Walked Through Fire

[Intro]
Ash on my shoes
Smoke in my lungs
Thought I was done
Still, I bit my tongue

[Verse 1]
I was knee-deep in the fire, soles melting on the floor
Every step another trial, every breath another war
Had my back to the pain, front row to the doubt
But I carved my own lane, kicked the fear out the house

Mama said "baby, you built for the storm"
I was soaked to the bone, still I pushed, still I swore
If the devil want a dance, he gon' learn my spin
'Cause I break through doors he tried to lock me in

[Chorus]
I walked through fire just to feel this sky
Turned my hell into heaven right before my eyes
I bled, I burned, but I learned my worth
Yeah, I never gave up on myself on this earth

[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
Had nights where the walls leaned in, hands on my throat
Every voice in my head saying "kid, you a joke"
But I stared that mirror down, saw a lion in the glass
Said "I’m more than every scar, more than every broken past"

Now I stride with a blaze that they never could steal
Every blister on my feet just proof that I heal
Turn the ashes to gold, every wound to a crown
What tried to bury my soul just rooted me down

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Step by step
Breath by breath
I turned that death
Into one more step

[growing intensity]
Let the flames run high, I rise above them
Every fall I took just taught me something
Hell in my rearview, stars in my sight
I made my own heaven out the hardest nights

[Chorus]
