[Intro]
Wake up late, the window’s sighing rain
Shivers at the door, the world feels gray
But I lace my thoughts with a stubborn flame
And tell the shadows, I’m walking anyway
[Verse 1]
Sick with the ache of yesterday’s mistakes
Drinking the din of a lone, crowded train
I whisper to the mirror, “We’ll mend this fracture with a brave heart’s stake”
Cause healing starts where the quiet trembles sane
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, a flicker breaks the chill
Breath by breath, I’m climbing over the hill
[Chorus]
I am more than this ache inside me
I’m sparking through, I’m finding the bright side to see
Let the fever fade, let the courage be my guide
I’ll rise again, I’ll rise again, I will survive
[Verse 2]
Friends ring in with laughter, warm and bright
A cup of tea, a chorus on the phone
Little moments stitch the rough edges tight
Till the storm decides to turn and roam
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, the dawn begins to spill
Breath by breath, I’m climbing over the hill
[Chorus]
I am more than this ache inside me
I’m sparking through, I’m finding the bright side to see
Let the fever fade, let the courage be my guide
I’ll rise again, I’ll rise again, I will survive
[Bridge]
If the night insists on staying, I’ll write a new sun in the sky
If the body aches keep asking questions, I’ll answer with a hopeful reply
[Chorus]
I am more than this ache inside me
I’m sparking through, I’m finding the bright side to see
Let the fever fade, let the courage be my guide
I’ll rise again, I’ll rise again, I will survive
[Outro]
Sick no more, I’ll walk toward the light I’ve earned
Step by step, the road blooms and returns
