[Verse]
Mirror's cracked but I see the fight
Every scar's a mark of trying to make it right
Ashes of my past whisper in the wind
But I'm chasing a place where I can begin
[Verse 2]
Climbing high on this broken road
The weight of guilt such a heavy load
But I hear their laughter echo in my chest
A reminder I'm striving to be my best
[Chorus]
I'm working to be proud of this man I see
A father they'd say loved endlessly
Forgiven by grace under skies so true
Building a foundation stronger than I knew
[Verse 3]
Night falls doubts creep and call
But I rise again I refuse to crawl
They're watching me grow I'm breaking chains
The storms I walk through won't end in vain
[Bridge]
Used to run from the man in the frame
Now I fight the pull of regret and shame
For them for me for what lies ahead
I'm alive not buried by what once was said
[Chorus]
I'm working to be proud of this man I see
A father they'd say loved endlessly
Forgiven by grace under skies so true
Building a foundation stronger than I knew
