Verse 1 (The First Clear Morning) The morning breaks around me, Strong light across my face. I feel a fire waking In the corners of this place. The shadows try to linger, But they cannot hold me still. I rise with steady purpose, With a brand‑new kind of will. Refrain 1 (Standing Tall) And I call into the sunlight, “I’m stronger than before.” And the morning answers boldly, “You’re the one you’re rising for.” Verse 2 (Walking With Strength) I meet the world with power, My shoulders lifted high. I let the warmth surround me, Let the truth replace the lie. I’m learning how to open, How to let my spirit shine. And every step I’m taking Feels like claiming what is mine. Refrain 2 (Opening Wide) And I speak into the daylight, “I’m learning how to trust.” And the breeze replies with courage, “Your heart is more than dust.” Verse 3 (The Child at Peace) The boy I carried with me Now walks with steady grace. He’s not afraid of living, Not afraid to show his face. I tell him he is worthy, And he stands up straight and free. For the first time in our story, He believes in who we’ll be. Refrain 3 (Inner Strength) And I shout into the shadows, “You don’t define my name.” And a quiet voice within me Says, “You’ve risen from the flame.” Verse 4 (Owning His Power) I still feel echoes sometimes, But they cannot pull me down. I’ve learned to stand in sorrow Without letting myself drown. My voice is growing thunder, My steps are firm and true. And every breath I’m taking Feels like breaking something new. Refrain 4 (The Lift of Becoming) And I breathe into the stillness, “I’m ready for the climb.” And the light replies with power, “You’re right on healing’s time.” Verse 5 (Stepping Into Purpose) I’m learning who I’m meant to be, Not who the hurt defined. I’m walking with conviction, Leaving fear and doubt behind. My heart is wide and open, My spirit feels alive. And every step I’m taking Shows the man I will arrive. Final Refrain (The Arrival) So I call into the heavens, “I’m finally who I am.” And the day says, “Child, keep shining— You’ve broken through the dam.”
