[Outro]

[Violin returns

Slow and raw

Over bare guitar]

I just rise

I rise instead
