[Verse 1] I knew the room by every wall Counted the cracks above my bed Kept one small match inside my coat And called it hope inside my head I wore the night like borrowed clothes Too tired to ask when it would end Then morning found my open hands And placed a pulse beneath my skin [Pre-Chorus] I was not made to disappear I learned my name through all that fear [Chorus] I came through the dark With a spark in my heart Now the door is wide And I’m stepping outside I came through the dark Every scar left a mark Not a chain, not a sign I am here, I am alive [Verse 2] The old street still remembers rain The rusted gate still leans the same But I don’t bow to what I knew There’s room enough for something new I hear the ones who held me up In every breath I’m taking now A thousand quiet hands behind The strength I’m finally letting out [Pre-Chorus] I was not made to disappear I found my voice and brought it here [Chorus] I came through the dark With a spark in my heart Now the door is wide And I’m stepping outside I came through the dark Every scar left a mark Not a chain, not a sign I am here, I am alive [Bridge] If the night returns someday I will know the road I made There is fire beneath the floor There is mercy at the door I can bend and still remain I can grieve and choose my name What was heavy taught me how To lift my face and breathe out now [Final Chorus] I came through the dark With a spark in my heart Now the door is wide And I’m stepping outside I came through the dark Every scar left a mark Not a chain, not a sign I am here, I am alive [Outro] I am here I am alive I am here And I rise
