I rise above, through the fire and pain
I rise above, through the tears and the chains
I rise above, with the scars as my crown
I rise above, and I'm never coming down
They pushed me to the edge, tried to tear me apart
Left me bleeding in the dark, but I've got a stronger heart
Every lie they fed me, every scar that they made
Fuel for fire, turning pain into my blade
Shout it out loud
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
You turned your back on me, let me face the storm
But I'm forging my path, I'm breaking the norm
Every wound you gave me, every false embrace
Shout it out loud
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
You thought you'd break me
You thought I'd fall
But I'm a phoenix
Rising from it all
You tried to shatter
You tried to bring me low
But I'm a warrior
I've got my own glow
You tried to shatter
You tried to bring me low
But I'm a warrior
I've got my own glow
Shout it out loud
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
Shout it out loud
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now you know I'm here to stay
I rise above, through the tears and the chains
I rise above, with the scars as my crown
I rise above, and I'm never coming down
Left me bleeding in the dark, but I've got a stronger heart
Every lie they fed me, every scar that they made
Fuel for fire, turning pain into my blade
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
But I'm forging my path, I'm breaking the norm
Every wound you gave me, every false embrace
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
You thought I'd fall
But I'm a phoenix
Rising from it all
You tried to bring me low
But I'm a warrior
I've got my own glow
You tried to bring me low
But I'm a warrior
I've got my own glow
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now I'm reaching for the light
No more chains
No more shadows in my way
I ascend
And now you know I'm here to stay
I'm the leader of this fight
I've survived
Now you know I'm here to stay
