Lyrics

Jasmine,

You got married young, thinking you were stepping into a forever kind of love, and instead you ended up in a storm you never asked for. That man tried to control you, break you, make you doubt your own worth. But here’s the part that matters most: you are not there anymore. You walked out of that darkness. You chose yourself, your safety, your future. That takes a kind of strength most people talk about but never actually show.

(Chorus) just trying to put my past behind me make myself proud of my family proud pay my way through life. Keep my faith with the big man upstairs. Just hope we all can find our way and be successful every day.

Now you’re standing in a whole different light. You’ve got a family that rides for you, supports you, believes in you even on the days you’re still learning to believe in yourself. That’s a blessing, and you deserve every bit of it.

When people talk to you, they can feel something real—this quiet power, this survivor energy, this sense that you’re going somewhere. And those eyes of yours? Green like nothing you have ever seen sharp and unforgettable. They’ve seen pain, but they also shine with hope, with fight, with a future that’s wide open.

You’re not just “getting over” what happened—you’re building something new. Every step you take toward your goals, every time you laugh again, every time you trust a little more, you’re proving that your past does not define you. You’re going to be successful, not just because people say it, but because it’s in you.

(Chorus) just trying to put my pass behind me make myself proud of my family proud pay my way through life. Keep my faith with the big man upstairs. Just hope we all can find our way and be successful every day.

You’ve already done one of the hardest things a person can do: you left what was breaking you. Now you get to create a life that heals you.

So keep your head up, Jasmine. Let those green eyes look forward, not back. You are worthy of gentle love, of real happiness, of a life that feels safe and full. The worst part of your story is behind you. What’s in front of you is growth, peace, and a future that’s as bright as you decide to make it.
