THE DAY BOWS TO ME Before the sun even thinks about climbing the sky, I’m already awake with a fire behind my eyes. The world still sleeps, but my spirit doesn’t wait — I rise like a storm breaking open the gate.I’ve carried the weight of nights that tried to drown me, But every shadow only sharpened what’s around me. I don’t rise for permission — I rise because I’m called, By the echo of a woman who refuses to fall.Pre‑ChorusI breathe in the thunder and let it crown my spine, Every heartbeat saying, “The next move is mine.” I’m not here to survive — I’m here to ascend, And the dawn knows better than to stand in my way again.ChorusThe day bows to me when I stand tall, I’m the storm that answers every time I’m called. My heart is a war drum shaking the walls — I rise, I rise, I rise. I’m the fire that refuses to dim, The force that breaks and rebuilds from within. Every sunrise whispers, “You were born to win.” I rise, I rise, I rise.Verse 2I’ve been underestimated, counted out, dismissed — But pressure makes diamonds, and I’m proof they exist. I don’t chase validation — I summon my own light, And it burns so bright the darkness forgets how to fight.I walk with the power of every scar I survived, A testament that I don’t just endure — I thrive. Let the winds roar louder, let the world test me again — I’ve already risen from storms that would shatter lesser women.Pre‑Chorus 2I don’t fear the climb — I fear standing still, I’d rather break open than break my will. So I lift my chin to the sky’s command, And walk like the earth remembers my hands.ChorusThe day bows to me when I stand tall, I’m the storm that answers every time I’m called. My heart is a war drum shaking the walls — I rise, I rise, I rise. I’m the fire that refuses to dim, The force that breaks and rebuilds from within. Every sunrise whispers, “You were born to win.” I rise, I rise, I rise.BridgeLet the heavens watch as I reclaim my name, Let the winds carry the truth of my flame. I am not fragile — I am forged. I am not lost — I am restored. And when the world tries to quiet my roar, I rise higher, I rise harder, I rise even more The day bows to me when I stand tall, A Valkyrie rising as the night withdraws. My heart is a war drum shaking the walls — I rise, I rise, I rise. I’m the fire that refuses to dim, The force that breaks and rebuilds from within. Every sunrise whispers, “You were born to win.” I rise — I rise —
