I'm Alive

Another dawn
The night breaks through
Open eyes
I’m something new
What we were
Didn’t last
But I’m done
Living in the past

Every word
I swallowed down
Every fall
I didn’t count
Built a spine
Out of truth
I’m still standing
So are you

I don’t burn
I don’t fade
I learned how
To stay

Love and loss
Lit the spark
From the dark
I rise
Every scar
Left a mark
Now it shines

Hearts awake
Feel it start
We ignite
This time
From the ash
From the stone
I’m alive
I’m mine

Cold winds
Taught me breath
How to walk
Without your steps
Empty rooms
Stopped the ache
Now they echo
What I made

All the nights
I held the line
Waiting for
A different sign
Turns out I
Was the call
I was always
Through it all

No more chains
No disguise
I stepped forward
And survived

Love and loss
Lit the spark
From the dark
I rise
Every scar
Left a mark
Now it shines

Hearts awake
Feel it start
We ignite
This time
From the ash
From the stone
I’m alive
I’m mine

No ghosts
In my chest
No regrets
Left unsaid
What we were
Had its time
What I am
Is mine

Hands open
Eyes clear
I’m right here
I’m right here

Love and loss
Set me free
This is me
Tonight
From the fire
From the fall
I stand tall
I rise

Still here
Still strong
Still alive
All mine
From the ash
From the stone
I come home
I shine
