From Struggle to Glory

I counted every mile by the cracks in the floor

Kept my hands on the table when they asked for more

A paper-thin promise, a room full of doubt

But I found one small reason not to tap out

Every setback left a mark on my skin

Every closed door taught me where to begin

You said, "Hold on, you're closer than you know"

So I took one breath and let the whole thing go

Now we rise from the weight we carried

Turn the hurt into something legendary

No, I won't let the past decide my name

I came through the fire and I built this flame

From the floor to the highest light

I was lost, now I'm taking flight

If the world says stop, we say go

This is our struggle turning into glory

There were mornings when the mirror looked away

And a cheap black coffee had to carry the day

I kept your old note by the edge of my bed

Three crooked lines saying, "Not finished yet"

Every failure had a lesson to give

Every scar said, "You survived, you live"

You said, "Hold on, you're closer than you know"

So I took one breath and let the whole thing go

Now we rise from the weight we carried

Turn the hurt into something legendary

No, I won't let the past decide my name

I came through the fire and I built this flame

From the floor to the highest light

I was lost, now I'm taking flight

If the world says stop, we say go

This is our struggle turning into glory

Leave the dust on the old front step

Leave the fear with the words unsaid

All the nights that I thought I'd break

Brought me here to the choice I make

Now we rise from the weight we carried

Turn the hurt into something legendary

No, I won't let the past decide my name

I came through the fire and I built this flame

From the floor to the highest light

I was lost, now I'm taking flight

If the world says stop, we say go

This is our struggle turning into glory

I took one breath

I let it go

From struggle to glory

Now we rise
