I fell hard, lost my way Shadows chased me every day Thought the light would never come But I kept walking, though I was numb You left when I needed you most I raised my glass and made a toast To the pain that made me strong To the nights I proved 'em wrong Now the storm has passed me by There's fire burning in my eyes I rise again, like a sunrise in the rain I found my heart through the hurt and through the pain You thought I'd break, but I just bent Now I'm stronger than I've ever been You walked away, now I stand I rise again There were nights I couldn't breathe Your goodbye cut way too deep But tears don't water weakness, no They grow the roots that make you whole Now I ride these country roads With my boots and my new hopes And that song on the radio Says I'm better off alone Dustin' off my wounded pride Got that sparkle back inside I rise again, like a sunrise in the rain I found my heart through the hurt and through the pain You thought I'd break, but I just bent Now I'm stronger than I've ever been You walked away, now I stand I rise again Every heartbreak taught me something Every loss just kept me coming Back to who I am today And I wouldn't change a single day I rise again, like a fire from the flame I wear my scars like a cowboy wears his name You thought I'd fall, but here I stand With a bottle in one hand And a song that says I can I rise again, yeah, I rise again So if you're broken, lost a friend Just hold on, you'll rise again
