I remember when the nights were cold and lonely
Undeterred, I kept pushing on, never gave in.
Through the doubt, I found the strength to carry on
With every step, I grew stronger, still I had a long way to go

But I rise up, like the echoes of triumph
Through the struggles and the pain, I found my way
Now I'm standing tall, I made it through the storm
I'm here to say, I'm here to stay

I've been through fire, I've been through rain
I felt the heartache, I felt the pain
But I never gave up, I never gave in
I kept on fighting until I won
I've been locked down, but I got back up
I've been lost, but I found my way
I've been hurt, but learned to love
I've been broken, but I'm still standing today

But I rise up, like the echoes of triumph
Through the struggles and the pain, I found my way
Now I'm standing tall, I made it through the storm
I'm here to say, I'm here to stay

I took my dreams and ran, left my hometown behind
I knew I had to leave, to see what I could find
I traveled far and wide, through the pouring rain
I never lost my faith, I knew I'd find my way

I've been through fire, I've been through pain
I've been knocked down, but I rose again
I'm not afraid to take a stand
I'll keep on fighting with all I am

And I rise up, like the echoes of triumph
Through the struggles and the pain, I found my way
Now I'm standing tall, I made it through the storm
I'm here to say, I'm here to stay

I rise up, like the echoes of triumph
Through the struggles and the pain, I found my way
Now I'm standing tall, I made it through the storm
I'm here to say, I'm here to stay

I'm here to stay
