Get Up

(Verse 1) Woke up this morning with the world on my chest, Heavy heart, troubled thoughts, barely getting any rest. Streets are crowded, but I'm walking alone, Carrying battles, scars that cut to the bone. (Pre-Chorus) But I see a sliver of light through the gray, Whispers of strength that tell me to stay, Push through the shadows, fight through the night, Hold on to dreams, keep my hopes in sight. (Chorus) I'm rising up from the ashes, I will not drown, Breaking the chains that once held me bound. From the depths of despair to the heights of the skies, I'll soar on the wings of my dreams as I rise. (Verse 2) Faced with the cold, and the harsh city winds, Each step I take, a new chapter begins. The echoes of doubt, they fade away, Replaced by the voices that urge me to stay. (Pre-Chorus) The horizon calls with a promise of new, Colors of courage, a palette of true. I'll paint my journey with strokes bold and bright, Out of the darkness and into the light. (Chorus) I'm rising up from the ashes, I will not drown, Breaking the chains that once held me bound. From the depths of despair to the heights of the skies, I'll soar on the wings of my dreams as I rise. (Bridge) No mountain too steep, nor ocean too wide, With every heartbeat, I'm finding my stride. The world may push, but I’ll push back harder, My spirit's a flame that they can't put out. (Chorus) I'm rising up from the ashes, I will not drown, Breaking the chains that once held me bound. From the depths of despair to the heights of the skies, I'll soar on the wings of my dreams as I rise. (Outro) So here I stand, with my face to the sun, The past behind, new days have begun. For every tear that once fell to the ground, I'm stronger now, and I'm homeward bound.
