[Verse 1] I was walking through the ruins of a house I used to know Every window was a memory, letting in a cold, cold blow The paint was peeling prophecies, the dust was on the floor I'd forgotten what I was even looking for I stood there in the silence, a ghost in my own past Thinking every single beautiful thing was never meant to last [Pre-Chorus] But then a crack of sunlight hit a picture on the wall A faded photograph, reminding me of when I stood ten feet tall And I felt a sudden tremor, a whisper deep inside [Chorus] What's this fire returning, burning in my soul? It's mending all the broken parts and making me feel whole! It's a forgotten melody, a truth I used to speak! It's the strength I thought I'd surrendered, coming back to me this week! Oh, this feeling, it's a long-lost friend! My faith is rising up again, it's breathing once again! [Verse 2] I've been listening to the cynics, I've been feeding on the doubt Letting all the noise outside tell me what my life's about I traded in my compass for a map I couldn't read Planting every single one of my hopes on a bitter seed But that little spark you fanned, it started growing like a vine Pushing back against the shadows, proving it was still divine [Pre-Chorus] And I'm not gonna silence it, no I'm not gonna pretend That this isn't the beginning of a long and broken end 'Cause it feels like coming home after a million lonely years [Chorus] What's this fire returning, burning in my soul? It's mending all the broken parts and making me feel whole! It's a forgotten melody, a truth I used to speak! It's the strength I thought I'd surrendered, coming back to me this week! Oh, this feeling, it's a long-lost friend! My faith is rising up again, it's breathing once again! [Bridge] I can feel the foundation getting stronger down below The walls are standing taller now, with a new and steady glow It's not a blind devotion, it's a choice I'm making clear To hold on to the light and banish all the fear This is my redemption, my own personal creed! [Chorus] What's this fire returning, burning in my soul?! It's mending all the broken parts and making me feel whole! It's a forgotten melody, a truth I used to speak! It's the strength I thought I'd surrendered, coming back to me this week! Oh, this feeling, it's a long-lost friend! My faith is rising up again, it's breathing once again! [Outro] Rising up again... Yeah, I feel it in my hands... Breathing once again... This is who I am...
