**Verse 1**
Woke up this morning, feeling that fire,
Thought I’d left it all behind, but I’m climbing higher.
Every road I traveled, every tear I shed,
Taught me I’m a warrior, never backing down, instead.
**Pre-Chorus**
They said I’d fall, they said I’d break,
But I’m rising up, make no mistake.
With every shadow, I found my light,
Now I’m ready for the fight.
**Chorus**
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the storm, I’m the thunder, hear my roar.
Every setback just fueled my fire,
I’m the phoenix rising, taking it higher.
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the dream that won’t fade, I’m the one they saw.
With my heart on my sleeve and my eyes on the prize,
I’m the comeback kid, watch me rise.
**Verse 2**
Took some hits, yeah, I wore those scars,
But they’re just reminders of how close I am to stars.
Every doubt they whispered, every door they closed,
Just made me stronger, and now here I go.
**Pre-Chorus**
They said I’d fall, they said I’d break,
But I’m rising up, make no mistake.
With every shadow, I found my light,
Now I’m ready for the fight.
**Chorus**
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the storm, I’m the thunder, hear my roar.
Every setback just fueled my fire,
I’m the phoenix rising, taking it higher.
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the dream that won’t fade, I’m the one they saw.
With my heart on my sleeve and my eyes on the prize,
I’m the comeback kid, watch me rise.
**Bridge**
So here’s to the ones who thought I’d stay down,
I’m breaking through the silence, I’m wearing my crown.
With every heartbeat, I’m stronger than before,
I’m the echo of hope, I’m the one they can’t ignore.
**Chorus**
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the storm, I’m the thunder, hear my roar.
Every setback just fueled my fire,
I’m the phoenix rising, taking it higher.
Was I surprised I was gonna come back? Hell naw,
I’m the dream that won’t fade, I’m the one they saw.
With my heart on my sleeve and my eyes on the prize,
I’m the comeback kid, watch me rise.
**Outro**
So here I stand, with my head held high,
No more looking back, I’m ready to fly.
Was I surprised? Nah, I’m ready to go,
This is my moment, let the whole world know.
