Lyrics

In the darkness of night
Comes a spark against the air.
I fought through the shadows
learned to fly through the fear.

Every whisper that they say
Gently pushed me on the way.

Chorus
I’m flying higher and higher
I've climbed through the storm
Toward a dawn where hopes are born,
Chasing lines that lead me home.
I rise—far beyond the storm.

Through the fire through the flame
They said I'd never fly again
With clear horizons in my sight
They never thought that I would fight

Every whisper that they say
Gently pushed me on the way. (way)

Chorus

Bridge
An ember in the wind,
Still learns how to glow
And even in the dark,
The fearless light begins to grow.

Final Chorus
Fly higher and higher
We'll climb through the storm
Toward a dawn where hopes are born,
Chasing lines that take us home.
We rise—far beyond the storm.
