[Verse 1] Woke up with a storm in my chest Tried to smile, but I felt less Painted on a face, said I’m okay But inside, I’m lost in gray Tired eyes in the mirror stare Whispers tell me no one cares But I’ve walked this road before And I know I’m something more [Pre-Chorus] Every tear that falls is not the end Even broken hearts can mend I breathe in slow, I breathe in deep Tell the dark it can’t have me [Chorus] When the night won’t end, I fight again Even in silence, I won’t pretend There’s a light that’s waiting in the cracks I may bend, but I’ll come back With every bruise, I find my skin Stronger than I’ve ever been It hurts, but still — I rise within And that’s how the light comes in [Verse 2] Used to hide behind the noise Lost myself in others’ voices But now I’m learning to be kind To this heart that’s always tried [Pre-Chorus] Even if I walk alone today The sky won’t always stay this gray Every step I take is proof That I am healing into truth [Chorus] When the night won’t end, I fight again Even in silence, I won’t pretend There’s a light that’s waiting in the cracks I may bend, but I’ll come back With every bruise, I find my skin Stronger than I’ve ever been It hurts, but still — I rise within And that’s how the light comes in [Bridge] Let them call me fragile, Let them say I fall They don’t see the power In standing up at all [Final Chorus – Soaring vocals] When the night won’t end, I fight again Even when I break, I mend There’s a light that’s burning through the cracks I’ve come too far to turn back With every scar, I write my name On pages that outlive the pain I cried, I fell — but I begin And that’s how the light comes in [Outro: soft] That’s how the light comes in... That’s how I begin [End]
