Never Back Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up with the sunlight fading, Another day, but I’m still waiting, For a sign that says I’m gonna be okay. I’ve been running from the shadows, Carrying a heart that nobody knows, But I’m still here, so I’ll find my way. [Pre-Chorus] They can talk, they can laugh, They can say I won’t last, But I’ve got something they don’t know— [Chorus] I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Even when the whole world says goodbye. I’ll light the dark with my own fire, Climbing higher and higher. I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Yeah, I was made to never back down. [Verse 2] Fell a few times, got bruises on my soul, Stitched myself up, let the weather take its toll, Now I wear the scars like a crown. Every broken road tried to slow me, Every cold hand tried to know me, But I keep moving, I won’t bow down. [Pre-Chorus] They can talk, they can laugh, They can say I won’t last, But I’ve got something they don’t know— [Chorus] I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Even when the whole world says goodbye. I’ll light the dark with my own fire, Climbing higher and higher. I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Yeah, I was made to never back down. [Bridge] Let it break, let it shake, I’m still standing in the wreckage. Name by name, face by face, I remember every message. I was made for this fight, Made for the edge of the night, And when the fear comes running in, I’m gonna win. [Chorus] I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Even when the whole world says goodbye. I’ll light the dark with my own fire, Climbing higher and higher. I’m gonna rise, rise, rise, Yeah, I was made to never back down.
