Rising From Sick

[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
