Alive and Rising

I used to bend but now I break these walls

No more shadows holding me down

Every scar tells a story of fight

I'm stepping into the light

(oh yeah)

Heart was heavy but the fire's burning bright

Wings unfolding in the dead of night

I'm rising up, breaking free

No more chains, just victory

Heart on fire, soul unchained I won't look back again (big vocal

runs)

From the ashes I am born again

Stronger now than I have ever been

Every tear becomes a river of gold

Watch me claim what I'm owed (yeah)

Heart was heavy but the fire's burning bright

Wings unfolding in the dead of night

I'm rising up, breaking free

No more chains, just victory

Heart on fire, soul unchained I won't look back again

(even bigger)

Through the storm

I found my flame

No more silence, I call my name

I'm rising up,

breaking free

No more chains, just victory

Heart on fire, soul unchained I won't look back again (fly high)

Rising... rising... (fade with harmonies)
