Lyric

Ahh…

Midnight on my shoulders

Quiet like a storm before it speaks

Breathing in the silence

Standing on unsteady feet

The dark leans close and whispers

You’re too small to hold this weight

But my pulse is steady thunder

Underneath the doubt and ache

Every shadow tries to name me

Every echo doubts my flame

But there’s a fire I am guarding

And it will not bow to shame

Feel the pressure rising in my chest

Not a cry, just a quiet yes

Every fracture, every scar

Is a map of who we are

Even now, you rise

Through the smoke, through the night

With a steady light in your eyes

No you don’t break

You bend, you breathe, you fight

Even now, you rise

Oh, even now, you rise

Heavy skies above me

But my feet are on the ground

There’s a calm inside the chaos

Where my truest strength is found

I don’t need a scream to prove it

I don’t need to bare my teeth

There’s a power in the quiet

Like a wave beneath the deep

All the nights that tried to close my eyes

Turn to embers, turn to signs

Every doubt that came for me

Built the spine you couldn’t see

Even now, you rise

Through the smoke, through the night

With a steady light in your eyes

No you don’t break

You bend, you breathe, you fight

Even now, you rise

Oh, even now, you rise

Drums in my heartbeat

Truth in my lungs

I have been patient

I have been young

Now I am steady

Now I am flame

Calling my power

Calling my name

Ahh…

Even now, you rise

From the edge of the fire

Carrying quiet desire

No you don’t fall

You gather, you climb

You turn the night into sky

Even now, you rise

Stronger in silence

Bright without violence

Even now… you rise

Ahh…

The night gives way to light

And still… you rise
