[Intro]
Pressure in my chest
Heart beating like war
Whispers in my head
Saying “you can’t anymore”
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking through the ashes
Both knees on the ground, still I rise from the crashes
Every scar that I carry is a map of the fight
Every tear in the dark starts a spark of His light
Fear in my throat, tryna choke what I say
But He broke them chains, now I talk by faith
Storm all around but my soul stand calm
’Cause His hand on my shoulder like a soldier’s palm (yeah)
[Chorus]
Faith over fear, I stand tall in the fire (stand tall)
Pain in my bones, but His love takes me higher (so high)
When I can’t move, He’s the strength in my stride
I fall to my knees, then I rise, then I rise
Faith over fear, every mountain will fall
He’s in my veins, I got courage through it all
When I can’t breathe, He’s the air in my lungs
I shout His name, and the darkness runs
[Drop]
[Massive gritty bass drop, chopped vocal chanting “faith over fear” in syncopated rhythms]
[Verse 2]
I remember every night I was fighting my doubts
Silent in the room, only silence was loud
Then a voice in my spirit said, “You’re never alone
I carried that cross, I can carry your load”
So I step in the valley like a giant awake
Heart full of hope where the hurt used to stay
I ain’t backing down, I was built for the clash
’Cause my God turn pressure into diamonds from the ash (hey)
[Chorus]
Faith over fear, I stand tall in the fire (stand tall)
Pain in my bones, but His love takes me higher (higher)
When I can’t move, He’s the strength in my stride
I fall to my knees, then I rise, then I rise
Faith over fear, every mountain will fall
He’s in my veins, I got courage through it all
When I can’t breathe, He’s the air in my lungs
I shout His name, and the darkness runs
[Bridge]
Hands up, hands up, let the chains hit the floor (hit the floor)
Got a battle in my blood but I’m ready for more
Every step that I take, He’s ahead of my way
If my God be for me, what can stand in my way?
[Drop]
[Second, harsher drop with glitchy fills and vocal chops repeating “stand tall / faith over fear”]
