Through It All

In the quiet between the knocks… Rain comes down, blood drops The old gravity calls my name I let it ring, I'm not the same... Heavy steps on an empty floor Resistance beats on a weathered door A single chair, an empty hall Every reason, to just stay small Bites at me, like chains of old I hear the whisper, strained and low It mutters, dark wind blows But I belong, where the light turns gold I know who I am I know where I'm from I know why I'm here I know where I'm going Breath by breath, I rise Through it all Through the distance My purpose never dies Doubt runs thick inside my veins But I stand tall, and ignore the pain Fear sits heavy in my chest A stones weight, that just won’t rest This fight, is for me It's mine alone No one will come to save me No one will carry me home It's up to me, win or lose Fight or flight, I have to choose I know who I am I know where I'm from I know why I'm here I know where I'm going Breath by breath, I rise Through it all Through the distance My purpose never dies Let the resistance speak its piece Let it scream, and let it weep I won’t fight, I’ll just walk through Every layer that isn’t true Until it's clear, and only my calling remains Until my soul remembers its true name I was never meant to just exist I was meant, for more than this In the room, where light shines divine I'll unclench my fists I'll claim what's mine I know who I am I know where I'm from I know why I'm here I know where I'm going Breath by breath, I rise Through it all Through the distance My purpose never dies
