Another Day to Rise

Rev Theory

I woke up with the weight of yesterday
Dust on my hands, yeah, I tried but I slipped away
Every promise that I couldn't keep
Echoes loud when the night gets deep

I've been running from the man I see
Broken mirror staring back at me
Every scar, every wrong turn made
Still I'm breathing, still I'm not too late

I fall, I break, I bend, I bleed
But something won't let go of me
We're not perfect, we're just breathing
Chasing light through all the bleeding

Every step, yeah, we miss the mark
Still there's fire inside the dark
Hands up, I won't deny it
I've been lost but still I'm fighting

Mercy meets me every time
Another day, another day to rise
I've worn guilt like a second skin
Let it drag me down, let it pull me in

Every doubt like a loaded gun
But grace says, son, you're not the one
I've been one step from giving in
Right on the edge of where I've been

But a voice cuts through the noise I made
Says: Get back up, you're not too far away
I fall, I break, I bend, I bleed
But something still believes in me

We're not perfect, we're just breathing
Chasing light through all the bleeding
Every step, yeah, we miss the mark
Still there's fire inside the dark

Hands up, I won't deny it
I've been lost but still I'm fighting
Mercy meets me every time
Another day, another day to rise
Yeah

I've been down on my knees in the wreckage
Every prayer felt like it got rejected
But I'm still here, yeah, I'm still standing
Not by my strength, something greater's landing

You don't leave when I'm at my worst
You don't turn when I hit the dirt
Every breath is a second chance
So I'm getting up, yeah, I'm getting up again

We're not perfect, we're just breathing
Still forgiven, still believing
Every step, yeah, we miss the mark
But You light a fire in the dark

Hands high, I'm not hiding
Through the fall, You're still guiding
Mercy meets me every time
Another day, another day to rise

Another day
Another fight
Another chance to make it right
