Battles to Brilliance

Hey there, little one, can you hear me?

Talking through the shadows of who I used to be

Got some stories and some lessons from the past

Hope you’re listening, 'cause this moment will last

Growing up, I was fighting silent wars alone

Heavy boots on my heart, hardened to the bone

Thought I knew it all, had to learn the hard way

Little victories in the dark, patient for the day

Now I see those storms were building me

Turning scars into what I need to be

Every bruise, every tear, it’s all part of the view

Future me is proud of the battles I fought through

Because nothing compares to what I’ve become

All the fights, the falls, the fears I outrun

Hold on, little one, the pain’s just a phase

Look how far I’ve come, I’m stronger today

Lost in the noise, doubted every step

But I kept walking, refused to forget

That even in darkness, I found my spark

Guided by hope, igniting the dark

Those nights made me who I am

A warrior with a heart to understand

Every lesson, every scar, a melody in tune

Building a future brighter than the moon

Because nothing compares to what I’ve become

All the fights, the falls, the fears I outrun

Hold on, little one, the pain’s just a phase

Look how far I’ve come, I’m stronger today

So here’s to the battles, to the tears we've cried

To the fears we faced, and the dreams that never died

You’re just beginning, but keep walking tall

Future me will catch you when you fall

Hey little one, keep the faith alive

Every struggle’s a step, a reason to survive

Now I stand here, proud to say

Your past's shaping the future every day
