Steel and Mercy

Lyrics

Verse 1
I wake up to the weight
Same fight, different day
Boots hit that broken floor
Still I find my way

Bills on the table
Storms in my chest
Head full of noise
But I still do my best

When the dark gets close
And the road gets rough
I don't fold, I don't break
I just hold on tough

Pre-Chorus
If I fall, I rise again
With tired hands and scars
I hear a light inside
Saying, "Go this far"

Chorus
Still I rise, still I try
God keep me moving
Still I rise, still I try
Through the hurt I'm choosing
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
God keep me moving
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
I won't stop improving

Verse 2
Some days the mirror lies
Says I won't make it through
But I've been built from storms
And I know what pain can do

I lost some peace, lost some sleep
Lost my way for a while
Then I felt that mercy
Pull me back in style

Every scar's a proof
That I lived, not lost
Every bruise I carry
Is a bridge I crossed

Pre-Chorus
If I fall, I rise again
With tired hands and scars
I hear a light inside
Saying, "Go this far"

Chorus
Still I rise, still I try
God keep me moving
Still I rise, still I try
Through the hurt I'm choosing
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
God keep me moving
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
I won't stop improving

Bridge
When the rain won't quit
And my knees feel weak
You hold me up
When I can't speak

Chorus
Still I rise, still I try
God keep me moving
Still I rise, still I try
Through the hurt I'm choosing
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
God keep me moving
(Still I rise)
(Still I try)
I won't stop improving
