Rise Like This

Yeah

Look

Started from a bruise and a late bus

Now every setback just trains us

Used to count the cracks in the ceiling

Now I count wins, count healing

Hands once empty, now reaching

Every little loss was a teaching

Dust in my lungs, I was breathing fear

Heart on mute, couldn’t hear it clear

Turned every doubt to a souvenir

Pinned to the wall like “we got here”

Had my back to the ground, now I pivot

Every “you can’t” got flipped, I live it

They said “sit down,” I just stood up different

Hit that limit, then I split that limit (yeah)

I rise like this, like this, I’m climbing

Turn the hurt into heat, I’m shining

You can’t cage this sky I’m finding

Watch me, watch me

(I rise like this)

I rise like this, no chains, I’m flying

Every fall just feeds my timing

From the ash to the peak, I’m siding

With the voice in me that says

I rise like this

Late nights, eyes red from the bright screen

Writing out dreams on a tight beam

Turned “maybe one day” to a fight scene

Punching through the walls of the old me

Missed calls, backed rent, I was broke down

Still I saw gold in a ghost town

Now the ground shakes when I step out

Every little “nah” gets checked out (hey!)

Had my back to the ground, now I pivot

Every “you can’t” got flipped, I live it

They said “sit down,” I just stood up different

Hit that limit, then I split that limit

I rise like this, like this, I’m climbing

Turn the hurt into heat, I’m shining

You can’t cage this sky I’m finding

Watch me, watch me

(I rise like this)

I rise like this, no chains, I’m flying

Every fall just feeds my timing

From the ash to the peak, I’m siding

With the voice in me that says

I rise like this

Hands up high for the ones still falling

Tears on the floor but you keep on walking

Storm in your chest but your pulse keeps talking

“Get up, get up, get up, get up” (woah)

Scars on your skin like a roadmap glowing

Proof that the cracks let the light keep flowing

Stand in the quake, feel the ground start growing

This is the sound of a soul still going

I rise like this, like this, I’m climbing

Turn the hurt into heat, I’m shining

You can’t cage this sky I’m finding

Watch me, watch me

(I rise like this)

I rise like this, no chains, I’m flying

Every fall just feeds my timing

From the ash to the peak, I’m siding

With the voice in me that says

I rise like this
