[Verse 1]
I walked through ash and stone
With a name carved hard in me
Every scar said, "Hold on"
Every loss was teaching me
Cold rain on my back
Hands rough from the fight
I kept my eyes on the door
When the whole world dimmed to night
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I heard your voice
Under every break and bruise
Calling me to rise
Even when I did not move
[Chorus]
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
I kept the flame alive
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
Now I won't hide
[Verse 2]
Brothers in the trench
Shared the bread, shared the weight
Some names never left
They still walk beside my faith
I learned loyalty
When the ground gave way
What was meant to break me
Only taught me how to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I heard your voice
Under every break and bruise
Calling me to rise
Even when I did not move
[Chorus]
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
I kept the flame alive
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
Now I won't hide
[Bridge]
From the pit to the plain
I saw mercy open wide
What the dark tried to claim
Could not kill what stayed inside
[Final Chorus]
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
I kept the flame alive
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
Hope is rising high
I was forged in rain
Forged in rain
And I am still alive
