[Verse 1] Started small town Rain on the slate roofs Hand-me-down boots Muddy bus rides Pockets like black holes Big talk Thin coat Left with a backpack Breath like a battle cry Shook off the old sky Every setback Fuel on my fire inside [Chorus] This is my rise Fall Rise again Hear the pipes call out my name I hit the ground I learned the pain Then I kicked that dirt away My rise Fall Rise again I bend I break I don’t stay down Drums of my heart They pull me in I rise I fall I rise again [Verse 2] Bright stage Big lights Thought I had made it Lost in the praises Wrong friends Cheap highs Slipped off the tightrope Laughed while I choked Phone didn’t ring then Nights felt a mile long Silence No fight song Only my heartbeat Beating that stubborn drum [Instrumental] [Bridge] Feet on the floor Heel Toe Stamp Roar Fists to the sky I was built to survive Every scar in my skin Is a drum counting in Hear that wild Ancient sound Lifting me off the ground [crescendo] [Instrumental]
