Reason to Rise by Cordelia Cross

"Reason to Rise" by Cordelia Cross
An empowering anthem about resilience and hope — reminding us all that even when the darkness feels overwhelming, there’s always a spark worth fighting for. This song stands as a beacon for anyone struggling to find strength to keep moving forward.

[Verse 1]
I see the weight behind your stare,
A quiet storm, a burdened prayer.
The shadows whisper in your ear,
Filling your heart with doubt and fear.

The cracks that run beneath your skin,
Tell stories of where you’ve been.
But I won’t let the darkness claim,
The soul that’s burning through the pain.

[Chorus]
When the fire inside you begins to fade,
And the echoes of your past won’t go away,
When it feels like the fight’s too steep to climb,
I’ll be the hand that pulls you back this time.
There’s still a reason to rise,
A spark that never dies.

[Verse 2]
The lies that bind, the chains they weave,
They’re stronger when you still believe.
But I’ve seen the warrior in your eyes,
Beneath the tears and shattered skies.

Every fall has brought you here,
Through every scream, through every tear.
And though you’re standing on the edge,
This isn’t where your story ends.

[Chorus]
When the fire inside you begins to fade,
And the echoes of your past won’t go away,
When it feels like the fight’s too steep to climb,
I’ll be the hand that pulls you back this time.
There’s still a reason to rise,
A spark that never dies.

[Bridge]
You’re more than the shadows that drag you low,
You’re stronger than the fears you’ve come to know.
Look at me now, take back your flame,
We’ll light the dark and burn their shame.

[Chorus]
When the fire inside you begins to fade,
And the echoes of your past won’t go away,
When it feels like the fight’s too steep to climb,
I’ll be the hand that pulls you back this time.
There’s still a reason to rise,
A spark that never dies.
