[Verse 1]
I spent years gripping tighter
Thinking control could keep me safe
If I could hold every piece in place
Maybe nothing else would break
But life doesn’t ask permission
And grief doesn’t follow rules
I learned you can’t control the fire
Only what you walk through
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost people
I lost pieces
I lost who I thought I’d be
Then somewhere in the wreckage
I finally chose me
[Chorus]
From chaos to crown
From face-down to standing
From begging life for mercy
To finally demanding
I don’t control what happens
I control what happens now
Every scar became a reason
Every fall showed me how
I didn’t rise untouched
I crawled through every flame
Chaos made the woman
But I chose who wore the crown
[Verse 2]
I tried drowning every feeling
Till the numb became my home
Tried controlling every ending
So I’d never lose again
But control was never power
When it came from being afraid
Power was waking up one morning
And choosing not to live that way
[Chorus]
From chaos to crown
From face-down to standing
From begging life for mercy
To finally demanding
I don’t control what happens
I control what happens now
Every scar became a reason
Every fall showed me how
[Bridge]
The crown isn’t gold
It isn’t applause
It’s knowing who I am
After everything I lost
It’s choosing tomorrow
When yesterday tried to win
It’s looking at the wreckage
And building again
[Final Chorus]
From chaos to crown
I don’t need saving now
I can’t control the storm
But I decide what happens now
I didn’t rise untouched
I still carry every name
Chaos made the woman
But I chose who wore the crown.
