[Intro]
Through the storm, through the strife
You’ve been right here in my life
My family, my true friends
Together 'til the very end
[Verse 1]
Walking through the shadows, seen the fake disguise
Brightest lies they told me, hidden in their eyes
But you stood firm beside me, through the raging winds
The real ones, they’re forever, let the rest pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar, every tear, we’ve grown stronger still
In a world full of illusions, you keep it real
No matter what they say, no matter what they do
My people, my protectors, I got you
[Chorus]
This one’s for the family, for the friends who stayed
Through the fire and the rain, never walked away
Every moment, every story, every laugh and fight
You’re my shining stars in the darkest night
[Verse 2]
Countless faces, many vanished, only true ones remain
Learning who’s real, who’s fake, healing all the pain
Through betrayal and the heartbreak, you’ve been my shield
In a world full of noise, your love is real
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar, every tear, we’ve grown stronger still
In a world full of illusions, you keep it real
No matter what they say, no matter what they do
My people, my protectors, I got you
[Chorus]
This one’s for the family, for the friends who stayed
Through the fire and the rain, never walked away
Every moment, every story, every laugh and fight
You’re my shining stars in the darkest night
[Bridge]
Fake friends may come, fake friends may go
But I’ve got the ones who never let me go
You’re the roots that keep me grounded, the wind that lifts my wings
Together, forever, through whatever life brings
[Outro]
So here’s to the true, the loyal, the brave
The ones who’ve been with me all along, who never betrayed
Family and friends, my heart’s melody
With you, I’m free, I’ve everything I need
