Nichole Nordeman - Sound Of Surviving lyrics

[Verse 1] They told me I’d never get to tell my story Too many bullet holes It would take a miracle These voices Inside my head like poison Trying to steal my hope Silencing my soul [Pre-Chorus 1] But my story is only now beginning Don’t try to write my ending Nobody gets to sing my song [Chorus 1] This is the sound of surviving This is my farewell to fear This is my whole heart deciding I’m still here, I’m still here And I’m not done fighting This is the sound of surviving [Verse 2] These pieces The ones that left me bleeding Intended for my pain Became the gift You gave me I gathered those pieces into a mountain My freedom is in view I’m stronger than I knew [Pre-Chorus 2] And this hill is not the one I die on I’m going to lift my eyes and I’m going to keep on climbing [Chorus 1] This is the sound of surviving This is my farewell to fear This is my whole heart deciding I’m still here, I’m still here And I’m not done fighting This is the sound of surviving [Bridge] I’m still here Say it to the ache, lying there awake Say it to your tears I’m still here Say it to the pain, say it to the rain Say it to your fear [Chorus 2] This is the sound of surviving This is my farewell to fear This is my whole heart deciding I’m still here, I’m still here And I’m not done fighting No, I’m not done fighting And I am still rising, rising I’m still rising And I’m not done fighting This is the sound of surviving
