Rise in the Dark

I don't wait for morning light

I build my courage in the night

Every fear that held me still

I faced alone with iron will

They told me hope was far too late

But I learned strength beneath the weight

I took my wounds, made them art

I built a fire from falling apart

You don't need the world to see

To rise up and still be free

I rise in the dark, I rise in the storm

I rise in the place where I was torn

No one gave me a golden spark

I found my flame and lit the dark

I rise in the pain, I rise in the cold

With nothing but a hand to hold

I rise like thunder, slow and stark

I rise, I rise in the dark

I am the quiet, I am the loud

I wear my fear, but I walk proud

I am the woman they tried to break

But here I stand, make no mistake

They don't know what I survived

She survived

I'm not broken, I'm alive

Still alive

We rise where they said we'd fall

I rise in the dark, I rise in the storm

I rise in the place where I was torn

No one gave me a golden spark

I found my flame and lit the dark

I rise in the pain, I rise in the cold

With nothing but a hand to hold

I rise like thunder, slow and stark

I rise, I rise in the dark

We rise in the dark

We rise
