Intro (Soft Choir – Oohs / Ahhs)
Ooooh… ahhh…
Ooooh…
(voices rising like a distant echo)
⸻
Verse 1
I wandered through the hush of broken hours
Where silence learned the sound of my regret
Every memory a cathedral of shadows
Every prayer a secret I never said
Choir (soft, breathy):
Mm… ah…
Hold on… hold on…
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I carried every fear like it was holy
Wore my pain like armor on my skin
But even stars are born in violent fire
Before they ever learn to shine again
Choir (rising):
Rise… rise…
Let the light in…
⸻
Chorus (Full Choir Enters)
Lead:
So here I stand where the night surrenders
Where the dark finally lets me breathe
I’ve been broken, I’ve been burning
But I’m learning who I’m meant to be
Choir (powerful):
We rise… we rise…
Out of the shadows we rise
Lead:
I’ve been walking through the fire
Just to find what’s real in me
Choir:
You are not alone
You were born to believe
⸻
Verse 2
I chased reflections in shattered glass
Mistook the pain for something holy
But every scar became a map
Leading me back to what I’m owed
Choir (low, rhythmic):
Hold on… hold on…
Lead:
I was never meant to disappear
I was meant to burn and still remain
⸻
Pre-Chorus
The fear still whispers, but it’s fading
I can hear my heart again
Choir (building):
Breathe again… rise again…
⸻
Final Chorus (FULL CHOIR — ANTHEMIC)
Lead:
I am standing in the afterglow
Of every tear I ever cried
I was broken, I was burning
But I made it through the night
Choir:
We are more than our scars
We are light in the dark
Lead:
This is where the healing starts
This is who I am inside
Choir (soaring):
We rise, we rise, we rise again
From the ashes, from the pain
⸻
Outro (Choir Only → Fade)
Ooooh…
We rise…
Ooooh…
Into the light…
