Rise Above

I’ve been down to the bottom, felt the cold of the night Broken bones and broken hopes, but I never lost sight Every scar is a story, every tear is a sign Heavy weight upon my shoulders, pushing down my mind I have stumbled in the darkness, wandered far astray Watched my confidence get shattered day after day Still I hold onto a flicker deep inside my chest Refuse to let the silence put my spirit to rest I won’t stay silent, I won’t stay small I carry fire behind these walls No more surrender, no more fall I will rise, I will stand tall I rise above the pain, above the rain Nothing’s gonna hold me down again I rise above the fear, above the storm This is my time, I’m reborn I rise above the wounds, above the shame Burn through the doubt, break every chain I rise above the noise, above the war This is my moment, I’m reborn They said my dreams were foolish, said I’d crash and burn Tried to bury my ambition underneath the turn Road was rough and winding, filled with bitter lies Many nights I questioned if I’d ever rise I have paid my heavy price, I have borne the strain Learned to turn my agony into burning flame Now my eyes are open, I can see the path ahead All the battles I’ve endured have forged a stronger head I won’t stay silent, I won’t stay small I carry fire behind these walls No more surrender, no more fall I will rise, I will stand tall I rise above the pain, above the rain Nothing’s gonna hold me down again I rise above the fear, above the storm This is my time, I’m reborn I rise above the wounds, above the shame Burn through the doubt, break every chain I rise above the noise, above the war This is my moment, I’m reborn When the whole world tries to drag you underneath When your inner strength is fading, barely out of reach Do not yield to pressure, do not bow your head Every loss you’ve ever known is just a step ahead I’ve been broken, I’ve been beaten, I have hit the floor But the will inside my soul keeps knocking at the door I won’t bend, I won’t crumble, I won’t fade away I will claim my destiny, I am here to stay I rise above the pain, above the rain Nothing’s gonna hold me down again I rise above the fear, above the storm This is my time, I’m reborn I rise above the wounds, above the shame Burn through the doubt, break every chain I rise above the noise, above the war This is my moment, I’m reborn Rise above… I’m reborn…
