They say I've got it all
That I was born to shine
A smile in every picture
Like sorrow's never mine
But when the lights go down
And silence starts to sting
My soul begins to whisper
And cries for nothing in
It's easy just to guess
What hides behind my eyes
But everyone's a mess
And I break twice as wide!
Yes, I'm dancing in the thunder
Laughing through the ache and hunger
Even when the world collapses
I just scream:"I'll rise!"
Crazy life but it's my fire
Fragile steps and worn-out wires
I don't pray for wonders
Just a breath of sky
They think I'm made of stone
That nothing shakes my ground
But deep inside, I'm breaking
In places never found
I walk without a map
Not always by my will
If daylight doesn't hold me
I teach myself the still
It's easy just to judge
Without a second glance
But truth will often hush
Even peace wears a mask
Yes, I'm dancing in the thunder
Laughing through the ache and hunger
Even when the world collapses
I just scream:"I'll rise!"
Crazy life but it's my fire
Fragile steps and worn-out wires
I don't pray for wonders
Just a breath of sky
Ah-ah-ah, don't envy me
My luck's just heart debris
Ah-ah-ah, not fate, just fight
And still, I sing each night!
Yes, I'm dancing in the thunder
Laughing through the ache and hunger
Even when the world collapses
I just scream:"I'll rise!"
Crazy life but it's my fire
Fragile steps and worn-out wires
I don't pray for wonders
Just a breath of sky
