[Verse 1] Healing takes so long, So long. Once upon a time she didn’t want to survive, feeling broken and sorry for herself, and then she saw Robert. There was more riding on her recovery, She realized with each passing day. Bare feet on a cold floor, Senses moving along her spine. [Chorus] She rises from the ashes, Stronger every single day. borrowing courage and with passion, She's finding her own way. [Verse 2] From stories she gathered, both heard and unspoken, She was the sole civilian survivor . Did that make her lucky? (no) Did it fill her with guilt? (Maybe) She couldn't cry for herself anymore, her determination grows. First thing she had was movement, Then she could feel her toes. [Chorus] She rises from the ashes, Stronger every single day. With courage and borrowed passion, She's finding her own way. [Bridge] Robert raised her goalpost, With his survival and that stupid bet. they couldn't keep him still, He kept ripping out his stitches, That was going to kill him yet, But with nurses all around her, for a single step she prayed. Yes, Her body was still broken , But Hunter was going to walk today. [Outro][Spoken quietly] Rising from the ashes, Stronger every single day. Faking courage with borrowed passion, She's finding her own way.
