Rise Through Ruin

I kept a

match

in the rain Carried my

name through

pain (oh)

Three winters bent my shoulders

Bills stacked high by the door I learned to sleep with worry

Then wake and fight once more

My hands were cracked and empty

But I still held the line (ahhhh)

I nearly broke on the road back home

But something in my chest kept burning

Every scar became a stepping stone

Every loss kept turning (ooh)

I’m still standing, I’m still here After all those broken years Raise

my heart above the fear I won’t give up,

I won’t disappear (yeah)

I sold the things I treasured

To keep the morning warm

Friends became like lighthouses Guiding me through the storm I took the

long way forward

One breath, one step,

one mile (mm)

If the night comes back again

Let it find me on my feet

I have carried heavier things

Than the weight in front of me

(oh, oh)

I’m still standing, I’m still here After all those broken years Raise

my heart above the fear I won’t give up,

I won’t disappear

I’m still rising, clear and loud

Singing hope

above the crowd

(yeah, oh)

I kept a match in the rain

Now it burns like morning

I’m still here (oh)
