Born to Rise

[Intro] Soft piano, ambient pads [Verse 1 - Male, whispered/raw] I've been broken down to nothing Buried underneath the weight Every scar I carry with me Every choice, every mistake [Pre-Chorus - Male building] But something's stirring in the silence Something pulling me to stand I can feel the fire rising I can feel it in my hands [Chorus - Male, full belt, cinematic drums] I was born to rise, born to fight Through the darkest hour, into the light Every fall just makes me climb I was born, I was born to rise [Verse 2 - Female, warm and soaring] I've been standing at the edges Of a fire I couldn't tame Every tear became a weapon Every silence turned to flame [Pre-Chorus - Female] Now I feel the ground beneath me Now I feel the sky break wide There's a power in the breaking There's a fire deep inside [Chorus - Both, layered] We were born to rise, born to fight Through the darkest hour, into the light Every fall just makes us climb We were born, we were born to rise [Bridge - Stripped, piano and voice only] (Male) If I fall (Female) I will catch you (Male) If you break (Female) I'll be there (Both) In the silence, in the fire We were always meant to rise [Final Chorus - Full intensity, strings, choir] We were born to rise, born to fight Through the darkest hour, into the light Every fall just makes us climb We were born, we were born to rise [Outro - Haunting fade] Born to rise... Born to rise... (fade to silence)
