[Intro]
In the shadows of my childhood, I saw the pain,
A little heart, trying to break free from the chain.
Dreams of a better life, fighting through the rain,
Living with the scars, feeling all the strain.
[Verse 1]
Momma's tears, dad's storm, chaos in my home,
Fear so deep, I felt alone, nowhere to roam,
Wanted to be strong, join a gang to protect,
Lost in the darkness, with no safety net.
[Pre-Chorus]
Crossed the oceans, chasing hope, seeking a new start,
Faces mocking, closed doors, scars in my heart.
Every hardship, every tear, they built my soul,
But love's the anchor that keeps me whole.
[Chorus]
From the shadows to the light, I fought to be free,
With my wife, my guiding star, she stands with me.
No matter the insults, no matter the pain,
Together we’ll rise, break through the rain.
[Bridge]
Hard times, cold nights, but we hold on tight,
In her love, I find my fight.
Building dreams from broken pieces, strong and true,
A future painted in hope, anew.
[Outro]
Now I stand tall, with love in my eyes,
Through tears and trials, I’ve learned to rise.
Family’s my strength, my shield, my song,
Together forever, where I belong.
