There's a fire in the silence
Waking slowly under my skin
Every shadow starts to loosen
Letting all the light come in

I can feel the storm inside me
Turning into something brave
Every whisper says it's time
Time to rise above the waves

And I'm breathing
For the first time in forever

Awakening flame
Burning through the fear again
Every heartbeat calls my name
Like a spark I can't contain
Awakening flame
Rising from the cold and pain
I'm no longer who I've been
This is where my fire begins

Every bruise became a lesson
Every tear a guiding light
I'm not running from the darkness
I am learning how to fight

There's a glow beneath the ashes
Breaking through the heavy night
Every scar becomes a lantern
Pointing me back to my life

And I'm breathing
For the first time in forever

Awakening flame
Burning through the fear again
Every heartbeat calls my name
Like a spark I can't contain
Awakening flame
Rising from the cold and pain
I'm no longer who I've been
This is where my fire begins

I won't fade
I won't break
Let the fire take its shape
Through my skin
Through my bones
I am rising, not alone

Awakening flame
Burning through the fear again
Every heartbeat calls my name
Like a spark I can't contain
Awakening flame
This is who I am again
Through the smoke I rise unchained
Awakening flame
