Verse 1 (soft, minimal, almost whispered) I’m standing in the wreckage of a dream Still breathing, but I barely feel a thing Every promise cracked beneath my feet Every road kept pulling me back here I tried to be unbreakable Tried to never bend But I learned the hard way How it feels to hit the end Pre-Chorus (slow build) The voice in my head says I’m finished But my heart says I’m not done There’s a fire under the silence And it’s starting to run Chorus (anthemic, K-pop demon-hunter energy) Rise — from the dark, from the fire, from the pain Rise — say my name, say my name, say my name Rise — every fall made me stronger than before I rise, I rise, I rise I’m not broken anymore Rise — feel it beating in my chest tonight Rise — I was born for the fight, for the fight Rise — every scar is a crown that I wear I rise, I rise, I rise I’m already there Verse 2 (stronger, more motion) I wore the weight of every “almost” Every door that wouldn’t stay Learned that fear can sound like reason When you’re scared to change But every failure left a mark Carved deeper than my skin I’m not ashamed of where I fell It’s how I learned to win Pre-Chorus (bigger, stacked vocals) I’ve been crawling through the doubt Through the night, through the flame If this path is built of broken glass I’ll walk it anyway Chorus (bigger, louder) Rise — from the dark, from the fire, from the pain Rise — say my name, say my name, say my name Rise — every fall made me stronger than before I rise, I rise, I rise I’m not broken anymore Rise — feel it beating in my chest tonight Rise — I was born for the fight, for the fight Rise — every scar is a crown that I wear I rise, I rise, I rise I’m already there Bridge (drop → slow build → explosion) Let it hurt Let it burn Let it show me what I’m worth I was down I was weak But I stayed when I could leave Every tear, every scar Built the armor round my heart This is not where I collapse This is where I start Final Chorus (full power, chant energy) Rise — hear it echo through the night Rise — I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive Rise — every shadow learned my name I rise, I rise, I rise Watch me take my place Rise — from the ashes, from the chains Rise — I survived, I survived, I survived Rise — this is victory in my veins I rise, I rise, I rise I was born this way Outro (resolute, victorious) I didn’t win because I never fell I won because I stood back up Again And again And again
