Lyrics
Hopeful Spark (Final Version) Verse 1 I’ve been dragged through the mud, I’ve been left in the dirt Everything I held together got ripped apart and it hurt I clawed through the silence, I bled through the doubt But I’m still here burning, and I’m not going out Pre-Chorus They wanted me broken, wanted me erased But I’m still here burning, spitting fire in their face Chorus This is my hopeful spark, cutting through the black I’m done staying quiet, I’m done holding back You can break me down, but I’ll rise through the dirt Light it up from the ground, let it scream what I’m worth Fuck the pain, fuck the doubt, fuck the nights that tried to break me I’m still here, I’m still burning — and I swear you’re going to hate me Verse 2 I carried every failure like a weight on my chest Lost pieces of myself just trying to pass every test But every time they counted me out, every time they let me fall I built something louder from the wreckage of it all Pre-Chorus They wanted me broken, wanted me erased But I’m still here burning, spitting fire in their face Chorus This is my hopeful spark, cutting through the black I’m done staying quiet, I’m done holding back You can break me down, but I’ll rise through the dirt Light it up from the ground, let it scream what I’m worth Fuck the pain, fuck the doubt, fuck the nights that tried to break me I’m still here, I’m still burning — and I swear you’re going to hate me Verse 3 I’ve been knocked to the floor and left out in the rain Whole world tried to bury me and spit on my name But I learned how to burn straight from the inside out And I’m done asking nicely — now I’m screaming it out loud Bridge They can try to drag me under, try to kill what I became But I’m done playing dead, and I’m done playing their game I don’t need your saving, I don’t need your light I built my own fire, and I’m burning through the night Final Chorus This is my hopeful spark, cutting through the black I’m done staying quiet, I’m done holding back You can break me down, but I’ll rise through the dirt Light it up from the ground, let it scream what I’m worth Fuck the pain, fuck the doubt, fuck the nights that tried to break me I’m still here, I’m still burning — and I swear you’re going to hate me This is my hopeful spark, and it’s mine to defend I’m not asking for mercy — I’m fighting till the end I’ll keep clawing through the dark ‘til there’s nothing left to fear This fire’s mine forever — and I’m keeping it right here Outro Hopeful spark… Still burning in the dark… I’m not done yet. I’m not done yet.
