[Intro – quiet, strings + heartbeat drum] Lying on the floor, thought my fight was all gone, Shadows pressed heavy, the night felt so long. But a whisper inside says, “Get up, don’t die,” You won’t lose the war if you give one more try. [Verse 1 – confessional, raw] I’ve broken in silence, I’ve drowned in my head, Carried the weight like it wanted me dead. Every fall is a question: “Will you stay down this time?” But I’ve trained my soul to respond, “No, I still climb.” I don’t need a crown, I don’t need a stage, Just blood in the dust and strength I will rage. The floor is a teacher, the scar is a mark, That proves I kept moving when the night was so dark. [Chorus - slightly upbeat but still raw and soft] I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve drowned in the rain, Still I keep moving through the ache and the pain. The night may be endless, the sky may be black, But I’ve learned when I fall, I will always come back. [Verse 2 – blended raw + cinematic] I’ve hit the floor. I've felt like shit, But I still get up, I refuse to quit. Life fucks you up, it’ll grind you down, But I learned how to fight even while on the ground. I’ve gone through hell with the weight on my chest, Thought the darkness would win, thought I’d never find rest. But the floor’s not a coffin, it won’t take me whole, I crawl ‘til I stand, I reclaim control. [Chorus – repeat, bigger, backup vocals] I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve drowned in the rain, Still I keep moving through the ache and the pain. The night may be endless, the sky may seem black, But I’ve learned when I fall, I will always come back. [Bridge – battlefield chant / pounding toms + strings] Fall — rise. Fall — rise. Fall — rise. This is how I stay alive. [Final Chorus – chorus of male vocals] I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve drowned in the rain, Still I keep moving through the ache and the pain. The night may be endless, the sky may feel black, But each time I fall, I will always come back. [Outro – stripped back, strings + faint drumbeat] I don’t fear the fall, it’s where I begin, The floor’s not the end… it’s where I rise again.
