I Crossed the Fire

[Verse 1]
I kept my head down through the long uphill
Cold rain gathered on the window sill
You said the summit wasn't meant for us
I took one step, then another through the dust

[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise became a reason
Every closed door gave me ground
Now the weight I carried upward
Is the proof I didn't turn around

[Chorus]
I made it through the fire
I stood up when the whole world leaned
I held on to the wire
And pulled my name from underneath
Now every hard-won mile is mine
I crossed the line, I crossed the line

[Verse 2]
The old map tore beside the river stone
I learned the roads by walking them alone
Your doubts still rattle like loose keys
But they can't choose the way ahead of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise became a reason
Every closed door gave me ground
Now the weight I carried upward
Is the proof I didn't turn around

[Chorus]
I made it through the fire
I stood up when the whole world leaned
I held on to the wire
And pulled my name from underneath
Now every hard-won mile is mine
I crossed the line, I crossed the line

[Bridge]
No crown, no borrowed victory
Just both feet planted, finally
The climb was mine, the choice was mine
And I am here on the other side

[Final Chorus]
I made it through the fire
I stood up when the whole world leaned
I held on to the wire
And pulled my name from underneath
Now every hard-won mile is mine
I crossed the line, I crossed the line

[Outro]
I crossed the line
I’m still here
