[Intro]
Scrolling through the shadows, trying to find my light
Fighting every battle, even on the darkest night
[Verse 1]
Born in '85, with empty hands and hope deferred
Parents lost in their worlds, their silence like a canyon's word
Kicked out at fourteen, didn't know where I was supposed to go
Sent to prison at sixteen, having to fight just to be left alone. Stuck in solitary confinement 23 hours a day to be released at age 19 with no clue what it was going to take to make it.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I survived, I kept on fighting, through the storm and rain
Looking for a reason, for a place in this life's game
[Chorus]
I'm searching for my way, through the tears and the pain
Chains of the past try to hold me, but I rise again
Found a love that saved me from the cold, from the lonely nights
With Snowball and Nala, I’m walking into the light
[Verse 2]
No help, no friends, just my shadow and my scars
Homeless wind, still dreaming of reaching for the stars
Met a soul who offered love, a home inside his heart
Built a new beginning, a brand new start
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I believe, I can breathe, in this life I’ve rebuilt
Healing from the memories, turning pain into silk
[Chorus]
I'm searching for my way, through the tears and the pain
Chains of the past try to hold me, but I rise again
Found a love that saved me from the cold, from the lonely nights
With Snowball and Nala, I’m walking into the light
[Bridge]
Every scar's a story, every fall’s a chance to climb
Hope is a rebel, breaking free in the nick of time
Love is my refuge, my sanctuary, my song
Stronger than ever, where I belong
[Outro]
So here I stand, brave and free, I’ve come so far
Guided by the love that’s brighter than any star
Snowball wagging, Nala by my side, we’ll live this story true
This is my journey, this is my breakthrough
