Nichole Nordeman - Sound Of Surviving (Official Lyric Video)

[00:05.38] They told me

[00:06.88] I'd never get to tell my story

[00:09.88] Too many bullet holes

[00:12.88] It would take a miracle

[00:16.88] These voices

[00:18.64] Inside my head like poison

[00:21.63] Trying to steal my hope

[00:24.63] Silencing my soul

[00:28.36] But my story is only now beginning

[00:32.89] Don't try to write my ending

[00:36.14] Nobody gets to sing my song

[00:41.62] This is the sound of surviving

[00:47.38] This is my farewell to fear

[00:53.14] This is my whole heart deciding

[00:57.38] I'm still here, I'm still here

[01:05.63] And I'm not done fighting

[01:10.63] This is the sound of surviving

[01:20.38] These pieces

[01:22.13] The ones that left me bleeding

[01:25.14] Intended for my pain

[01:27.88] Became the gift You gave me

[01:32.12] I gathered those pieces into a mountain

[01:36.37] My freedom is in view

[01:39.64] I'm stronger than I knew

[01:40.37] And this hill is not the one I die on

[01:48.78] I'm going to lift my eyes and

[01:51.69] I'm going to keep on climbing

[01:56.75] This is the sound of surviving

[02:02.50] This is my farewell to fear

[02:08.51] This is my whole heart deciding

[02:12.75] I'm still here, I'm still here

[02:20.76] And I'm not done fighting

[02:25.78] This is the sound of surviving

[02:32.75] I'm still here

[02:35.76] Say it to the ache, lying there awake

[02:40.42] Say it to your tears

[02:44.17] I'm still here

[02:46.17] Say it to the pain, say it to the rain

[02:51.91] Say it to your fear

[02:57.42] This is the sound of surviving

[03:03.42] This is my farewell to fear

[03:09.16] This is my whole heart deciding

[03:13.42] I'm still here, I'm still here

[03:21.66] And I'm not done fighting

[03:27.41] No, I'm not done fighting

[03:33.18] And I am still rising, rising

[03:38.91] I'm still rising

[03:44.91] And I'm not done fighting

[03:49.91] This is the sound of surviving
