[Intro] [Wind Chimes] [Rain Drops] [Leafs Russel] [Pre Chorus] Mountains rise when I stand tall Rivers flow when I let go Earth in my veins, I feel it all Mother nature never let me fall [Verse] I was buried in the dirt, thought the dark was my fate Didn’t know every seed gotta suffocate to elevate Pressure made diamonds, rain made the grain rise Storms hit my roots but they strengthened my spine Winters felt endless, branches looked bare But the cold taught patience, life still there Sap in my veins when the sun came back Every loss I took turned to chlorophyll stacks I bent with the wind, never snapped in the breeze Learned resilience from the whispering trees Scars in my bark tell stories of drought Now I bloom so loud I don’t scream or shout Used to fear the fall when the leaves let go Now I shed what’s dead so the real can grow Deep in the soil where the quiet things start Roots in the earth, but the sky in my heart. [Chorus] Mountains rise when I stand tall Rivers flow when I let go Earth in my veins, I feel it all Mother nature never let me fall [Verse] I was planted in silence… No applause in the dirt Just pressure and patience And the weight of the hurt Roots learned the language Of the dark underneath Where the quiet builds power And the soul starts to breathe Winter sat heavy on my shoulders like doubt Branches looked lifeless from the outside looking out But beneath all the frost, there was movement unseen Every crack in the surface made the spirit go deep I don’t rush the sunrise I don’t beg for the rain Every season that shaped me Was rewriting my name Now I rise without noise No need to prove Growth don’t scream — It just slowly moves Leaves fall gently What’s gone makes room I bloom in my timing… A slow, sacred bloom [Chorus] Mountains rise when I stand tall Rivers flow when I let go Earth in my veins, I feel it all Mother nature never let me fall [Verse] Earth held my body when I fell apart Cool soil on my skin, steadying my heart Buried old versions of who I’d been Let the ground take the weight of my sins Water came softly, washing the dust Rivers ran through me, dissolving mistrust Every tear I cried turned into a stream Carrying fragments of forgotten dreams Fire spoke next with a whispering flame Burned off the fear, burned off the shame Ash to the wind, smoke to the sky What wasn’t eternal had to die Mountains stood silent, ancient and wise Stone-faced teachers beneath open skies They said, “Rise slow… strength takes time Pressure makes peaks that are meant to climb.” Now I breathe deeper, reborn, remade Four sacred elements in my veins From ember to ocean, from valley to birth I am the child of fire and earth. [Ambient break relaxing traits] [Verse] Earth kept my bones when I broke down low Water rewrote every wound I know Fire made light from what had to end Mountains whispered, “Rise again.” Now I stand quiet… remade, reborn Ash to the soil… a new self formed Inhale the sky… exhale the past [River flowing]
