I’ve been living in shadows, hiding from the light

Folding up the days like pages torn from life

Every breath a battle, every step unsure

But something in me whispers, “You were made for more”

I don’t know the road

And I don’t have a plan

But staying here forever

Ain’t who I really am

So I’ll try anyway, even if I fall

Even if my voice breaks when I make the call

I’ll rise through the ache, through the fear, through the grey

‘Cause hope doesn’t bloom unless you try anyway

I remember the silence louder than a scream

Dreams I let go just to learn how not to dream

But maybe there’s a sunrise waiting out of view

And maybe it’s enough to just believe that’s true

I don’t need to win

Just to move my feet

One tiny act of courage

Can set the pain to sleep

So I’ll try anyway, even if I break

Even if the world shakes beneath the steps I take

I’ll rise through the ache, through the fear, through the grey

‘Cause healing begins when we try anyway

There’s beauty in the breaking

In learning to let go

The heart knows how to echo

Where the light begins to grow

So I’ll try anyway, tears and all

Even if I stumble, I won’t lose it all

I’ll rise through the ache, through the fear, through the grey

‘Cause even the lost find the dawn

When they try anyway
