Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh
Mmm
Mmm
[Verse 1]
Only love could bring us
Bring us to this bitter plane
Only one of us
Who's gonna walk away
Here in the deep below
That only darkness really knows
I'm hoping for a humble seed to grow
[Verse 2]
No, I won't surrender to this hard hearted night
Though I know the sun's gonna bring the palest of light
And all that remains is everything that's gone
This life is mine so I'll carry on
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna hold on
I'm falling in the dark below
I feel I'm falling in the big unknown
Here in the deep below
I will rise, I will rise again
A humble seed will grow
[Verse 3]
I have to go back to pull me from the wreck
I know it's not over yet
There's no fire and no flame
On this cold, cold plane
No way to measure my pain
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna hold on
I'm falling in the dark below
I feel I'm falling in the big unknown
I will rise, I will rise, I will rise again
A humble seed will grow
