[Verse 1] Morning hit hard Cold tiles, pale face I took the long road To the edge of the race My body said sit down I said not today I learned how to breathe Through the worst of the waves [Pre-Chorus] One more step Then another one I was bent But I wasn't done [Chorus] Gut check glory I made it through Gut check glory Nothing owns you (I rise) (I rise) Gut check glory I'm coming back [Verse 2] Soup on the stove Water by the bed Quiet little victories Running through my head I kept my shoes on Even when I shook Small wins stacked up Like chapters in a book [Pre-Chorus] One more step Then another one I was bent But I wasn't done [Chorus] Gut check glory I made it through Gut check glory Nothing owns you (I rise) (I rise) Gut check glory I'm coming back [Bridge] Hands on the counter Eyes on the light I survived the bad hours I earned this night [Final Chorus] Gut check glory I made it through Gut check glory Nothing owns you (I rise) (I rise) Gut check glory I'm coming back
