Fireproof

[Verse]

I watched the sky fall on my quiet plans

Dreams turned to ash right in my hands

I cried in silence no one saw

But every crack became my law

[Verse]

They called it chaos—I called it birth

Of something deeper, forged in earth

You don’t grow roots in windless peace

You find your strength when comforts cease

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the storm was sent for me

What if the break was how I'm free

[Chorus]

I wear my wounds like armor now,

I broke, then rose, I don’t know how.

You see the scars—I see the light

They’re proof I’m here, I chose to fight

Don’t call me soft—I’ve stood through knives

I’m what survives when fear arrives

They think I’m fragile—let them try

I bloom in storms they can't survive

When storms explode, I come alive,

I bloom like thunder, fierce and wild.

[Bridge]

Is resilience comfort’s child or pain’s

Was I reborn inside the rains

[VERSE]

I didn’t bloom when skies were blue

But under storms that split me through

The peace was nice, but fire taught

The grit and gold I never bought

[VERSE]

Would I have risen without the storm

Did calm ever help me transform

The lightning carved me into stone

I learned to fight when all alone

They said I’d break—I turned to flame

And made the ashes know my name

[Chorus]

I wear my wounds like armor now,

I broke, then rose, I don’t know how.

You see the scars—I see the light

They’re proof I’m here, I chose to fight

Don’t call me soft—I’ve stood through knives

I’m what survives when fear arrives

They think I’m fragile—let them try

I bloom in storms they can't survive

When storms explode, I come alive,

I bloom like thunder, fierce and wild.

[VERSE]

Would I be this strong if life was kind

Or did the fire forge my mind

It wasn’t ease that made me whole

But shattered dreams that shaped my soul

The heat, the loss, the uphill climb—

That’s how I turned my pain to time

[Bridge]

Do I regret the nights I cried

Or thank the fire I survived

[VERSE]

Each tear I wept, a holy rite

That lit my soul and gave me sight

Not built in ease, not born in grace—

But shaped by trial I had to face

[VERSE]

Did I survive or did I grow

From all the hell I came to know

Survival was the seed, but then—

I grew through cracks again, again

The calm was sweet but never taught

What only fire ever brought

[VERSE]

If life was soft, would I be strong

Or would I break when things went wrong

I learned to laugh inside the flame

To wear my failure without shame

The calm was nice, but never real—

The burn is what taught me to heal

[Chorus]

I wear my wounds like armor now,

I broke, then rose, I don’t know how.

You see the scars—I see the light

They’re proof I’m here, I chose to fight

Don’t call me soft—I’ve stood through knives

I’m what survives when fear arrives

They think I’m fragile—let them try

I bloom in storms they can't survive

When storms explode, I come alive,

I bloom like thunder, fierce and wild.

[Bridge]

You learn the shape of who you are

When all you love is torn apart

And still, somehow, you choose to rise—

With soot-stained hope behind your eyes

[Outro]

Let them bring the flood, the fight, the fall

I’ve danced through ruin—I’ve faced it all

So don’t ask why I’m standing tall—

I’ve been through hell and I still crawl
