Rise Again

Lyrics

I gave you all my heart, every beat and every scar,
We were dancing in the dark, thought you’d be my northern star,
But you turned away, walked out the door,
Left me broken, left me wanting more.

I cried a thousand nights, but I’m not cryin’ no more,
I’m pickin’ up the pieces, throwin’ ’em to the floor,
The fire’s burnin’ bright, yeah, I’m gonna shine,
Ain’t no shadow strong enough to keep me in line.

You took my love, you left me bruised,
But I’m stronger now, I’ve got nothing to lose,
You can’t break a heart that’s learned to beat,
Now I’m takin’ back the rhythm, feel the heat!

I’m gonna rise, rise again,
Feel the thunder in my veins, oh, yeah,
I’m gonna dance through the rain,
You won’t hold me down, you won’t see me bend.

I’m gonna shine, shine so bright,
Like a phoenix through the night, alright,
You thought you’d break me, thought I’d fall,
But I’m standin’ tall, yeah, I’m standin’ tall!

Your words were like a knife, cutting deep into my soul,
But I’m stitching up the wounds, taking back control,
Every step I take is a step I own,
You ain’t the king, I’m buildin’ my own throne.

You thought I’d stay down, thought I’d fade away,
But I’m a fighter, baby, and I’m here to stay,
I found my strength in the tears I shed,
Now I’m livin’ for me, no regrets, no dread.

You took my love, you left me cold,
But I’m burnin’ hotter, watch me unfold,
You can’t dim a light that’s made to be free,
This is my time, now just wait and see!

I’m gonna rise, rise again,
Feel the thunder in my veins, oh, yeah,
I’m gonna dance through the rain,
You won’t hold me down, you won’t see me bend.

I’m gonna shine, shine so bright,
Like a phoenix through the night, alright,
You thought you’d break me, thought I’d fall,
But I’m standin’ tall, yeah, I’m standin’ tall!

Oh, every scar’s a story, every tear’s a song,
You thought you knew me, but you got me wrong,
I’m not a victim, I’m a warrior queen,
Gonna show the world just what I mean!

I’m gonna rise, rise again,
Feel the power, feel the pain,
I’m not afraid, I’m not the same,
You’ll remember, you’ll know my name!

I’m gonna rise, rise again,
Feel the thunder in my veins, oh, yeah,
I’m gonna dance through the rain,
You won’t hold me down, you won’t see me bend.

I’m gonna shine, shine so bright,
Like a phoenix through the night, alright,
You thought you’d break me, thought I’d fall,
But I’m standin’ tall, yeah, I’m standin’ tall!

I’m standin’ tall, can’t break me, no,
I’m standin’ tall, let the whole world know,
I found my voice, found my song,
This love is lost, but I’m movin’ on!
