[Intro]
Head down
Heart numb
Same pain
But I don’t run (nah)
[Verse 1]
I was stuck in that cycle, same street, same fight
Same dark in my chest, couldn’t see one light
Pockets thin, faith thinner, said I’d never be a winner
Talked tough, but I kept eating doubt for dinner
Had to stare in the mirror, see a stranger there
All the lies that I’d swallowed started clogging the air
I was begging for a reason just to crawl from the floor
Higher power in my whisper saying, “You were built for more”
[Chorus]
I’m higher than my failures, louder than my fear (yeah)
Every single scar turned a map to here
Climbed out of the grave I was digging myself
Now I walk with a strength I ain’t finding on a shelf
Hard bass in my chest, but my soul stay tough
Through the blood, through the tears, never giving up
I was drowning in the storm, now I rise above
Higher than my failures, powered by love (woah)
[Verse 2]
Used to pray for a shortcut, never got that
Got tests, got pressure, got pushback
Every “no” that I heard was a push to the edge
Till I learned I could build from the cracks in the ledge
Now I talk to the sky when the world too loud
Ask, “Guide my steps,” then I face that crowd
If I trip, if I fall, I don’t stay on the ground
I got grace in my corner every time I’m down
[Bridge]
From the gutter to the glow, that’s a long, long road
Had to drop old habits just to drop that load
When the hate gets heavy and my mind gets rough
That voice in my chest keep telling me, “Get up”
[Chorus]
I’m higher than my failures, louder than my fear (yeah)
Every single scar turned a map to here
Climbed out of the grave I was digging myself
Now I walk with a strength I ain’t finding on a shelf
Hard bass in my chest, but my soul stay tough
Through the blood, through the tears, never giving up
I was drowning in the storm, now I rise above
Higher than my failures, powered by love (powered by love)
