Paper Crown

Paroles

[Verse 1] You came in hard Like winter through the door Left cracks in the floor And doubt on every shore I wore that hurt Like gravel in my coat Every "you can't" Sat heavy in my throat [Pre-Chorus] But I kept my name When the ground gave way I kept my breath Through the longest day And little by little I learned to stand With a shaky heart And a steady hand [Chorus] I rise, I rise Through the broken ground I rise, I rise Hear that lion sound You can bend me low You can't keep me down I rise, I rise I wear a paper crown (paper crown) [Verse 2] I knew the rain By the shape of my room Counted my losses In a cold dark June But pain turned soft When I called it by name I found a spark Inside the flame [Pre-Chorus] Now every scar Is a road I know Every dead end Taught my roots to grow And what tried to break me Built a stronger frame So I step right out And I say the same [Chorus] I rise, I rise Through the broken ground I rise, I rise Hear that lion sound You can bend me low You can't keep me down I rise, I rise I wear a paper crown (paper crown) [Bridge] Let it shake Let it roar I have been here Before I was the ash I was the ache Now watch me move Watch me wake [Final Chorus] I rise, I rise Through the broken ground I rise, I rise Hear that lion sound You can bend me low You can't keep me down I rise, I rise I wear a paper crown (paper crown) I rise, I rise No more running now I rise, I rise Take a bow You can bend me low You can't keep me down I rise, I rise I wear a paper crown (paper crown)
