Lyrics
[verse]
Slow and soft, the strings begin
Every wound beneath my skin
Dreamed of more than what I had
Turned the good times from the bad
[verse]
Nights were long and hope was thin
Still I fought to just begin
Every door that slammed on me
Built the man I had to be
[chorus]
Dreams turn dark before they shine
Nightmares taught me every line
Rising up from broken ground
This the sound of what I found
[verse]
Now the strings turn hard and loud
Standing tall above the crowd
Every scar I wear with pride
Proof of all I left behind
[chorus]
Dreams turn dark before they shine
Nightmares taught me every line
Rising up from broken ground
This the sound of what I found
[bridge]
Thunder rolling, drums arrive
Everything I did to survive
Nothing given, all it's earned
Watch the empire that I've turned
[chorus]
Dreams turn dark before they shine
Nightmares taught me every line
Rising up from broken ground
This the sound of what I found
