Endure and Rise

[Intro] Whispers in the hallway, dawn scratches the glass I lace up my courage, there’s miles to pass [Verse 1] Life shoots the spears of doubt, one by one they come I fold my sleeves, I fight through the static and the hum Every setback’s a teacher with a stubborn grin I breathe in fire and keep on moving, stubborn within [Chorus] I will rise, I will stand, I’ll weather the storm and demanding days I’ll push through the margins, find the light in the gray Perseverance is my anthem when the road won’t bend This struggle is my compass, guiding me to the end [Verse 2] Some days are heavy like rain on a window pane Some nights I whisper hope and refuse to break or wane I’m building a stubborn garden from thorn and thorned seed And I’m choosing courage, letting faith take the lead [Chorus] I will rise, I will stand, I’ll weather the storm and demanding days I’ll push through the margins, find the light in the gray Perseverance is my anthem when the road won’t bend This struggle is my compass, guiding me to the end [Bridge] If the road grows tangled, I’ll learn to thread the doubt If fear starts speaking louder, I’ll listen for a louder shout [Chorus] I will rise, I will stand, I’ll weather the storm and demanding days I’ll push through the margins, find the light in the gray Perseverance is my anthem when the road won’t bend This struggle is my compass, guiding me to the end [Outro] Step by step, I’m moving toward the dawn, I’m not done yet With every breath, I choose to endure and never forget
