RISE AGAIN

(Soft keys with subtle choir harmonies fade in — heartbeat-style drums underneath)

I done fell down more times than I can count

Had to climb out pain, couldn’t find no route

People left when the light went out

But I learned who’s real when the flames burned out

Now I’m lookin’ at the sky, talkin’ to my past

Tellin’ that pain, “you ain’t gon’ last”

I carried that cross, I broke that chain

Now I’m walkin’ in fire but I feel no pain

*(Background singers hum “feel no pain, feel no pain…”)

Took losses that taught me to breathe

Scars that remind me what I believe

And if I fall again, I’ll still stand tall

‘Cause the broken ones still rise after all

I rise again, through the ashes and rain

Every tear I cried just watered my flame

Can’t kill my hope, can’t steal my name

Yeah, I fall but I rise again

I rise again, yeah I rise again

Through every storm, through every sin

The light in my soul still burn within

Yeah, I rise again

⸻

(Bridge – faint organ and bass build up, background vocals hum)

I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, I’ve been tested

Had my heart broke, but I still stay invested

Love ain’t easy but I still respect it

Every scar I got, I don’t regret it

‘Cause pain made a king outta what was weak

And strength came from nights I couldn’t speak

Now when I sing, it ain’t just pain I preach

It’s proof that the light still lives in me

*(Backgrounds echo: “light still lives in me…”)

I rise again, through the ashes and rain

Every tear I cried just watered my flame

Can’t kill my hope, can’t steal my name

Yeah, I fall but I rise again

I rise again, yeah I rise again

Through every storm, through every sin

The light in my soul still burn within

Yeah, I rise again

⸻

(Music softens, transitions into the reflective outro moment — same smooth live energy as your previous songs)

Sometimes life don’t break you… it rebuilds you.

And when you realize that, you stop askin’ why —

and you start sayin’ thank you.

*(Background singers hum low, like a choir: “thank you… thank you…”)

I’ve been fightin’ my way through fire and rain

But I still stand tall, I still remain

If I lose my breath, don’t let it be in vain

I’m here to love, to heal, to rise again

*(Background harmonies fade softly: “rise again, rise again…”)

Yeah, I rise again…

Through every pain I’ve been in…

Still got love, still got light within…

Yeah, I rise again…

(Fade out — slow piano, last vocal hum lingering)
