DJ Scala - I Rise Lyrics

I was broken, but now I'm whole
I was lost, but now I know
I used to listen to the silence that you gave,
A quiet rage that you built, a bound I couldn't escape.
I wore your lies like armor, let them sink into my skin,
Every breath I took was trembling, afraid of what you'd spin.
Your shadows painted over the light in my eyes,
But I didn't see them coming, couldn't see through the lies
You made me small with every word,
But I hear myself now, louder than I've ever heard.
I'm done bleeding for a bond that never bled for me,
Reaching for the sky,
No longer drowning in your lies,
I'm learning how to fly.
I'm learning how to fly
I rise, I rise!
Out of the dark, into the light!
I was a shadow in your world, your storm to control,
But I found the strength in the pieces you left behind
Each scar was a story I swore I couldn't tell,
But now I'm walking away, out of the hell you made
You thought I'd crumble, thought I'd fade into the night,
But every tear you gave me, only fueled this fire inside.
I'm not the person you suppressed for so long
The pull you had on me no longer exists you were wrong
I'm not your prisoner anymore,
I've unlocked the door
I'm stronger than the pain you caused,
I'm running from your war
I rise, I rise!
Out of the dark, into the light!
I was afraid to look in the mirror,
But now I see the strength, and it's getting clearer
Your whispers are fading, they no longer reach me,
The power's mine now, you'll finally see
I don't need your approval to breathe on my own,
I've planted my feet, and I'm letting it show
The pieces you broke, I've stitched them to a crown,
I'll wear it in the light, standing tall on the ground
