[Verse 1] I kept the house too still Mended my shirt by hand Counted the cracks in the floor Like I could understand My hands were full of dust My heart was full of rain I wore the weight for years Like it was part of my name [Pre-Chorus] But the morning came Through the drawn curtain line One small breath at a time I started to climb [Chorus] Rise up slowly Rise up slowly One more step, I'm here Rise up slowly Rise up slowly I can taste the air [Verse 2] I learned to leave the door Open at the frame Let the cold come in Let it call my name I stopped asking why Every scar was mine Some days healing looks Like getting through the night [Pre-Chorus] And the hurt still speaks But it speaks less loud I'm not where I was I'm not going down [Chorus] Rise up slowly Rise up slowly One more step, I'm here Rise up slowly Rise up slowly I can taste the air [Bridge] If I fall again I won't call it loss If I shake in the dark I'll still cross that road 'Cause I know this body Knows how to return From the broken edge To the place I learn [Final Chorus] Rise up slowly Rise up slowly One more step, I'm here Rise up slowly Rise up slowly I can taste the air Rise up slowly Rise up slowly I am not erased Rise up slowly Rise up slowly Look what I became
