Dirt

I was down in the dirt with nothing to claim

Winds howling loud

I stood in the rain

Shadows tried to bind me

I broke every chain

Through the fire and the fight

I rose again

The clock struck midnight

Tears hit the floor

Each toll a reminder

I've been here before

But the cracks in the heart are where light pours

Now I see my strength

I am so much more

I rise from the ashes

I’m burning bright

From the darkest hour into the light

Every battle scar

A piece of my fight

I rise from the ashes

Ready for flight

They whispered defeat

Said I'll never survive

But they don’t know the power of being alive

Every heartbeat is proof I thrive

No storm can take the fire inside

I’ve walked on edges that could cut like a knife

Danced with the bitter and shaken the strife

I wear my lessons like armor in life

Nothing can stop me

I’m rising tonight

I rise from the ashes

I’m burning bright

From the darkest hour into the light

Every battle scar

A piece of my fight

I rise from the ashes

Ready for flight
