Born To Rise

I used to know the sound of silence… The kind that screams

inside your head.

Every night I asked myself,

“How much more can I take?” (heartbeat)

But I’m still here.

I walked through shadows with my head down,

Trying to disappear.

Every word you threw like a weapon

Still echoes in my ears.

I gave you every piece of me,

You left me with the scars.

I thought the darkness was the ending— But it showed me who

we are. I feel the fire underneath my skin,

Something is changing from within.

You thought I’d stay down on the floor— But I’m not yours

anymore.

I was lost inside the silence,

I was fading in the dark,

Every wound you left behind me Left another burning spark.

You can’t stop what you created— I WAS BORN TO RISE!

You can push me to the edge,

But I won’t apologize.

You thought you broke me— YOU MADE ME UNSTOPPABLE!

WATCH ME RISE! WATCH ME RISE!

I WAS BORN TO— RISE!

(argh!) UNSTOPPABLE!

UN!

STOP!

PA! BLE! UNSTOPPABLE!

UN!

STOP!

PA!

BLE! I’M UNSTOPPABLE!

Now I walk through the fire Like I was born in the

flame. Every scar that you gave me Has become part of my

name. You wanted me afraid,

You wanted me to crawl.

But every time you pushed me down I learned to climb the

wall. You thought I needed saving—

I SAVED MYSELF!

Maybe I was never broken… Maybe I was becoming.

Every tear, every scar,

Every night I spent running— Was leading me here.

I don’t need your forgiveness.

I don’t need your approval.

I finally know who I am.

You tried to bury me— I CAME BACK STRONGER!

You tried to silence me— I’LL SCREAM EVEN LOUDER!

You wanted me on my knees— LOOK AT ME NOW!

(go!) I’M UNSTOPPABLE! UNSTOPPABLE!

UNSTOPPABLE!

I was lost inside the silence,

Now I’m louder than the dark!

Every wound you left behind me Turned into a beating heart!

You can’t stop what you created— I WAS BORN TO RISE!

You can push me to the edge— I’LL NEVER CLOSE MY EYES!

You thought you broke me— YOU MADE ME UNSTOPPABLE!

WATCH ME RISE! WATCH ME RISE!

I WAS BORN TO— RISE!

(un-stop-pa-ble!) UNSTOPPABLE!

You can’t stop… What you created.

(screamed) UNSTOPPABLE!
