[Verse 1]
Thank you creator for the breaking skies
For the crumbled ground the tear-filled eyes
Lessons in the thorn and jagged stone
Where I fall I stand where I'm alone
[Chorus]
Life ain't smooth it ain't a paved road
Struggles hit hard but that’s how I’ve grown
Choking on the dust still I rise higher
Burned by the fight but fed by the fire
[Verse 2]
You gave me storms and I learned to steer
Faced my demons my blood ran clear
Each battle carved me each wound could teach
Growth lives on the edge always out of reach
[Chorus]
Life ain't smooth it ain't a paved road
Struggles hit hard but that’s how I’ve grown
Choking on the dust still I rise higher
Burned by the fight but fed by the fire
[Bridge]
Break me down reshape my soul
Mend the cracks to make me whole
Thank you creator for pain in disguise
For lessons written in dirt and skies
[Chorus]
Life ain't smooth it ain't a paved road
Struggles hit hard but that’s how I’ve grown
Choking on the dust still I rise higher
Burned by the fight but fed by the fire
