Still I Rise Through Ruin

I'm still trying to find me

through the smoke of what I've been

I wear the weight like a name I didn't choose Cold on

my skin, but I'm learning how to move

Every wrong turn left a mark across the door

Still I reach out,

wanting something more If I break here,

let it open, let it start

There's a quiet fire waking in my heart I can hear the

distance calling I can feel the ground give way But a light

keeps pushing through me Won't let me fade

I'm still trying to find me Through the wreckage,

through the rain

With my heart

beating like thunder

I am rising through the pain If the night keeps closing in

I will carry what

remains

I'm still trying to find me And I'm

not lost again

I have stood where all my old fears learned to speak Felt

them pull hard whenever I got weak

But the cracks let in a better kind of dawn Now the

fight in me is steady,

leaning on Every small breath,

every scar I never planned Turns into strength when I finally stand

If I fall, I'll rise in pieces If I drown,

I'll breathe again There's a future in the distance Calling out my

name I'm still trying to find me Through the wreckage,

through the rain With my heart beating like thunder I am rising

through the pain If the night keeps closing

in I will carry what remains I'm still trying to find me

And I'm not lost again Still trying to find me But I

can see the way
