Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Eric Sansonetti keeps his head down low Sleeves rolled up, letting the past still show Army ghosts in the back of his mind But he walks real steady like he’s outrunning time Chuck Taylors worn through, soles paper-thin Every crack in the sidewalk knows where he’s been He don’t talk about war, he don’t talk about pain But it leaks through the silence every time it rains Pre-Chorus He learned how to breathe when the world went dark Learned how to live with a permanent mark Chorus Eric Sansonetti Concrete under his feet Toyota Tacoma humming Like a heartbeat that won’t sleep He’s still standing when the night won’t end Still learning how to just be a man Yeah, Eric Sansonetti Carries weight he’ll never say But he shows up every day Verse 2 Dashboard lights flicker like old memories Every mile another chance to feel free Rearview mirror holds too much truth But he keeps driving forward like he’s got nothing to lose He’s the kind of strong you don’t notice at first The kind that survives by swallowing hurt Laughs just enough to keep things alive But his eyes still fight battles every night Pre-Chorus He traded a rifle for family ties Still hears the echoes when the house goes quiet Chorus Eric Sansonetti Concrete under his feet Toyota Tacoma humming Like a heartbeat that won’t sleep He’s still standing when the night won’t end Still learning how to just be a man Yeah, Eric Sansonetti Carries weight he’ll never say But he shows up every day Bridge (Breakdown – quiet, then builds) If the walls could talk, they’d say his name If the scars could sing, they’d sound like rain He doesn’t ask for saving He doesn’t ask for praise Just a little peace at the end of the day (Build) He’s more than the things he survived More than the wars he left behind Final Chorus (Full band, emotional) Eric Sansonetti Feet on cracked concrete Chuck Taylors holding him Together when he feels weak From battlefields to broken nights He’s still choosing to stay alive Yeah, Eric Sansonetti Not a statue, not a saint Just a heart that learned to break Outro Tacoma fades into the streetlight glow Another long road, but he’s not alone Yeah, some heroes scream, some bleed quietly Eric Sansonetti—that’s bravery.
