Lyrics
Rise Like Fire
[Verse 1]
Like a phoenix I will rise, rise from these ashes
Shaking off the smoke of broken pasts and scratches
Leaving all the dust behind my wounded name
Stepping through the embers, unafraid of the flame
Every scar's a story written in the night
Every tear a spark that taught my heart to fight
Out of suffering the strongest souls are born
Through the longest nights we're forged before the dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
In the shadows I found light
In my weakness I found might
[Chorus]
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
Leaving yesterday behind
For a brighter future I'll find
Through the smoke and through the pain
I am stronger in the flame
Like a phoenix I will rise
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
[Verse 2]
Massive hearts are tempered hard by scars
Battle lines like constellations, shining stars
Every mark a map of where I've been
Proof that I have lost--and still I win
When the world tried to break my wings
It only taught my soul to sing
From the wreckage of my fears
I built hope from fallen years
[Pre-Chorus]
In the shadows I found light
In my weakness I found might
[Chorus]
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
Leaving yesterday behind
For a brighter future I'll find
Through the smoke and through the pain
I am stronger in the flame
Like a phoenix I will rise
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
[Bridge]
Like the Thunderbird in the storm
With lightning in my veins, reborn
In times of darkness, there is a flame
A guiding light that knows my name
In times of fear, a strength appears
To guard my heart, to dry my tears
I am the storm, I am the sky
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
[Chorus]
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
Through the flood and through the fire
No more chained to who I was
I'm becoming what I must
From the ashes I ascend
This is not the end
Like a phoenix I will rise
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
[outro]
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
I will rise like fire, higher and higher
