[Verse 1] I wore the dirt like proof Kept my head in the floor Every door felt sealed Every prayer felt sore Hands in my pockets Heart full of grit I was so low down I could taste it [Pre-Chorus] Then the dark cracked open Just enough for me I heard one hard truth In the debris [Chorus] And the first step Toward my victory Was the one I took At rock bottom At rock bottom I stood up bleeding And that changed me [Verse 2] I learned the weight of days When you’ve lost your name Had to face the mirror And call my shame Slow was still moving Small was still mine One rough step forward At the edge of time [Pre-Chorus] Then the dark cracked open Just enough for me I heard one hard truth In the debris [Chorus] And the first step Toward my victory Was the one I took At rock bottom At rock bottom I stood up bleeding And that changed me [Bridge] I don’t praise the fall But I honor the climb Every scar got crowded By a stronger line From the dust I rose Not clean, not fast Just one step, one breath And I made it last [Final Chorus] And the first step Toward my victory Was the one I took At rock bottom At rock bottom I stood up bleeding And that changed me At rock bottom I found my way
