Verse 1
No matter what the storm may bring
I keep my head up towards the sky
And look forward to a brighter day
I can no longer hide
From the shadows that keep haunting me
And the terrors of the night
I was trapped behind the doors of darkness
But continued to pray for light

Pre-Chorus
I thought it was over,
I was trapped behind the ashes,
Felt the enemy getting closer
Still I gave it my best

Chorus
I will shine, even when the skies are gray
I will rise, like a phoenix from a flame
I will fly, higher than an eagle's wing
And I will fight, until I see the light of day
(Until I see the light of day, until I see the light of day,
I will fight, I will fight, I will fight, I will fight, until I see the light of day
Until I see the light of day)

Bridge
I spent way too much time in the pits
Fell victim to my circumstances
But I didn't give up I didn't quit
I accepted the challenge

Outro
I will shine, even when the skies are gray
I will rise, like a phoenix from a flame
I will fly, higher than an eagle's wing
And I will fight, until I see the light of day
(Until I see the light of day, until I see the light of day,
I will fight, I will fight, I will fight, I will fight, until I see the light of day
Until I see the light of day I will rise, I was rise like a phoenix from a flame)
