[Verse 1]
Ash on my fingers
Names in the stone
I walk through the heather
Yet feel so alone
My shadow is heavier
Than all that I bear
I look for the woman
Who once lived in there
[Chorus]
I will rise like the morning tide
Over rocks where I learned to hide
Every scar
Every breaking line
I will carry as a sign
In the heart of the storm
I find
Love and honor still are mine
I will rise
I will rise
Till I thrive
[Verse 2]
Grief like a winter
Froze me in place
I bowed to the silence
Forgot my own face
But soft as the clover
That pushes through stone
A whisper inside me
Said
“Stand on your own”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I lay down the shame I was given
Like a cloak that was never my own
I speak my true name into daylight
I come back to the life I am owed
With a hand on my heart
I make this vow
I will walk in my truth
I begin now
[Chorus]
