[Verse 1]
Boot soles on broken glass
I learned to move like that
Grey dawn on my knuckles
Still I don't look back
Names carved in the dust
I wore each one like steel
Every wound I made
Taught me how to heal
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not gone
I was bruised, not beat
They left the door half shut
I made my own key
One spark in the dark
Then another, then three
I can hear it now
My future calling me
[Chorus]
Rise up, rise up
I don't fold, I don't fall
Rise up, rise up
I take back it all
Hands up, hands up
I was built for the climb
Rise up, rise up
And I’m winning this time
[Verse 2]
Cold lines on my face
Like maps of where I've been
Rain on the broken rail
I keep running in
They said "stay in your lane"
I said "watch me bend it"
I wore my scars out loud
Now I wear the crown they sent it
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not gone
I was bruised, not beat
They left the door half shut
I made my own key
One spark in the dark
Then another, then three
I can hear it now
My future calling me
[Chorus]
Rise up, rise up
I don't fold, I don't fall
Rise up, rise up
I take back it all
Hands up, hands up
I was built for the climb
Rise up, rise up
And I’m winning this time
[Bridge]
If I hit the floor
I hit it to spring
If the world said "stop"
I learned to swing
Bigger than the break
Harder than the pain
I came through the fire
With a whole new name
[Final Chorus]
Rise up, rise up
I don't fold, I don't fall
Rise up, rise up
I take back it all
Hands up, hands up
I was built for the climb
Rise up, rise up
And I’m winning this time
Rise up, rise up
Hear the whole world say
Rise up, rise up
I came to stay
