hopeful

Title: Still I Rise Verse 1 I was walking through the night with a broken flame Heavy on my chest, yeah I felt the pain Dreams on delay, but they calling my name Every scar on my skin tell a story of faith Mama said, “Son, don’t you ever give in” Storms make warriors, not perfect men Even when the door won’t open again I knock with belief, yeah my heart won’t bend Pre-Chorus I been low, I been lost I been counting all the cost But a whisper in the dark says “This ain’t the end at all” Chorus I’m hopeful, even when the sky’s not clear I’m hopeful, I still see light right here If I fall seven times, I rise with no fear I’m hopeful, yeah tomorrow’s near I’m hopeful, hope lives in my breath Even dancing with doubt and death I won’t quit, I won’t fold, I won’t disappear I’m hopeful, yeah tomorrow’s near Verse 2 I seen friends turn fake when the money’s low Seen love feel cold, yeah the truth is cold But pressure made diamonds in places of stone Now my voice too loud, can’t silence my soul Every tear that I cried watered seeds in the ground Now they growing real tall, hear the victory sound I ain’t perfect, I’m just purpose-bound Still learning to smile when I’m breaking down Pre-Chorus When the night feels long And the strength feels gone I remember who I am And I keep moving on Chorus I’m hopeful, even when the sky’s not clear I’m hopeful, I still see light right here If I fall seven times, I rise with no fear I’m hopeful, yeah tomorrow’s near Bridge If today is heavy, let tomorrow breathe If the road is lonely, I still believe What’s meant for me won’t pass me by I was born to live, I was born to try Outro So I lift my head, wipe the tears I hide Faith in my steps, fire in my eyes No matter the pain, no matter the years I’m hopeful… and I’m still here ✨
