(Chorus)
From the shadows I rise, with a fire in my soul,
Martial arts saved me, now I'm taking control.
Through the pain and the struggles, I’m learning to trust,
With a fighter’s heart, I’ll help those who are crushed.
Those who can’t fight, I’ll be their light,
Turning darkness to dawn, I’m ready to fight.
(Verse 1)
Yo, born in a storm, where the pain never sleeps,
Hidin' in corners, watchin' the darkness creep.
Hands raised in fear, but the heart kept beating,
Bruises on the surface, but the spirit’s still seeking.
A boy in the shadows, stuck in a cage,
Fighting with demons, lost in a rage.
Then came the dojo, where whispers turn to shouts,
Discipline and focus, that’s what it’s about.
(Pre-Chorus)
Sweat drips down, and I’m learning to breathe,
Kicks and punches, got a chance to believe.
Each bout a reminder, I’m more than my scars,
Gonna rise up proud, like the light from the stars.
(Chorus)
From the shadows I rise, with a fire in my soul,
Martial arts saved me, now I'm taking control.
Through the pain and the struggles, I’m learning to trust,
With a fighter’s heart, I’ll help those who are crushed.
Those who can’t fight, I’ll be their light,
Turning darkness to dawn, I’m ready to fight.
(Verse 2)
Still haunted by echoes, the past won’t let go,
Triggers set me off, like a soldier in the throes.
PTSD whispers, it’s a long, winding road,
But I learn every lesson, collecting my code.
Compassion in my punches, love in my stance,
I’m here for the brothers and sisters, they get a chance.
I see the boy in the corner, he’s hiding his tears,
I’ll show him the way, help him face his fears.
(Pre-Chorus)
One step at a time, we’ll break down the walls,
Together we’re stronger, we’ll rise when we fall.
Heart full of hope, and the strength to believe,
In a world full of hurt, we’ll find our reprieve.
(Chorus)
From the shadows I rise, with a fire in my soul,
Martial arts saved me, now I'm taking control.
Through the pain and the struggles, I’m learning to trust,
With a fighter’s heart, I’ll help those who are crushed.
Those who can’t fight, I’ll be their light,
Turning darkness to dawn, I’m ready to fight.
(Bridge)
Got scars on my body, but my heart is pure gold,
A warrior in the making, with a story untold.
From the rage to the kindness, I’m building the bridge,
Turning pain into power, I’m living on the edge.
Fighting for the helpless, standing up for the weak,
Voices that were silenced, now together we speak.
(Chorus)
From the shadows I rise, with a fire in my soul,
Martial arts saved me, now I'm taking control.
Through the pain and the struggles, I’m learning to trust,
With a fighter’s heart, I’ll help those who are crushed.
Those who can’t fight, I’ll be their light,
Turning darkness to dawn, I’m ready to fight.
