[Verse 1] [M] Started with a borrowed chair One light in a room too bare Mama said, "Keep your chin up, son" I was broke, but I kept my run [F] Pocket full of hard old dreams Hands worn thin from leaning in seams Every no felt like a door Till I learned to want it more [M] I wore doubt like a patched-up coat Still I wrote on the back of hope Every step had a cost to pay Still I moved, I don't fade away [Pre-Chorus] [F] Look at me now I came up slow [M] From the floorboards To the front row [F] Every scar taught What I needed to know [M + F] From nothing to something Watch me grow [Chorus] [M + F] From nothing to something We made that turn From nothing to something Watch the whole room burn [F] Hands in the fire Still we rise [M + F] From nothing to something Right before your eyes (From nothing to something) [Verse 2] [F] Late nights counting loose change Still I kept my name in the frame Used to dream in a cracked-up van Now I step with a steady plan [M] Nobody gave me a clean path Had to build one out of aftermath Stone by stone, I stacked my days Made a crown from the lowest place [F] Now they ask how we did it Truth is simple, we didn't quit it Blood, sweat, words on a page Turned the cage into a stage [Pre-Chorus] [M] Look at us now We came up slow [F] From the floorboards To the front row [M] Every scar taught What we needed to know [M + F] From nothing to something Watch us grow [Chorus] [M + F] From nothing to something We made that turn From nothing to something Watch the whole room burn [F] Hands in the fire Still we rise [M + F] From nothing to something Right before your eyes (From nothing to something) [Bridge] [F] They saw the hunger Not the years [M] Saw the smile Not the tears [F] We kept going Brick by brick [M] Now the name hits hard And the fit looks slick [M + F] If you knew the dark You'd know this light We earned this moment We earned this fight [Chorus] [M + F] From nothing to something We made that turn From nothing to something Watch the whole room burn [F] Hands in the fire Still we rise [M + F] From nothing to something Right before your eyes (From nothing to something)
