I Rise, I Rise

Intro – eerie harpsichord melody, vinyl crackle, distant choir pad) Yeah… Cold keys echo… They left me behind… ⸻ (Verse 1 – beat drops, crisp drums, harpsichord riff loop) Left in the rearview, ghost in the frame Dust on my name, but I carried the flame Harpsichord keys like a clock on my fate Ticking through nights I was learning to wait No handouts, just silence and doubt World moved on while they counted me out Built from the bottom where shadows get cast Now every note hit like a strike from the past ⸻ (Pre-Chorus – beat strips back, harpsichord arpeggios, rising pad) From the dirt, from the doubt, from the weight on me Every loss, every scar carved a way for me Hear the keys, hear the past calling out to me— ⸻ (Chorus – sung, melodic, full instrumentation, layered harmonies + harpsichord accents) I rise from the ashes they left behind Through the smoke, through the dark, now I redefine Every fall, every scar was a part of me Now I’m everything they said I’d never be I rise, I rise—hear the fire inside Through the flames, through the pain, I revive ⸻ (Verse 2 – harder beat, deeper bass, sharper harpsichord stabs) Now I’m stepping like I never lost ground Every setback turned a king from a crown Hear the keys cut sharp through the bassline drive Like a past life pulse that kept me alive They don’t see what it took just to stand Every broken piece rebuilt by my hand Now I move with a force they can’t deny Every note that I play is a reason why ⸻ (Bridge – half-time, haunting harpsichord solo, airy vocals) (soft, echoing) Bury me deep, I’ll rise through the sound Every lost piece comes back around Hear that melody breaking the ground… ⸻ (Final Chorus – anthemic, big drums, choir + harpsichord flourish) I rise from the ashes they left behind Through the smoke, through the dark, now I redefine Every fall, every scar was a part of me Now I’m everything they said I’d never be I rise, I rise—watch me come alive Through the fire, through the fall—I survive ⸻ (Outro – fading harpsichord, soft choir, vinyl crackle returns) Yeah… Still playing those keys… Still rising…
