Through the scars

[Intro]
(soft hums)
Mmm… yeah…
Ooo…

[Verse 1]
I see you standing in the mirror
With a past you never chose
Young girl carrying the weight
Of a story never told
There’s a tremble in your voice
But your heart still full of grace
You learned to love the world
While it tried to take your faith

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know the nights you cried
Or the fears you had to hide
But I know the strength it takes
Just to still be kind

[Chorus]
’Cause I see you, I see you
Through the pain, through the scars, through the truth
I see you, I see you
Turn your wounds into something beautiful
You’ve been broken, you’ve been bruised
But you still let the light come through
Yeah I see you…
And I’m so proud of you

[Verse 2]
You forgot your worth for a moment
Let the dark define your name
Tried to cut away the feelings
Just to feel something again
Every mark was a reminder
Of a war you had to fight
But you walked out of the fire
With your soul still full of light

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish I could’ve held you then
When you didn’t feel enough
But look at you now, still standing
That’s real love

[Chorus – stronger]
’Cause I see you, I see you
Every tear that you never showed
I see you, I see you
You survived what could’ve took your soul
You’ve been tested, you’ve been tried
But you learned how to rise
Yeah I see you…
And you’re stronger than you know

[Bridge – emotional peak]
They tried to break your spirit
Tried to make you feel small
But you turned all that pain
Into purpose, into gold
Now you shine like a star
In the middle of the dark
And I swear, every scar
Is just proof of your heart

[Final Chorus]
I see you (I see you)
I see you (I see you)
Not just who you were, but who you became
I see you (I see you)
I see you (I see you)
And I’ll always be proud to say your name

[Outro]
Mmm…
You’ll always have a place in my heart
I see you grow…
I see you glow…
Yeah… I see you.
