I watched my world fall out of line,
lost what mattered, lost my time.
Held on tight to what let go,
learned the cost of holding on.
When the ground gave way below,
I stood alone in afterglow.
I lost the map, I lost the plan,
but not the will to stand.
I rise again, I rise again,
from the ashes, from the end.
I rise again, I rise again,
broken doesn’t mean I bend.
I rise again.
Love fell silent, doors closed fast,
future buried in the past.
Jobs and cities burned to dust,
all I knew I learned to trust.
Still I breathe, still I stay,
still there’s light inside the grey.
I won’t deny the scars I wear,
they prove I’m still here.
I rise again, I rise again,
from the ashes, from the end.
I rise again, I rise again,
this is where I start again.
I rise again.
Life is fragile, nothing stays,
but I choose the way I change.
Not the same, but still alive,
this is how I rise.
I rise again, I rise again,
hear my heartbeat in the flames.
I rise again, I rise again,
I am more than what I’ve been.
I rise again.
Not erased, just rearranged,
I rise again.
