Verse 1 Hit the ground hard, felt the wind leave my chest, Heard the doubts laughing, said, “Maybe you’re done.” But I’ve been here before, I know this test— It’s not the fall that defines who you become. Bruised hands, dusty knees, Still a fire burning deep in me. I don’t stay down where the shadows lie, I get back up—eyes on the prize. Pre-Chorus Every scar is a lesson learned, Every setback’s a bridge I’ve burned. Chorus So I’m picking myself up, shaking off the pain, Lacing my hope back up again. I don’t quit when the road gets steep, I rise stronger than the doubt in me. I’ve come too far, I’ve paid the price, To turn around now—no compromise. I’m back on my feet, heart open wide, Eyes fixed forward, eyes on the prize. Verse 2 Some nights I questioned every step, If the promise was worth the sweat. But purpose doesn’t disappear, It waits right there when fear gets loud. I hear the call I can’t ignore, A future knocking at my door. This dream’s been baptized in the fight, That’s how I know the end is right. Pre-Chorus I don’t run from the weight I feel, Pressure’s just proof this thing is real. Chorus So I’m picking myself up, shaking off the pain, Lacing my hope back up again. I don’t quit when the road gets steep, I rise stronger than the doubt in me. I’ve come too far, I’ve paid the price, To turn around now—no compromise. I’m back on my feet, heart open wide, Eyes fixed forward, eyes on the prize. Bridge If I fall seven, I’ll rise eight, I won’t let the clock decide my fate. I was made for more than easy ground, I was built to rise when I’m knocked down. Breakdown (spoken / half-sung) I don’t need applause—I need resolve. I don’t need shortcuts—I need belief. Final Chorus (Lift) Yeah, I’m picking myself up, stronger than before, Every knockdown just makes me want it more. I don’t walk by sight, I walk by faith, Step by step, I’m finding my way. Through the fire, through the fight, I keep moving toward the light. I’m still standing, I’m still alive, Eyes locked in—eyes on the prize. Outro So let the world see what resilience looks like, A heart that bends but won’t break. I get back up—every time— Eyes on the prize.
