OUT OF THE WRECK I RISE Lyrics

i am at war with my absent mind
fighting for peace and it’s hard to find
maybe tomorrow will be okay
out of the wreck i rise today

it’s easier to be medicated
reality is i’m uneducated
black or it’s white and i’ll call it gray
out of the wreck i rise today

fighting political ignorance
sick of this religious impotence
careful i don’t put it on display
out of the wreck i rise today

i want your body- i want your legs
i want your blood running through my veins
i want you to breathe every word i say
i refuse to live this way

i want to love the people you came to save
take possession of the love you gave
i want to believe cause i know someday
out of this world you’re taking me

i am aware that im not alone
fighting a war a little close to home
maybe tomorrow will be okay
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise today
out of the wreck i rise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
