[Verse 1]
Woke up in the shadow of a city made of glass
Counting all the promises that slipped right through my hands
There's a fire in my chest that the rain can't wash away
I've been walking through the dark just to find the light of day
Every scar tells a story that the silence never knew
I was broken into pieces, but I built myself anew
Now I'm standing on the edge of everything I used to fear
With my heart wide open, finally, finally clear
[Chorus]
So I'll rise like the morning, I'll rise like the sun
I'll keep on running till the fight is won
Through the storm and the thunder, through the pain and the cost
I found myself in everything I thought I lost
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise again
Out of the ashes, out of the rain
I'll rise, I'll rise, unbroken and free
This is the sound of who I'm meant to be
[Verse 2]
There were nights I couldn't breathe beneath the weight I carried
Voices telling me to quit before the dream was buried
But I held on to a whisper that kept calling out my name
Told me I was more than shadows, more than all the blame
So I traded all my doubts for a fire that never dies
Learned to read the constellations hidden in my eyes
Every step I take is proof that I refuse to fall
I've got thunder in my bones and I won't stop at all
[Chorus]
So I'll rise like the morning, I'll rise like the sun
I'll keep on running till the fight is won
Through the storm and the thunder, through the pain and the cost
I found myself in everything I thought I lost
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise again
Out of the ashes, out of the rain
I'll rise, I'll rise, unbroken and free
This is the sound of who I'm meant to be
[Bridge]
Maybe the breaking was the making of me
Maybe the darkness taught my soul to see
Every tear I cried became a river wide
Carrying me home on the other side
I'm not afraid of the thunder anymore
I've got a strength that I never knew before
Watch me climb out of the wreckage, watch me fly
Painting my colors across the midnight sky
[Verse 3]
Now the road ahead is bright with all I couldn't see
Every closed door led me closer to my destiny
I carry all my battles like a crown upon my head
Turned every single ending into words I hadn't said
So if you're lost and wandering through your own kind of night
Remember every shadow only proves there's coming light
We're all just diamonds forming underneath the pressure's hold
Shining brighter every moment as our stories slowly unfold
[Chorus]
So I'll rise like the morning, I'll rise like the sun
I'll keep on running till the fight is won
Through the storm and the thunder, through the pain and the cost
I found myself in everything I thought I lost
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise again
Out of the ashes, out of the rain
I'll rise, I'll rise, unbroken and free
This is the sound of who I'm meant to be
[Outro]
I'll rise, I'll rise
Out of the ashes, into the light
I'll rise, I'll rise
This is my life, and I'm taking flight
