Rising From Ruins

Survey the damage, count the cost

Everything I had is lost

But from destruction something grows

A strength that nobody knows

I'll build it back with bloodied hands

On more resilient, sacred land

From the wreckage I emerge

Feeling something like a surge

Of power I never knew

Now watch what I can do

I'm rising from ruins

Building something new and

Stronger than before the fall

I'm standing ten feet tall

From the dust and devastation

Comes my own salvation

Rising from ruins tonight

The old foundation couldn't hold

The structure weak, the timber old

But now I'm laying something true

Something that will see me through

Every brick I place with care

Creating something rare

From the ashes I ascend

This is not the end

This is where I start again

Let the reconstruction begin

I'm rising from ruins

Building something new and

Stronger than before the fall

I'm standing ten feet tall

From the dust and devastation

Comes my own salvation

Rising from ruins tonight

Tear it down, tear it all down

I'll rebuild from underground

What emerges will astound

Standing on unshakeable ground

I'm rising from ruins

Building something new and

Stronger than before the fall

I'm standing ten feet tall

From the dust and devastation

Comes my own salvation

Rising from ruins tonight

Rising with all my might

Into the light
