[Verse 1]
She was born in a house so cold
Where love never stayed, just stories untold
Tiny hands reaching, lost in the storm
Her cries unheard, far from the norm
Scolded for little things, beaten for more
Told she was nothing, left hurt to the core
She tried to shine just to be seen
But only her siblings were called the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
She whispered, “He hurt me, I’m afraid,”
But they turned away, let the moment fade
Bruised in her soul, quiet and thin
She learned how to lose before life could begin
[Chorus]
She cried in the dark, where no one could see
Longing for love, for someone to be
The arms she had missed, the words she deserved
But silence and anger were all she had heard
But God softly whispered into the night
“You’re not alone, you’ll survive this fight”
She didn’t die when the pain cut deep
He held her heart — she learned to breathe
[Verse 2]
The boys came with lies and hunger in mind
Used her then left her, bleeding and blind
She gave all she had, still left alone
Her heart now in pieces, colder than stone
Tried to end it, the voices too loud
But grace pulled her back from under the cloud
In hospital beds, they still cursed her name
Said, “You’re a burden,” and left her in shame
[Pre-Chorus]
She ran from their voices, from the place she knew
Found herself standing where the cold wind blew
And just when the end felt close and near
A gentle voice rose, soft and clear…
[Chorus]
"You’ve cried in the dark, but now you can see
Love still exists, it waits patiently
You’re not your pain, you’re not your past
You’re a soul that was meant to last
He saw you broken, but you stayed
You’re not alone, you were always brave
Don’t die with your song still in your chest
Breathe, my dear, you deserve rest"
[Bridge]
He taught her love’s not fists or fear
It’s safety and truth that draw you near
She bloomed again through ash and stone
Found a man who called her home
[Final Chorus]
Now she’s no longer who they tried to erase
She’s a fire reborn with beauty and grace
She laughs with her soul, she dances in peace
Found the love she longed for piece by piece
Yes, God had a whisper deep in her grief
She didn’t die that night…
She learned to breathe.
