I can hear them talking
Headlines written in the snow
Every move they think they know
Every fall is amplified
Every doubt is televised
Weight of the world on my back
Every whisper attacks
But I won’t crack
Against the wind
Against the noise
Against the fear inside my voice
I stand again
I won’t give in
Even when the ice gets thin
Against the wind
Against it all
I rise every time I fall
Flashing lights and camera glare
Expectations in the air
They don’t see the silent nights
Only judge the final fight
Every scar
Every bruise
Tells a story they can’t use
Against the wind
Against the doubt
Against the storm that counts me out
I stand again
I won’t give in
Even when the edge is thin
Against the wind
Against it all
I rise every time I fall
Let them talk
Let them say
I’ve come too far to walk away
The cold won’t break
What I’ve begun
The fire’s stronger than the gun
Against the wind
Against the fear
I turn the pressure into fuel
I stand again
And I begin
Stronger than I’ve ever been
Against the wind
Against it all
I rise
I rise
I rise
Still standing.
