Rise Again

[Verse 1] Stack of papers, pen in hand, feeling small, Lost job, bills pile high, hope begins to fall. Dreams danced out of reach, tears running free, Heart heavy with doubt, aching to break free. [Chorus] Rise again, from the ashes of defeat, Through the darkness, find the light, bittersweet. In the storms of life, we learn to endure, Shattered pieces mend, hope remains pure. [Verse 2] Schoolyard whispers, laughter that still stings, Once carefree, now weighed down by what life brings. Regrets linger, mistakes now in plain sight, But deep within, a spark refuses flight. [Bridge] Memories of laughter, echoes in the night, Through the tears and fears, we find the strength to fight. Reach within, find the fire that still burns, From the depths of failure, new lessons we learn. [Chorus] Rise again, from the ashes of defeat, Through the darkness, find the light, bittersweet. In the storms of life, we learn to endure, Shattered pieces mend, hope remains pure. [Outro] Embrace the scars, reminders of the past, Courage found in shadows that were once cast. On the journey of redemption, we find, In the depths of despair, our spirits aligned. [Chorus] Rise again, from the ashes of defeat, Through the darkness, find the light, bittersweet. In the storms of life, we learn to endure, Shattered pieces mend, hope remains pure. [Outro] Embrace the scars, reminders of the past, Courage found in shadows that were once cast. On the journey of redemption, we find, In the depths of despair, our spirits aligned.
