Stronger

[Intro] The shadows stretched across the floor I couldn't find the open door The weight of silence held me tight Lost within the velvet night I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger [Verse1] The concrete kissed my weary skin Where all the broken pieces spin A hollow echo in my chest Put every bitter thought to rest The gravity was far too kind To leave the wreckage far behind I watched the embers lose their glow With nowhere left for me to go I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger I waited for the light much longer [Pre-Chorus] The dust is shaking off my coat The jagged words catch in my throat I rise above the rising tide With nothing left to try and hide The rhythm starts to beat again Beyond the reach of tired men [Chorus] I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The night can't keep me here much longer Rising up from ash and bone To claim the life I’ve always known I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The light is growing bright and longer [Verse2] I gathered up the jagged glass To watch the seasons slowly pass I built a fortress from the pain And washed it clean within the rain There is a fire in my soul That finally has made me whole I stepped away from all the fear The path ahead is finally clear I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The wait is over, no more hunger [Chorus] I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The night can't keep me here much longer Rising up from ash and bone To claim the life I’ve always known I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The light is growing bright and longer [Bridge] The scars are maps of where I’ve been A testament to all within I hold the power of the sun The battle here is finally won I’m standing tall, I’m standing free Becoming who I’m meant to be [Chorus] I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The night can't keep me here much longer Rising up from ash and bone To claim the life I’ve always known I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger The light is growing bright and longer [Outro] The sunrise paints the morning sky I breathe the air and testify I was fallen but i’ll come back stronger I’m here to stay, no longer wonder
