Rise Up

[Intro]  
In the silence of the night, dreams whisper low,  
A heart that once was shattered, now begins to glow.  
Through the shadows and the pain, a journey starts anew,  
From ashes of despair, hope breaks through.  

[Verse 1]  
Once lost in a world where darkness took its toll,  
A broken soul was wandering, searching for control.  
The bottle held the promise, the needle, sweet release,  
But chains of addiction tightened, robbing him of peace.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
But in the night where silence screams,  
A flicker of resilience gleams.  
With every scar, he learns to stand,  
No more a victim to fate's cruel hand.  

[Chorus]  
Rise up from the ashes, dust off the shame,  
Born of the struggle, he ignites the flame.  
With every step, he sheds the pain,  
From shadows of darkness, he'll break the chain.  

[Bridge]  
With every heartbeat, another chance,  
He dances with his demons, embracing the advance.  
No longer just surviving, he's learning to thrive,  
Fighting through the storms, he's finally alive.  

[Verse 2]  
In the smallest of moments, he finds a brand new way,  
A smile from a stranger, a light in the gray.  
With hands once so trembling, he builds his own fate,  
Brick by brick, he’s rising, leaving pain at the gate.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
The echoes of the past begin to fade away,  
With each breath of freedom, he chooses to stay.  
From brokenness to wholeness, his spirit starts to soar,  
No longer just existing, he's ready to explore.  

[Chorus]  
Rise up from the ashes, dust off the shame,  
Born of the struggle, he ignites the flame.  
With every step, he sheds the pain,  
From shadows of darkness, he'll break the chain.  

[Outro]  
So here's to the warriors, who've faced their darkest days,  
Each step is a victory, igniting brighter ways.  
With hearts made of courage, we rise through the strife,  
Together in the journey, reclaiming our life.
