[Verse 1] In the darkness, deep below I know a light so strong Glowing in a hidden place Where the hurt was hanging on Growing up among the shadows Left with cruel hands all around I kept asking my own soul Why the child was never found [Pre-Chorus] What happened to them? What happened to me? My soul keeps crying Still I can’t believe [Chorus] Light in me, light in me Still I rise, still I breathe Broken heart, steady flame I survive the dark Light in me, light in me You can’t take what I keep Lighthful soul, don’t give up I am more than grief [Verse 2] Life can be a dangerous zone When the night gets in the skin But I learned to guard a spark Where the pain could not get in Even now my heart is broken Even now it makes me shake Still the glow keeps growing Every chain I choose to break [Pre-Chorus] What happened to them? What happened to us? My soul keeps crying Still I turn to dust [Chorus] Light in me, light in me Still I rise, still I breathe Broken heart, steady flame I survive the dark Light in me, light in me You can’t take what I keep Lighthful soul, don’t give up I am more than grief [Bridge] So I reach for the shattered Hold the ones that feel too weak If I can lift another Then my scars can still speak [Final Chorus] Light in me, light in me Still I rise, still I breathe Broken heart, steady flame I survive the dark Light in me, light in me You can’t take what I keep Lighthful soul, don’t give up I am more than grief
