Rising Through the Whispers

[Intro] Whispers echo, but I breathe in deep Stone by stone I learn to keep A quiet oath beneath the skin I wear To rise again, to meet the glare [Verse 1] I used to carry shadows like a coat Mistakes stitched tight around my throat But I’m tracing lines of light I found within Step by step, I’m learning to begin [Pre-Chorus] Let them speak of who I was, I won’t bend I’m ink and fire, rewriting trends [Chorus] I’m more than echoes of my past mistakes I’m growing roots, I’m choosing what I take Whispers try to bind, but I break the chain I rise anew, I heal from the rain [Verse 2] Judgment sails on windy days, but I stand Firm as a compass, guided by my own hands Every reminder is a whistle to improve I trade old labels for a stronger groove [Pre-Chorus] Let them speak of who I was, I won’t bend I’m birth of dawn, a professional of mend [Chorus] I’m more than echoes of my past mistakes I’m growing roots, I’m choosing what I take Whispers try to bind, but I break the chain I rise anew, I heal from the rain [Bridge] If I stumble, I’ll learn the routes again If I fall, I’ll mend, I’ll stand where I began [Chorus] I’m more than echoes of my past mistakes I’m growing roots, I’m choosing what I take Whispers try to bind, but I break the chain I rise anew, I heal from the rain [Outro] Whispers fade as I walk toward the light The person I become is mine to write
