[Verse 1] I wore my hurt like lace Smiled through the break of day They left me in the dark I learned my name that way I kept the little flame Under a folded hand You thought I’d fade to dust I made a better plan [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the air That’s me coming back Step by step, I rise Out the wreck, out the black [Chorus] I rise, I rise From the ashes I rise, I rise You can’t keep this Fire in my veins Gold on my skin Say my name again Watch me begin [Verse 2] I picked the bones apart Found jewels inside the mess What you called my ending Was my deepest test I stitched my heart with steel And wore my scars like rings Now every wound I kept Turns into wings [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the air That’s me coming back Step by step, I rise Out the wreck, out the black [Chorus] I rise, I rise From the ashes I rise, I rise You can’t keep this Fire in my veins Gold on my skin Say my name again Watch me begin [Bridge] No more begging at your door No more sleeping on the floor I was never made to kneel I was made for more [Final Chorus] I rise, I rise From the ashes I rise, I rise You can’t keep this Fire in my veins Gold on my skin Say my name again Watch me begin I rise, I rise Hear me now I am the flame And I wear the crown
