About the Song – Rise Again
Rise Again is a powerful anthem of resilience, self-belief, and rising from the ashes of disappointment. It tells the story of someone who gave everything in pursuit of a dream—heart, soul, and every ounce of fight—only to watch it slip away. The lyrics lay bare the emotional weight of failure, the haunting echoes of doubt, and the sting of dreams left shattered.
But at its core, this song is about defiance. It’s about holding on to identity and inner strength even when everything else crumbles. With every verse, it builds toward a message of hope: that setbacks don’t define us, and the fire within can never be extinguished.
From the lowest lows to the determined rise, Rise Again speaks to anyone who’s been knocked down but refuses to stay there. It’s a reminder that the journey through struggle shapes us—and that the best chapters often begin after the fall.
I gave it all every breath every fight
Chased the dream through the darkest night
Built it up with my heart in my hands
Only to watch it slip like sand
Oh the weight it’s pulling me down
Echoes of failure all over this town
But somewhere inside a whisper remains
Telling me loss ain’t the end of the game
I was flying I was soaring
Now I’m crashing thunder roaring
But the sun’s gonna rise I know it will
Gonna climb again up that hill
They can take what I built break my plan
But they’ll never take who I am
Shattered dreams on a cold hard floor
Fighting the doubt but it cuts me more
Every “what if” is screaming inside
But I won’t let it take my pride
Oh the weight it’s pulling me down
Echoes of failure all over this town
But somewhere inside a whisper remains
Telling me loss ain’t the end of the game
I was flying I was soaring
Now I’m crashing thunder roaring
But the sun’s gonna rise I know it will
Gonna climb again up that hill
They can take what I built break my plan
But they’ll never take who I am
Maybe this road was meant to break me
Maybe this fall is here to shape me
I ain’t done I ain’t through
Watch me rise—just watch me move
One more step one more breath
Still got fire still got depth
Yeah I was lost but now I see
The best is still ahead of me
