[Verse 1] I kissed the mud goodbye With a mouth full of rain My name was a small thing Buried under the weight I learned the shape of night From the cracks in the floor Still I kept one bright spark Hidden deep in my core [Pre-Chorus] And I, I felt it turn A little flame in the dark You can bend, you can break But you can't drown a spark [Chorus] I rise, I rise Out of the deep blue I rise, I rise Nothing can hold you I rise, I rise Hear my heartbeat glow From the bottom, baby Watch me bloom slow [Verse 2] Stone on my back at dawn Dust in my tangled hair I wore a thousand no's Like they were always there Then came a narrow beam Cutting through all that gray I took my first small breath And I made room for day [Pre-Chorus] And I, I felt it turn A little flame in the dark You can bend, you can break But you can't drown a spark [Chorus] I rise, I rise Out of the deep blue I rise, I rise Nothing can hold you I rise, I rise Hear my heartbeat glow From the bottom, baby Watch me bloom slow [Bridge] Let the old shadows fall Let them slip off my skin What was meant to keep me low Only taught me how to win [Final Chorus] I rise, I rise Out of the deep blue I rise, I rise Nothing can hold you I rise, I rise Hear my heartbeat glow From the bottom, baby Watch me bloom slow I rise, I rise Up where the wild winds go From the bottom, baby Watch me bloom slow
