[Verse 1] I learned the weight of winter stone The miles that leave you walking alone But every crack let daylight through And every loss made room for truth [Pre-Chorus] When the road gave way beneath my feet I found a pulse that would not retreat [Chorus] I rise with the dawn in my chest I carry the fire through the test Though the walls fall down, though the skies turn gray I will stand, I will stay From the dust, from the deep, from the years I survived I am here, I am whole, I am still alive [Verse 2] I kept your letter beside the door Its folded edges worn from before It said, “Keep going,” in your hand So I kept walking, as you planned [Pre-Chorus] When the road gave way beneath my feet I found a pulse that would not retreat [Chorus] I rise with the dawn in my chest I carry the fire through the test Though the walls fall down, though the skies turn gray I will stand, I will stay From the dust, from the deep, from the years I survived I am here, I am whole, I am still alive [Bridge] Let the hard rain come Let the old names fade I have crossed the dark I have made my way One breath, one step One promise kept [Final Chorus] I rise with the dawn in my chest I carry the fire through the test Though the walls fall down, though the skies turn gray I will stand, I will stay From the dust, from the deep, from the years I survived I am here, I am whole, I am still alive [Outro] Still alive I will stand, I will stay
