[Verse 1]
I remember folding
Letters in my bedroom drawer
Every word was heavy
Every doubt pressed on the floor
I was counting failures
Like they were the only truth
Didn’t see the doorway
Right in front of me
To you
[Pre-Chorus]
But the crack in my voice
Became my choice
I used every shiver in my hands
To start again
[Chorus]
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this
With the ashes in my lungs
I still learn to sing along
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this
[Verse 2]
Every quiet morning
Coffee in a chipped white cup
Staring at the mirror
Telling me I’m not enough
Then I hear a heartbeat
Running faster than my fear
It’s my own
It’s pounding
Saying
“Get back up
You’re here”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar that I hid
Is opening
But the light is coming through the cracks
I’m taking it back
[Chorus]
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this
With the ashes in my lungs
I still learn to sing along
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this
[Bridge]
Hands up if you’ve broken
(hey!)
Hands up if you’ve bled
If you ever felt the weight
Like a stone inside your chest
We are not our damage
We are every step we take
Hear a thousand voices
Shouting
“We will never break”
[Chorus]
We didn’t come this far to fall like this
We were made to rise
To rise like this
With the ashes in our lungs
We still learn to sing along
We didn’t come this far to fall like this
We were made to rise
To rise like this
[Chorus]
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this
Every tear I tried to hide
Becomes thunder in my sky
I didn’t come this far to fall like this
I was made to rise
To rise like this (oh yeah)
I was made to rise
To rise like this
