Stitch by Stitch (Threaded Hollow Rising)

[Verse 1] Ashes still rest in my hands But I am learning what they mean Not everything that burns is lost Some things become what they’ve been I walk through silence, thread by thread Through what was broken, what was said And in the quiet, I begin To stitch the light back in my skin [Pre-Chorus] One step forward, then another Healing taught by earth and mother Not all at once, not all at once Still I rise, still I rise [Chorus] Stitch by stitch, I rise again Through every loss, through every end Not all healed, but I remain I am the light inside the pain Stitch by stitch, I find my way Through every night into the day Soft as wool and strong as steel I am becoming what I feel [Verse 2] There is no rush to be complete Even broken hearts still beat Every tear I’ve ever known Has taught me how to stand alone I gather pieces, slow and true The way old hands were meant to do Nothing lost is ever gone It only learns to carry on [Pre-Chorus] And I feel the turning tide Something steady deep inside Not finished, not undone Still becoming, one by one [Final Chorus] Stitch by stitch, I rise again Not at the end, but in-between Every scar becomes a seam Holding stronger than it seems Stitch by stitch, I rise in light Through the darkest woven night I am not what I have lost I am what I’ve become because Stitch by stitch, I rise again Through every fall, through every end Soft as wool and strong as steel I am becoming what I feel [Outro] Not all healed… still whole… still rising…
