Verse 1 Cold wind blowin' through a cracked-up room Dreams feel distant underneath the moon Everybody told me I should learn my place But I saw somethin' different every time I looked away Had my back to the wall, had my face in the rain Learned real quick life don't care about your pain Every step uphill felt twice as steep But the fire in my chest never fell asleep Pre-Chorus I hear the echoes of every mistake Every promise that I swore I wouldn't break The weight keeps pullin' but I won't fade [CHORUS] I was born in the storm Raised in the fight Learned how to stand When the world said goodnight Every scar, every wound Every road that I crossed Built the person I became Out of everything I lost [ACT II — THE CLIMB] Verse 2 Years pass slow when you're carryin' doubt Tryna find a way in while they're countin' you out Every closed door became another test Every setback taught me how to be my best I got tired of waiting for the stars to align Started buildin' my future one brick at a time Now the voice in my head ain't fear no more It's a battle drum poundin' like never before Build-Up Hands up Stand tall One chance That's all No fear No chains No brakes No shame One heart One soul One path One goal If destiny's watching— THEN WATCH ME GO [DROP SECTION] (Insert absolutely criminal levels of riddim here) [ACT III — AFTER THE FALL] Verse 3 I've seen darkness wear a hundred different names Seen good people lose themselves to the flames But every time I hit the ground face-first I found out gettin' back up always hurts worse Still I rise Still I stand Still I fight Still I am Everything they said I couldn't be Standing right here looking back at me [BREAKDOWN] When the lights go out And the road gets cold And the world says quit And your heart says no Keep moving Keep breathing Keep chasing the sound Cause the strongest souls Are the ones that were broken down [FINAL CHORUS] I was born in the storm Raised in the fight Learned how to roar When they wanted me quiet Every scar became armor Every loss became fuel Every battle taught lessons Every wound made me stronger [FINAL BUILD] WE DON'T BREAK WE DON'T RUN WE DON'T STOP 'TIL IT'S DONE WE DON'T FALL WE DON'T FADE WE BECOME WHAT WE'RE MADE WE DON'T BREAK WE DON'T RUN WE DON'T STOP 'TIL IT'S DONE IF THE WORLD WANTS WAR— THEN HERE WE COME [OUTRO] The rain still falls The wind still howls The storm never ended It never had to Cause I stopped waiting For the skies to clear And learned How to walk through thunder
