[Verse]
Fell through the cracks
Hit the bottom hard
Broken mirrors
Scars like battle cards
Cried rivers dry
No one saw the flood
Stained my hands
My own damn blood
[Chorus]
Life is golden
I swear it’s true
Even in the black
Light cuts through
Bad days sting but they don’t own me
Good days rise
Wild and free
[Verse 2]
Misery taught me
Carved me a throne
Built from rubble
I made it my own
Storms tore me down
Left me exposed
But every wound healed
Every thorn deposed
[Prechorus]
Now I breathe
I scream
I rise
Sun burns hotter after dark skies
[Chorus]
Life is golden
I swear it’s true
Even in the black
Light cuts through
Bad days sting but they don’t own me
Good days rise
Wild and free
[Bridge]
Even when the rain pours
I dance
Even when I falter
I take a stance
Pain was a teacher
A cruel one too
But it taught me to fight
To break through
