Utopia - Pride Lyrics

I've walked alone, through the darkest nights
Carried the weight, fought the silent fights
Every scar is a story I own
Each step forward, a kingdom I've grown

They tried to break me, thought I'd fold
But I'm fire running wild, burning bold
What they don't see, what they don't know
Is the strength in the cracks where the light will show

Pride, it's the armor I wear
A flame in my heart, a fist in the air
Pride, it's the voice in my soul
Screaming I'm here, and I'm in control

I've been silenced, pushed to the ground
But every fall taught me how to stand my ground
No apologies for the way I rise
This is my truth, and it's written in the skies

They see the fight, but not the cost
Every battle won comes with something lost
But I won't bow, I won't fade
I'm the spark in the dark that the storm couldn't take

Pride, it's the armor I wear
A flame in my heart, a fist in the air
Pride, it's the voice in my soul
Screaming I'm here, and I'm in control

Pride isn't perfect, it's bruised and bent
It's rising from ashes, it's heaven-sent
It's a crown made of fire, a heart of steel
It's the one thing they can't ever steal

Pride, it's my battle cry
A banner I wave as I reach for the sky
Pride, it's my truth, it's my fight
It's my soul ablaze in the dead of night
