Read the lyric sheet
Verse 1
Every doubt they threw became my lift-off fuel Turned the warnings into windows, broke the gravity rule Pressure on my shoulders, but it forged a fire Every failure pointed upward, whispering “go higher” Climbed through shadows that were meant to dim my spark Mapped constellations in the places left in the dark I kept the vision steady even when the world shook Now the universe is open like a page in my book
Chorus
Gravity can’t hold me down tonight I’m breaking through the atmosphere in flight Every heavy moment turned to light I rise, I rise, I rise despite
Verse 2
They said stay grounded, but my heart said “ascend” Dreams weren’t made to shrink just to make others blend I saw mountains melt when purpose powered my stride Every setback was a slingshot pulling me toward the sky Storms taught me rhythm, quiet taught me flame A thousand doubts echoed but none spoke my name Now I’m weightless, fearless, orbiting my truth Defying every limit since the days of my youth
Bridge
When the world said no, I learned to redefine All the rules they wrote weren’t ever meant for mine
Verse 3
I stand on the wreckage of the fears I outgrew Made a runway from the ruins of what I once knew Each heartbeat louder than the storms that tried to drown Every “almost” moment lifting me off the ground If gravity gets jealous, let it pull and fight I’m a meteor in motion cutting through the night I’m a testament that rising is a skill you learn And flight is born in ashes where your old doubts burn
Chorus
Gravity can’t hold me down tonight I’m breaking through the atmosphere in flight Every heavy moment turned to light I rise, I rise, I rise despite
Bridge 2
Hold your breath, feel the shift inside This is where the wings arrive
Chorus
Gravity can’t hold me down tonight I’m breaking through the atmosphere in flight Every heavy moment turned to light I rise, I rise, I rise despite Gravity can’t hold me down tonight I’m breaking through the atmosphere in flight Every heavy moment turned to light I rise, I rise, I rise despite
Outro
Upward is the only direction now Watch me disappear into the clouds
Inside the recording
Every doubt they threw became my lift-off fuel Turned the warnings into windows, broke the gravity rule
Gravity can’t hold me down tonight I’m breaking through the atmosphere in flight
Upward is the only direction now Watch me disappear into the clouds
