Rise from the Fire

(Verse 1)

I was living in the echo of a doubt

Every word I swallowed weighed me down

Had my back against the wall of my own mind

Counting cracks, just killing time

They said “stay small, stay safe, stay quiet”

But silence never kept me alive

I’ve been breathing smoke for far too long

Now I’m coughing up the fight

(Pre-Chorus)

Every scar is a map of where I’ve been

Every loss just sharpens my skin

I’m done waiting for the world to change

I’m the spark in the rain

(Chorus)

I rise from the fire

Yeah, I burn, but I’m brighter

When everything’s breaking, I stand taller

I rise from the fire

I’m done with the fear

Done running from thunder

If this is the end, I’ll go under

Standing, not quiet

I rise from the fire

(Verse 2)

I made friends with the dark in my chest

Learned the hard way pain don’t rest

Every failure left a mark on my name

But it taught me how to stay

I was told I’d never be enough

That I didn’t have the heart or luck

But I found power in the cracks

Now I’m never going back

(Pre-Chorus)

When the ground shakes under my feet

That’s the sound of me believing

I don’t need a crown or choir

Just a reason to ignite

(Chorus)

I rise from the fire

Yeah, I burn, but I’m brighter

When everything’s breaking, I stand taller

I rise from the fire

I’m done with the fear

Done running from thunder

If this is the end, I’ll go under

Standing, not quiet

I rise from the fire

(Bridge)

Let it rain, let it pour

I’ve been here before

Every flame tries to take me

But I was made for the war

Hands shaking, heart loud

I don’t need saving now

I am the strike of the match

I am the smoke, I am the ash

(Break)

Oh

I’m still breathing

Oh

I’m still breathing

(Final Chorus)

I rise from the fire

Every burn made me wiser

If I’m going down, I go higher

I rise from the fire

Hear my voice in the dark

This is more than survival

I was born from the sparks

I rise from the fire

(Outro)

When the smoke clears, I remain

Not untouched, but unchained
