Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your heart was never glass but clay
Fired in a kiln of a thousand days, growing stronger
You watch the shoreline pull away the sand, learning to
Hold water with no open hand
Disillusionment is just the salt we taste
A seasoning for what the waves will not erase
Iron in the marrow, fire in the veins
Rising like a tide that doesn't mind the rain
You are the architect of every new horizon in sight
A warrior in the silence, sharper and clearer
Keep swinging the hammer, keep your spirit high
You were made to rise long after they expected you to fall
You were made to rise long after they expected you to fall
Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Bruises are just maps of where you've been
Not a cage to trap the future inside
The mountain has changed, yes the paths are overgrown
But iron isn't iron until it has withstood the test of the hole in the
Alone, Adele, the night is long, but your vision is clearer
There's no room for ghosts when the horizon is near
Iron in the marrow, fire in the veins
Rising like a tide that doesn't mind the rain
You are the architect of every new horizon in sight
A warrior in the silence, sharper and clearer
Keep swinging the hammer, keep your spirit high
You were made to rise long after they expected you to fall
You were made to rise long after they expected you to fall
Let the new storms gather, let the clouds turn gray
You've already left yesterday's wreckage behind
Still standing, still breathing, still Adele
More than the stories they try to make you tell
Oh, mm, I'm on the same path, same horizon, I'm still here
