Matbluesy - Out of the Dark Lyrics

I was down so low, couldn't see no sky,
Caught in a storm, didn't know how to fly.
But deep in my heart, somethin' kept me alive,
Oh, I had to find a way, I had to survive.
I used to stumble, used to fall to my knees,
But a fire inside, oh, it wouldn't let me freeze.

Oh, I've been down, I've been torn apart,
But I found the strength deep in my heart.
Now I'm standing tall, baby, can't you see?
Ain't no chains gonna hold me.

Oh, I'm rising, rising out of the dark,
Breaking those chains that left a mark.
I've been to the edge, I've seen the fall,
But now I'm standing, I'm ten feet tall.
Oh, I'm rising, baby, stronger than before,
Steppin' out the darkness, I'm closing that door.

I've walked through the fire, felt the heat on my skin,
But Lord, now I know I'm ready to win.
The weight I was carrying, oh, it tried to pull me down,
But I heard a voice saying, "Don't you drown."
Yeah, I was tangled up, caught in my own fight,
But I prayed and I prayed, 'til I saw the light.

Now I'm walking steady, with my head held high,
Ain't no more tears left in these eyes.
The pain tried to keep me in a cage,
But I broke those bars, I'm turning the page.

Oh, I'm rising, rising out of the dark,
Breaking those chains that left a mark.
I've been to the edge, I've seen the fall,
But now I'm standing, I'm ten feet tall.
Oh, I'm rising, baby, stronger than before,
Steppin' out the darkness, I'm closing that door.

I've seen the shadow, I've felt the cold,
But I reached for the light and took a hold.
Ain't no more running, ain't no more shame,
I'm walking proud, I've reclaimed my name.
I had to fight to find my way,
But now the clouds are clearing, and it's a brand new day.

Oh, I'm rising, rising out of the night,
Stepping in the sun, everything's all right.
I've been to the edge, I've seen the fall,
But I'm standing strong, baby, I've been through it all.
Oh, I'm rising, baby, feelin' brand new,
Ain't no more shadows, I'm walking into the truth.

I'm out of the dark, out of the rain,
I've shed that sorrow, I've shed that pain.
I'm rising, oh, yes I am,
Ain't no more chains holding this man.
I'm rising, rising out of the dark,
Yeah, I'm free now, got a brand new spark.
