I'm Digging Up

I was buried in my doubts
Shovel in my shaking hands
Dirt and shame under my nails
Still I carved my own way out

Every breath a broken prayer
Every step a dare to try
But I feel a spark inside me
I was never meant to die

I’m digging up from the grave
From the weight that tried to chain me
I’m rising up
Unafraid
All the fear that used to claim me
No one’s shoving me back down
’Til my story’s fully told
I’ll walk this world in my own power
Till my struggle turns to gold

All the voices in my head
Saying “stay where you belong”
Now they tremble at my feet
’Cause I turned them into songs

Every scar a secret map
Showing me what I survived
I’m not asking for permission
Just the courage to stay alive

I’m digging up from the grave
From the weight that tried to chain me
I’m rising up
Unafraid
All the fear that used to claim me
No one’s shoving me back down
’Til my story’s fully told
I’ll walk this world in my own power
Till my struggle turns to gold

This is my breath
This is my fight
I am the storm
I am the light (oh yeah)
If I fall once
I’ll stand up twice
I’ll keep on climbing
Till I touch the top

I’m digging up from the grave
From the weight that tried to chain me
I’m rising up
Unafraid
All the fear that used to claim me
No one’s shoving me back down
’Til my story’s fully told
I’ll walk this world in my own power
Till my struggle turns to gold

I’m digging up from the grave
From the shadows that betrayed me
I’m standing tall
Unashamed
Every tear has remade me
No one’s pushing me back down
I’m the keeper of my soul
I’ll live this life in my own power
Till my struggle turns to gold
