Rise Again

I walked through the fire, burned and torn,

Lost my way but I was reborn,

Every scar a map, every tear a sign,

Telling me this heart was built to shine.

I won't whisper when I can roar,

The walls I built don't hold me anymore.

I rise again, I rise again,

From ashes to the light I stand,

No fear, no chains, no bitter end,

I'm stronger now - I rise again.

They tried to dim the spark I own,

But I learned how to blaze alone,

Every fall just taught me flight,

Now I'm dancing through the fight.

The thunder's loud, but I don't bend,

This is where my broken pieces mend.

I rise again, I rise again,

From ashes to the light I stand,

No fear, no chains, no bitter end,

I'm stronger now - I rise again.

I took back my name from the night,

Turned the echoes into battle-cries,

Every "no" became my fuel,

I'm the storm that breaks the rules.

I'm not waiting at a locked-up door,

I built a road and carved a way to more.

I rise again, I rise again,

From ashes to the light I stand,

No fear, no chains, no bitter end,

I'm stronger now - I rise again.

Now the first light cuts the grey,

I'm running like I'm born today,

Turned my scars to threads of gold,

This is strength you can't control.

I've got fire running in my veins,

I don't need permission, I don't need the chains.

All the nights I cried in vain

Built the strength that feeds my flame,

I'm done hiding all the pain-

Watch me rise, again and again!

I rise again, I break the dark, I breathe again,

No fear, no chains, no bitter end,

I'm stronger now - I rise again.
