lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came up with bruised hands
Still I folded back the fear
Mama said, "Don't let 'em name you"
I been fighting through the years
Cold nights, empty pockets
Still I kept my chin up high
Every time they told me "never"
I just looked 'em in the eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel that heat in my chest
Like a match under rain
I been carrying this weight
Turned my losses into gain
If I fall, I rise again
Got my scars for a crown
I was built from the breaks
Now watch me shake the ground
[Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I'm still here and I’m built to climb
[Verse 2]
I saw friends turn distant
Saw the doubt in their grin
Had to learn what faith looks like
When the walls cave in
Took the long road home
With a storm in my mind
But I found my name in the struggle
Left the fear behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel that heat in my chest
Like a match under rain
I been carrying this weight
Turned my losses into gain
If I fall, I rise again
Got my scars for a crown
I was built from the breaks
Now watch me shake the ground
[Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I'm still here and I’m built to climb
[Bridge]
If the world goes quiet
I can hear my own heart say
"You don't need their permission"
Breathe in, push through, stay
I was made for this pressure
Made to break, then make it through
Every scar on my body
Says I came back new
[Final Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I’m still here and I’m built to climb
I came up with bruised hands
Still I folded back the fear
Mama said, "Don't let 'em name you"
I been fighting through the years
Cold nights, empty pockets
Still I kept my chin up high
Every time they told me "never"
I just looked 'em in the eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel that heat in my chest
Like a match under rain
I been carrying this weight
Turned my losses into gain
If I fall, I rise again
Got my scars for a crown
I was built from the breaks
Now watch me shake the ground
[Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I'm still here and I’m built to climb
[Verse 2]
I saw friends turn distant
Saw the doubt in their grin
Had to learn what faith looks like
When the walls cave in
Took the long road home
With a storm in my mind
But I found my name in the struggle
Left the fear behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel that heat in my chest
Like a match under rain
I been carrying this weight
Turned my losses into gain
If I fall, I rise again
Got my scars for a crown
I was built from the breaks
Now watch me shake the ground
[Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I'm still here and I’m built to climb
[Bridge]
If the world goes quiet
I can hear my own heart say
"You don't need their permission"
Breathe in, push through, stay
I was made for this pressure
Made to break, then make it through
Every scar on my body
Says I came back new
[Final Chorus]
Hold my line, hold my line
I been working for this all my life
Hold my line, hold my line
I won't fold, I will shine tonight
(I will shine tonight)
Hold my line, hold my line
Turn my pain into gold this time
Hold my line, hold my line
I’m still here and I’m built to climb
