I've got scars on my hands, but I'm still standing strong
I've faced all the battles, and I've always soldiered on
-- I won't let the pain bring me down, no I won't drown,
-- I'll rise up, I'll fight back, I won't be knocked down
-- They said I couldn't make it, but I'm here to prove them wrong
I'll push through the barriers and sing my own song
I won't let anyone define who I am, no I won't bend
-- I'll rise up, I'll fight back, I won't be broken
I've climbed every mountain, I've swam every sea
I've been to the depths, but I am still me
The fire inside, it keeps burning bright,
I'll rise up, I'll fight back, I'll conquer my fears tonight
I've got my guitar, my heart, and my soul
-- No one can stop me, I'm in complete control
-- I'll take the stage, and I'll own the night
-- I'll rise up, I'll fight back, and I'll shine so bright
So when you see me now, don't look away with disdain
-- I've climbed to the top, I've weathered the pain
-- I'll keep climbing higher, and I'll never stop
I'll rise up, I'll fight back, I'll reach the very top

-- I won't back down, won't be held down
I'll rise up, break through the clouds
With my head up high and my heart on fire
-- I'll be who I am, and live my life
-- I've been told to fit in, play by the rules
-- But something inside me just won't let me lose
-- I'm done with the pressure, the constant chase
-- I'll carve my own path, no more playing safe
Yeah they'll try to break me, try to bring me down
But I won't let them, I'll stand my ground
I'll shout it from the rooftops, I'll sing it loud
I'll be who I am, and make them proud
-- It's not about perfection, it's about being real
-- And I won't let anyone dim my shine
I'll take the road less traveled, and I'll own it all
-- Cause I am who I am, and I'll never fall
