[Verse 1] I walked through shadows holding onto light, Carried old echoes through too many nights. But every moment fading in my chest Left me steady, left me open, left me blessed. I’m not holding what was never mine to keep— Just the lessons carved in quiet, running deep. [Pre-Chorus] I’m softer now, but stronger in my core— A steady flame that doesn’t fear the storm. [Chorus] And I rise… quiet as the morning sky, No thunder in my voice, but still I climb. I don’t need the noise to show the strength inside— My heartbeat carries everything I’ve tried. I rise… A gentle truth beneath the scars, Walking forward with the pieces of who we are. [Verse 2] I made peace with endings that never felt complete, Turned broken roads into somewhere I could breathe. Met a version of myself I thought had gone— Turns out the fire kept me standing all along. I let go kindly, even when it burned— Some chapters close to show me what I’ve earned. [Pre-Chorus] The storms I lived still echo in my bones— But I’m not haunted. I’m just finally going home. [Chorus] And I rise… quiet as the morning sky, No thunder in my voice, but still I climb. I don’t need the noise to show the strength inside— My heartbeat carries everything I’ve tried. I rise… A gentle truth beneath the scars, Walking forward with the pieces of who we are. [Bridge] — (Cinematic Soft Rock Lift) Not every goodbye means breaking apart— Some doors close to realign the heart. I kept the love, released the pain— Now the sun feels brighter in the rain. [Final Chorus] So I rise… softer than the world expects, But every breath reminds me I’m not wrecked. Quiet courage, steady steps, an open sky— Strength doesn’t shout. It whispers as I rise.
