Lyric

You came in carrying weather

Under your coat and your eyes

I set a cup on the table

You let the silence decide

Your hands were tired from the fighting

Your smile was stitched from the day

Still, you kept walking a little

Like pain was learning to fade

And I saw the spark

Under the ash

I saw your name

Come back at last

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

One brave step at a time

You turn that hurt into light

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

Every scar tells a story

And yours is learning to fly

Morning arrived on the window

Gold on the floor, in your hair

You laughed like a door in springtime

Swinging wide into air

I watched you gather your pieces

No grand parade, no disguise

Just you and the road in front of you

And that fire in your eyes

And I heard the calm

Inside your chest

I heard your heart

Say, "I can rest"

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

One brave step at a time

You turn that hurt into light

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

Every scar tells a story

And yours is learning to fly

If the ground shakes

If the night leans in

You are not the shadow

You are the dawn within

Let the miles change

Let the tears dry slow

You were built for the farther road

You already know

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

One brave step at a time

You turn that hurt into light

Across the world, you rise

Across the world, you shine

Every scar tells a story

And yours is learning to fly
