The truth cuts deeper than the rest
I thought I stood beyond the fall
Unshaken... stronger than them all
But war spoke back-cold and clear
"You are not what you thought you were"
Pain stays close... it doesn't fade
But I refuse... to stay this way
I fell-I fell-but I did not end!
I break-I burn-I rise again!
No shame, no fear can hold me down!
I lost the fight-but not my ground!
Fall again? Then rise once more!
That's what strength is fighting for!
No eyes to see... no voice to call
I trained alone... rebuilt from fall
Each scar a mark I chose to keep
Each wound a truth carved in too deep
No more lies of easy strength
No hollow pride, no false pretense
I forged myself through loss and pain
Not who I was-but what remains
Fear still lives... I feel it breathe
But now it answers back to me
I fell-I fell-but I did not end!
I break-I burn-I rise again!
No shame, no fear can hold me down!
I lost the fight-but not my ground!
Fall again? Then rise once more!
That's what strength is fighting for!
Not never fall... not never bleed
But stand back up when others leave
The world will break you-make you bend
But only you decide the end
I fall-I rise-I don't stay down!
No fate, no force can keep me bound!
I break-I build-I take the flame!
Each loss becomes my strength again!
One more time-that's all it takes!
To become what never breaks!
Not the fall... but what I became
That is how they'll speak my name
