They took my trust and broke it clean Like glass shattered in a midnight scene But ashes fall and seeds take root ...Watch me grow in my steel-toed boots You thought I'd fade You thought I'd sink But here I stand What do you think? I rise again I rise again From the fire From the pain I rise again I rise again You won't see me break Not now Not then Your words were daggers Sharp and cold But I'm not made of paper I'm made of gold Every scar's a story Every bruise a map To the place where I find my strength at last You left me low You thought I'd drown But I'm the tide that pulls you down I rise again I rise again From the fire From the pain I rise again I rise again Stronger now I break the chain
