[Intro]
Echoes of a quiet dawn, a story etched in scars
Worn out little shoes and a trembling heart that’s scarred
[Verse 1]
Four decades, fighting tides that never seem to cease
Clutching hopes and fading dreams, praying for some peace
Working late through every night, just to keep us afloat
Carrying burdens I can't speak of, stories I won't show
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day’s a battle, a silent war within
But I hold on to love, to the faith where it begins
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m still standing, even through the rain
Through the tears and struggle, I face the pain
Giving all I have, for my children's smile
Walking this hard road, mile after mile
[Verse 2]
Taking care of others’ little ones, while my own dreams hide
A sister’s child in my arms, memories I can't deny
Balancing hopes and fears, a heart so worn but brave
Fighting to keep hope alive, in this life I pave
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I pray, for strength to carry on
In this endless fight, till dawn's first light is gone
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m still standing, even through the rain
Through the tears and struggle, I face the pain
Giving all I have, for my children's smile
Walking this hard road, mile after mile
[Bridge]
There’s a fire within me, burning bright despite the dark
A love so fierce, it’s left its everlasting mark
No matter how heavy, I will rise again if I must
In my broken wings, I still believe in trust
[Outro]
So I carry on, with every breath I take
For love and hope, for every mistake
This is my story, my fight, my song
In this life of struggle, I belong
Forever strong, forever strong.
