Rise from the Ashes
Taylor Swift

(Verse 1)
In the shadows of the night, I was feeling small,
Voices whispering doubts, trying to make me fall.
Painted smiles and perfect lines, I wore the mask,
But deep inside I was screaming, 'Who can I ask?'

(Chorus)
So I rise, rise from the ashes,
Breaking free from all the clashes.
Through the fire, I'll find my way,
I'm no longer afraid to say,

(Verse 2)
They told me to be quiet, to listen and obey,
But I discovered my voice in a world of gray.
With every cut and bruise, I learned to stand tall,
For every woman who's silenced, I’ll answer the call.

(Chorus)
So I rise, rise from the ashes,
Breaking free from all the clashes.
Through the fire, I'll find my way,
I'm no longer afraid to say,

(Bridge)
The patriarchy's grip, it won't hold me back,
I’ll rewrite the story, reclaim what I lack.
Sisters beside me, together we stand,
In unity and strength, we’ll make our demand.

(Chorus)
So I rise, rise from the ashes,
Breaking free from all the clashes.
Through the fire, I'll find my way,
I'm no longer afraid to say,

(Outro)
I embrace my flaws, my power, my fight,
With every heartbeat, I’ll ignite the night.
From the darkness, I will shine so bright,
This is my moment, I’ll take my flight.
