[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] You used to shadow every step I took Turn my quiet breaths into a burning look Tried to clip my wings before I learned to fly Your words don’t cut like they did back then—tonight, I defy [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small But I’m done with letting you call The tide is turning, I can feel it now No more hiding, no more bow [Chorus] I rise unbroken, I stand my ground Your voice can’t drown out the sound Of my heart beating, loud and clear I’m not the one you can make disappear I rise unbroken, I take my place No more living in your bitter space Every scar is now my crown I stand up, I stand my ground [Verse 2] You thought your whispers would keep me in the dark That I’d shrink away when you threw your spark But I gathered every shard you tried to break Now I wear them like armor, wide awake [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small But I’m done with letting you call The tide is turning, I can feel it now No more hiding, no more bow [Chorus] I rise unbroken, I stand my ground Your voice can’t drown out the sound Of my heart beating, loud and clear I’m not the one you can make disappear I rise unbroken, I take my place No more living in your bitter space Every scar is now my crown I stand up, I stand my ground [Interlude] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge] You don’t get to define my story I’m writing it with my own glory Every fall was just a chance to grow Now I’m the one who’s in control [Chorus] I rise unbroken, I stand my ground Your voice can’t drown out the sound Of my heart beating, loud and clear I’m not the one you can make disappear I rise unbroken, I take my place No more living in your bitter space Every scar is now my crown I stand up, I stand my ground [Outro] I stand my ground Unbroken, unbound
