Iron Petal

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

{delicate fingerpicked

acoustic guitar intro} {warm subtle cello swells} These paper walls have

seen the rain

But my roots hold deeper than the

pain Cracks on the pavement,

scars on my soul Every little piece helped me grow whole Didn't

know this kind of quiet Held a strength I couldn't find {intimate

fingerpicked pattern} Built these walls up just to feel safe Found my

power in this space I learned to bend without a break In

every breath that I reclaimed {rhythmic guitar buildup} No longer waiting for

the sun

I became the light I run to Standing taller than the rain

I don't need a hand to hold my ground

I am whole even when nobody's around Through every storm,

through all the noise

I finally reclaimed my voice {full acoustic band entry with sweeping strings}

This quiet strength is all my own A garden grown from weathered

stone The winter winds can call my name

They cannot blow away the flame

{reflective acoustic strumming}

I gathered up the broken pieces

Built a sanctuary out of dust

The circumstance was just a chapter,

not the book

In my own heart,

I place my trust

{melodic acoustic build-up}

No longer waiting for the sun

I became the light I run to Standing taller than the rain

I don't need a hand to hold my ground

I am whole even when nobody's around Through every storm,

through all the noise

I finally reclaimed my voice {grand emotional peak} A garden grown from

weathered stone... Taller than the rain,

stronger than the pain.

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Standing strong, all on my own.

cello notes} {ambient room tail}
