[Verse 1] The night came hard Hot on my skin I wore my doubt Like a second dress Your words fell flat Like coins in sand But I kept my feet I kept my hands [Pre-Chorus] Sweat on my neck Fire in the air I lost my fear Right there, right there The floor said move So I moved through I turned that hurt Into something new [Chorus] Heat of the night I rise, I rise (Heat of the night) I don’t break tonight I rise, I rise (Oh, I rise) Heat of the night You watch me glow (Heat of the night) I bend, I breathe Then I let it go (Let it go) [Verse 2] I knew that room Knew every stare Knew every lie Hanging in the air But my hips said yes My heart said go I spun that shame Into a show I shook the dust I shook the blade I let the hurt Get out my way [Pre-Chorus] Sweat on my neck Fire in the air I lost my fear Right there, right there The floor said move So I moved through I turned that hurt Into something new [Chorus] Heat of the night I rise, I rise (Heat of the night) I don’t break tonight I rise, I rise (Oh, I rise) Heat of the night You watch me glow (Heat of the night) I bend, I breathe Then I let it go (Let it go) [Bridge] Let the dark come close I know my name Let it burn, let it burn I stay the same From the ache to the light From the fall to the fire I climb on up Higher, higher [Final Chorus] Heat of the night I rise, I rise (Heat of the night) I don’t break tonight I rise, I rise (Oh, I rise) Heat of the night I lead the flow (Heat of the night) I bend, I breathe Then I let it go (Let it go)
