Laced up shoes on a cracked old floor
Heart beats loud like a war drum roar
Mirror don’t lie, but it don’t define
Who I’m becoming one rep at a time
Sweat on my skin, yeah the grind runs deep
Fighting the doubt that don’t let me sleep
Every scar got a story to say
“I didn’t quit—I found a way”
It’s not overnight, it’s brick by brick
Some days I fall, but I rise up quick
Building up, yeah the fight is real
One day at a time, I learn to heal
Recovery, growth in every breath
I’m pushing past pain, I’m cheating death
Never give up, never back down
Even when I’m lost, I hold my ground
Strength and power, I earn my name
Stronger every day—I embrace the pain
Weight on my shoulders, iron and doubt
But I dig deep, I let it all out
No shortcuts here, no easy way
This is a war I choose to stay
Muscle and mind, they’re both in the fight
Dark turns to fire, wrong turns to right
Every setback builds my core
I’m not the man I was before
Slow progress still moves the line
This kind of strength just takes time
Building up, yeah the fight is real
One day at a time, I learn to heal
Recovery, growth in every breath
I’m pushing past pain, I’m cheating death
Never give up, never back down
Even when I’m lost, I hold my ground
Strength and power, I earn my name
Stronger every day—I embrace the pain
This fight’s a journey, not a race
No finish line I need to chase
Every drop of sweat, every tear I face
Is building something time can’t erase
Fall seven times, stand up eight
I don’t break—I recreate
From the ashes, I ignite
Turn my weakness into might
Building up, yeah the fight is real
One day at a time, I choose to heal
Recovery and growth in every scar
Reminds me just how strong we are
Never give up, never back down
I wear my struggle like a crown
Strength and power in my veins
Stronger every day through the pain
One day stronger… one more round
Feet still rising off the ground
This fight’s my life, I own the way
Not done yet… just stronger each day
