Lyrics
I was drowning in the silence, chains around my chest
Every heartbeat sounded distant, hope was second-best
But the dark taught me endurance, deeper than the sea
Now the tide is changing tempo, rolling back for me
Bruised but breathing, I feel the current shift
Weightless in the wreckage my spirit starts to lift
I'm breaking the surface, gasping brand-new air
Light on my lashes, salt water in my prayer
I've learned to let the storm become my greatest teacher
Now I'm breaking the surface bolder, wider, deeper
I had sand inside my pockets, memories in my shoes
Every step was heavy sorrow, but I refused to lose
I turned fear into a compass pointing to the sun
Now I rise like restless thunder battle just begun
Can you hear the rush inside my lungs?
Freedom's roar in every song I've sung
Ocean scars become my stripes of grace
Breaking through, I claim my place
I'm breaking the surface, gasping brand-new air
Surfacing stronger never sinking again
