[Verse 1] I wake up sore, still I rise Tie my shoes, lock in my eyes Hit the weights till my arms shake One more rep for the old me's sake I don't want easy, I want real Want a hard heart made steel by steel Sweat on my shirt, scars on my pride I'm learning how to stand inside [Pre-Chorus] And when I feel weak I hear that call Don't run from the mirror Face it all [Chorus] Iron in my hands Fire in my chest I'm becoming more I'm giving my best Iron in my hands Stand when I can (I'm becoming more) A better man [Verse 2] If somebody's burden gets too wide I move that weight, I stay beside Carry the bags, lift the load Walk with them down a longer road And when my mind gets loud at night I open that book and read the light Page by page, let it shape my frame Teach me to love, correct my name [Pre-Chorus] And when I feel small I kneel and pray The Word keeps cutting Through the gray [Chorus] Iron in my hands Fire in my chest I'm becoming more I'm giving my best Iron in my hands Stand when I can (I'm becoming more) A better man [Bridge] Not perfect yet Still under the build But I'm not quitting I'm staying still For every fall I choose to rise For every tear I keep these eyes on higher things [Final Chorus] Iron in my hands Fire in my chest I'm becoming more I'm giving my best Iron in my hands Stand when I can (I'm becoming more) A better man Iron in my hands I won't back down (I'm becoming more) I am strong now
