The night was heavy, the silence cold
I carried stories I never told
But in the rhythm I found my way
A brand new light breaks the break of day

And now the music takes me high
I feel the future in my stride
This moment starts where the past will end
I'm alive tonight, I can breathe again

It's my first breath again
Breaking out of the chains
Every step that I take washes over the pain
It's my first breath again I can rise, I can stand
This is more than survival
It's the start of who I am

The weight is lifting, I feel it fade
A stronger self in the moves I made
Through every shadow I see the glow
The beat reminds me I still can grow

And now the music takes me high
I feel the future in my stride
This moment starts where the past will end
I'm alive tonight, I can breathe again

It's my first breath again
Breaking out of the chains
Every step that I take washes over the pain
It's my first breath again I can rise, I can stand
This is more than survival
It's the start of who I am

No more silence, no more fear
Every heartbeat brings me here
In the rhythm I begin
Breathing life, my first breath again

It's my first breath again
Breaking out of the chains
Every step that I take washes over the pain
It's my first breath again I can rise, I can stand
This is more than survival
It's the start of who I am
My first breath again
