When I'm gone - Ryker

[Intro] When I'm gone... you'll watch me from below Wasn't there in the cold, now you wanna know [Verse 1] You ain't see me when the nights cut deep When I prayed on the floor, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat No hand reached down when I drowned in the dark Just me and the Lord and the weight on my heart Now I'm climbing, every step that I take Built from the breaking, made strong from the ache You showed up late when the storm finally passed Now you watch me move — but the moment won't last [Hook] When I'm gone, you'll see me standing strong Lifted by the Most High, where I always belonged Wasn't there for the pain, won't be there for the throne I got God in me — and I did it alone [Verse 2] Mind made of stone where the doubt used to live I gave myself everything you couldn't give No crowd in the trenches, just faith and my name Came up through the silence, came up through the shame Growing, I'm glowing, I'm making my moves Nothing left to explain and I've nothing to prove You can look from the bottom, you can call out my name I'm too high for the echo — I'm not the same [Bridge / Ethereal build] (I rise... I rise...) Lifted higher, lifted slow (I rise... I rise...) Everything I needed, I already know
