[Verse 1]
I carried every failure like a stone inside my coat
Kept my answers folded where nobody could know
The mirror knew the names I was afraid to say
But morning found me breathing, and I’m still here today
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need to be unbroken
I just need to face the door
With a heart that’s still wide open
And a little more than before
[Chorus]
I will rise from what has pained me
I will learn the shape of change
When the old doubts try to name me
I’ll answer in my own way
I may bend, but I won’t vanish
I may fall, but I’ll begin
Every step becomes a promise
I can believe in who I’m becoming
[Verse 2]
I’m done with measuring my worth by someone else’s hands
Done mistaking all my detours for a life I couldn’t plan
There are cracks across the pavement, there are miles I haven’t seen
But the person walking through them is becoming more like me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a perfect reason
I just need to take the next
Let the doubt arrive like weather
It can pass without a trace
[Chorus]
I will rise from what has pained me
I will learn the shape of change
When the old doubts try to name me
I’ll answer in my own way
I may bend, but I won’t vanish
I may fall, but I’ll begin
Every step becomes a promise
I can believe in who I’m becoming
[Bridge]
If I tremble, let me tremble
If I’m scared, I’ll still move on
There is courage in the choosing
There is strength in carrying on
I was never meant to stay here
In the room where fear began
I can open up the window
I can meet myself again
[Final Chorus]
I will rise from what has pained me
I will turn the page and change
All the doubt that once contained me
Doesn’t get to speak my name
I may bend, but I won’t vanish
I may fall, but I’ll begin
Every step becomes a promise
I believe in who I’m becoming
[Outro]
I believe in who I’m becoming
One more breath, one more step
I believe in who I’m becoming
And I’m not finished yet
