[Intro]
Yeah, life’s been a rough ride, but I’m still standing tall
Story of a soldier, through the rise and fall
From darkness to light, I’m finding my way
For my baby boy Sylas, I gotta survive one more day
[Verse 1]
Grew up in the shadows, scars deep in my mind
Walked through fire, left the pain behind
Battled my demons, fought through the rain
Lost so much, but still I’m here, alive once again
Tears in my eyes, but my heart beat is strong
Every scar's a story, every beating made me strong
Trials and ghosts, my ex stepmom yeah, they tried to break me
But I rise from the ashes, the world is mine for the taking
[Pre-Chorus]
From broken to whole, I’m rewriting my story
Every day’s a step, towards hope and glory
Got a new reason, a new purpose to fight
Sylas in my arms, my baby's guiding light
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m suffering but I’m growing
Pain in my past, but hope keeps showing
Even when the darkness surrounds all of me
Love is the answer that unbound me
I’m alive, momma I’m trying, rising from the pain
This life’s a crazy battle, but I’ll dance out in the rain
For my baby boy, I’ll break every chain
With his love and courage, I’ll alwaysremain
[Verse 2]
Tough times made me, but I refuse to break
Each scar a lesson, for my own sake
My heart is heavy but my spirit’s free
Sylas, my hope, my destiny
From prison cells to broken homes
I’ve walked alone but now I’ve grown
Life's Lessons learned, I wear my scars never to proud
A father’s love, dying love, to God I cry out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
From broken to whole, I’m rewriting my story
Every day’s a step, every days a journey
Got a new reason, a new purpose to fight
Sylas in my arms, God gave me a guiding light
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m suffering but I’m growing
Pain in my past, but hope keeps showing
Even when the darkness surrounds me
Love is the answer that unbounds me
I’m alive, I’m trying, rising from the pain
This life’s a downhill battle, but I will remain
For my baby boy, I’ll break every chain
With love and courage, I’ll remain
[Bridge]
Every tear, every struggle, led me right here
To love my youngest son, to conquer dying fear
From the depths of despair, I rise on fire anew
For Sylas, I swear I’ll fight to see this through
[Outro]
Yes, I’ve suffered, yes, I’ve fought
But love's the victory I’ve sought
My little Sylas, my reason to be
Forever proud, forever free
