Clock In My Spirit

Verse 1

I was standing in the static, heart humming like a wire, Every doubt around me whispering, “Lower your fire.” But there’s a drum in my chest that won’t ever retreat, It keeps time with tomorrow every time I feel weak. I’ve been broken into questions, folded into fear, But I learned that every shadow means the sun is near. Every scar is a signature, written in flame, Proof I walked through the storm and still remembered my name.

Pre-Chorus

They said, “Wait your turn, stay inside the line,” But the clock in my spirit said, “This is your time.” I’m not here to survive in the quiet and small— I’m here to rise so loud I shake the wall.

Chorus

I’m built from light, even in the dark, Every fall I take becomes a spark. I bend, I break, but I never stay down, I turn every tear into solid ground. Watch me climb what I used to fear, I’m the echo of hope in an empty year. I’m built from light, I’m born to ignite— I don’t fade… I rise.

Verse 2

I’ve been walking through mirrors, meeting who I could be, Every version of myself saying, “Set me free.” I carried old voices like stones in my hands, Then I dropped them one by one and started to stand. I don’t need a crown to know I’m a king, Every breath that I take is a powerful thing. I was forged in the waiting, sharpened by time, Now I move like a river with a mountain in mind.

Pre-Chorus

I made peace with the nights that tried to erase me, Every closed door taught me how to face me. Now I walk with a future stitched in my bones, Turning empty rooms into thrones.

Chorus

I’m built from light, even in the dark, Every fall I take becomes a spark. I bend, I break, but I never stay down, I turn every tear into solid ground. Watch me climb what I used to fear, I’m the echo of hope in an empty year. I’m built from light, I’m born to ignite— I don’t fade… I rise.

Bridge

spoken or sung softly

If you’re tired, if you’re scared, If you feel like no one’s there— Hear this: you are not done. You’re only just begun.

Final Chorus

bigger

We’re built from light, even in the dark, Every dream we hold becomes a spark. We bend, we break, but we don’t stay down, We turn every tear into solid ground. Let the world see what we’ve become, Every shadow runs from where we run. We’re built from light, we’re born to ignite— We don’t fade… we rise.

Outro

From the dust, from the doubt, from the night— We rise
