We Rise Again

Rain on the station glass Shoes on the yellow line I kept my hands in my sleeves Told myself, "I'm fine" Crowded train, quiet heart Same old ache in my chest But I held on to the edge Like I knew what comes next Every crack, every scar Little by little, I learned If I fall into the dark I can still return We rise again We rise again Through the ache, through the bend We rise again We rise again We rise again Hold my name, take my hand We rise again (again) Faded notes in my bag Names I left in the dust There were nights I stood still When the road felt too much But the sky kept opening Even after the storm And the girl I buried deep Started singing once more Every crack, every scar Little by little, I learned If I fall into the dark I can still return We rise again We rise again Through the ache, through the bend We rise again We rise again We rise again Hold my name, take my hand We rise again (again) If my voice shakes tonight Let it shake, let it ring I am not where I began I am becoming Call my name, call it loud From the ruins, from the rain I can carry both the hurt And the hope in my veins We rise again We rise again Through the ache, through the bend We rise again We rise again We rise again Hold my name, take my hand We rise again (again) We rise again We rise again No more fear in my heart We rise again
