[Verse 1]
You were shaking in the doorway
Ticket in your hand
Eyes on the floor
I was stitching up my own scars
Laughing like I’d never lost before
Every broken plan behind us
Every “almost” hanging in the air
All the ashes on our shoulders
Proving that we made it there
[Chorus]
Every fall
Every fracture
Every promise that collapsed in the night
Makes us louder
Makes us braver
We are iron in the fire
Burning bright
If the sky has to break just to show us the stars
Then we’ll stand in the storm
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
Every fail will make us stronger
We will rise
We will rise from every scar
[Verse 2]
You said
“What if this is useless?”
Voice a fragile thread about to tear
I said
“Look
The ground is shaking
But we’re still standing right here”
We’ve been dragged along the bottom
We have tasted every kind of dust
Yet our names are in the thunder
Written in the roar
In the rush
[Chorus]
Every fall
Every fracture
Every promise that collapsed in the night
Makes us louder
Makes us braver
We are iron in the fire
Burning bright
If the sky has to break just to show us the stars
Then we’ll stand in the storm
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
Every fail will make us stronger
We will rise
We will rise from every scar
[Bridge]
(Oh) When the choir of our doubts starts screaming
Let it scream
Let it scream
Let it scream
We are more than every lost beginning
More than every shattered dream
So sing it for the ones still crawling
For the ones who think they’re done
We’re the echo of a promise
We’re the turning toward the sun (hey!)
[Chorus]
Every fall
Every fracture
Every promise that collapsed in the night
Makes us louder
Makes us braver
We are iron in the fire
Burning bright
If the sky has to break just to show us the stars
Then we’ll stand in the storm
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
Every fail will make us stronger
We will rise
We will rise from every scar
[Outro]
We will rise
We will rise
Through the cracks of heaven
Side by side
Every fail will make us stronger
You and I
You and I
