Lead A:
I woke up today with a shaky heart,
Didn’t know if I could restart…

Aah… you’ll find your way…
Lead A:
But every misstep lights another spark—
I rise again, I’m not afraid.

[Pre-Chorus — Call & Response]
Lead A:
Maybe I fall—

You rise again!
Lead A:
Maybe I break—

You mend again!

But I’m still here, and I’m learning to say—
Choir:
Shine anyway!

You know—
You’re stronger than you show—

I keep on running through the open sky,
Chasing every dream that never dies.
I fall, I bleed, I stand back on my feet—
This fire in me just multiplies.
Choir (rhythmic “da-da-dap”)
Da-da-dap, da-da-dap…
