Lyrics:
​
(Verse 1)
I’m a believer,
Trying to perceive with,
The eyes of my heart,
Not what i’m seeing,
I’ve been in a battle,
At war with the shadows,
Breaking down bars,
Setting fire to shackles,
(Pre-Chorus)
Refusing to lose it,
found my marbles to prove it,
And Gracing my scars,
Like I’ve never been through it,
I’m more than conquerer,
The words of my father,
My is Soul ablaze,
Like the sun after darkness,
(Chorus)
Like the Sun after darkness,
Never stayed down, Now I can say,
Like the Sun after darkness,
A brand New smile, and Style awaits,
Like the Sun after darkness,
Immaculate picture in the frame,
Like the Sun after darkness,
Nothing can dim my glowing rays,
(Verse 2)
I’m in my season,
I Don’t need a reason,
To sing my song,
Cause the fact I’m breathing,
Is proof in the pudding,
And I’ve got my footing,
Not stumbling down,
Walk tightropes without looking,
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
