[Verse 1] I remember the stone Under my trembling hands Cold as a winter plea I was a name in the dust A spark in a broken land Held by the ache of defeat [Pre-Chorus] Then your voice found me Soft through the dark Like a lantern in rain And the years fell away From the edge of my heart As I rose from the chain [Chorus] I rise I rise again Out of the ash Into the dawn I rise I rise again You called my name And I stood up strong (stand up strong) [Verse 2] Footsteps in faded halls Echo like old goodbyes Traces of who I was But the fear in my veins Met the fire in my eyes And the wound turned into a sun [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky opens wide Like it knew me all along Every scar turns to gold And the veil on my soul Burns away with the dawn As I rise, as I roll [Chorus] I rise I rise again Out of the ash Into the dawn I rise I rise again You called my name And I stood up strong (stand up strong) [Bridge] Let the old world shake I was never done I was built from the break And the hurting became The shape of the one Who would carry the flame [Final Chorus] I rise I rise again Out of the ash Into the dawn I rise I rise again You called my name And I stood up strong I rise I rise again This is my hour This is my song (stand up strong)
