[Verse 1] Sirens in my chest again Red sky in a paper town Every headline screaming doom But I won’t bow down Teeth clenched on a broken prayer Ash stuck to my tongue like tar Every doubt a swinging blade Still I reach for stars [Chorus] This is faith under fire I am not backing down Hope in the blast zone Glowing on the ground You can throw me in the flames Watch me walk out alive Faith under fire I burn But I don’t die (hey!) [Verse 2] Steel nerves in a shaking hand Laughing at the loaded gun You can flood me out with fear I’ll breathe like it’s air in my lungs Every scar a battle flag Every crack a little light You want quiet You want calm I was built to fight [Chorus] This is faith under fire I am not backing down Hope in the blast zone Glowing on the ground You can throw me in the flames Watch me walk out alive Faith under fire I burn But I don’t die [Bridge] Shattered glass beneath my feet Still I rise Still I rise (oh yeah) If your storm is all you’ve got Watch this spark defy the sky [Chorus] This is faith under fire I am not backing down Hope in the blast zone Glowing on the ground You can throw me in the flames Watch me walk out alive Faith under fire I burn But I don’t die Faith under fire I burn But I don’t die
