[Verse 1]
Even when it's dark, I stay awake
I learned to breathe through the break
Living with the weight on my skin
Still I find a way to begin
I know what it costs to stay
I know what it means to pray
My hands shake, but they don't fold
I keep my fire in the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in my children
That's the line I hold
When the fear gets louder
I get hard, I get bold
[Chorus]
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
They are the reason I still stand
I won't let go of my own hand
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
Even when the night gets cruel
I rise up strong for them, for you
[Verse 2]
There were days I couldn't speak
Just a knot there in my cheek
But the chair by the window stayed
And the bread on the table stayed
Tiny shoes by the door
I lived for more and more
For the laugh in the next room
For the sun after the bruise
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in my children
That's the spark I keep
When the whole world trembles
I don't fall asleep
[Chorus]
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
They are the reason I still stand
I won't let go of my own hand
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
Even when the night gets cruel
I rise up strong for them, for you
[Bridge]
Set me down, I'll still grow
From the ashes, let me go
I was broken, now I'm true
I can make a path for two
[Final Chorus]
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
They are the reason I still stand
I won't let go of my own hand
I will keep living for my kids
I will keep living, I will live
Even when the night gets cruel
I rise up strong for them, for you
I will keep living for my kids (for my kids)
I will keep living, I will live (I will live)
