[Verse 1] Late nights on the corner Counting cracks in the floor Your shadow in the window Keeps on asking for more I wore my fear like armor Let it bruise through my skin Then I heard my own voice say "Girl, you can still begin" [Pre-Chorus] I was sinking slow Down in the undertow But something in me Would not let go [Chorus] We rise, we rise (out of the dark) We rise, we rise (with a stolen spark) Hands up, heart out We don't fold now We rise, we rise (we rise) [Verse 2] Broken glass in the alley Rain running down my coat Every promise I buried Still was keeping me afloat I took the long road back home With my ribs full of thunder Every step felt heavy Till the weight split under [Pre-Chorus] I was sinking slow Down in the undertow But something in me Would not let go [Chorus] We rise, we rise (out of the dark) We rise, we rise (with a stolen spark) Hands up, heart out We don't fold now We rise, we rise (we rise) [Bridge] If the night comes knocking Let it find me standing If the wall keeps breaking I'll keep on landing I am not the damage I am what survives I am not the ending I'm the reason we're alive [Final Chorus] We rise, we rise (out of the dark) We rise, we rise (with a stolen spark) Hands up, heart out We don't fold now We rise, we rise (we rise)
