[Verse 1]
Walkin’ through the shadows of my past,
Every tear I cried just made me shine at last.
You tried to break me, thought I’d fall apart,
But every scar wrote a new song in my heart.
(Vocal phrasing: start soft, smooth, gradually grow in intensity toward the pre-chorus)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was silent, now I’m loud,
No more hidin’ in the crowd.
The pain you gave became my crown—
I’m standin’ proud, I’m standin’ proud.
(Instrumentation: piano chords, light organ in background, bass kicks in slightly for groove)
[Chorus]
I rise like fire, burnin’ higher,
Ain’t no chain can hold my desire.
I found my voice, I found my truth,
And I ain’t singin’ this for you.
I rise like fire, I’m the choir,
Soul of a woman, heart of a fighter.
Can’t put me out, I’m born anew,
Baby, I’m stronger than the hurt you put me through.
(Vocal: big belts here, use gospel-style call-and-response ad-libs in the background)
[Verse 2]
Used to beg for love that never came,
Now I dance alone, but I feel no shame.
Gospel in my bones, rhythm in my soul,
I don’t need your mercy—I’m in control.
[Bridge] (powerful, soulful, Christina-style runs)
I ain’t your victim, I’m redemption in heels,
Every note I sing is the way my heart heals.
Took all that heartbreak, turned it to gold,
I’m the story that’s yet to be told.
[Final Chorus]
I rise like fire, burnin’ higher,
Ain’t no storm can drown my choir.
Lift my spirit, let it fly,
You can’t dim this light of mine.
I rise like fire, I’m the choir,
Soul of a woman, heart of a fighter.
Don’t need saving, don’t need proof—
Baby, my soul is bulletproof.
[Outro — soulful ad-libs & harmonies]
Mmm, I rise… I rise… oh,
Like fire, higher, yeah…
Can’t break me, no…
I’m stronger now…
I rise…
