**Verse 1:**
Growing up on the island, life was tough to see,
In a Samoan household, where love's not always free.
Had to be the strong one, never showed my tears,
Hiding all my pain, fighting through the fears.
**Pre-Chorus:**
Shy kid in the corner, now I'm finding my voice,
Dreaming of a future, trying to make a choice.
Parents don't see, the struggles inside,
Generations deep, we can't let this slide.
**Chorus:**
Break the cycle, let the healing start,
For the new generation, let’s open our hearts.
Depression hits hard, but I'll rise above,
Praying to God, to show me His love.
**Verse 2:**
Waking up each morning, feeling so alone,
Carrying the weight, that’s all I’ve ever known.
They say it’s tradition, just a way of life,
But we need to change, end this silent strife.
**Pre-Chorus:**
Shy kid in the corner, now I'm finding my voice,
Dreaming of a future, trying to make a choice.
Parents don't see, the struggles inside,
Generations deep, we can't let this slide.
**Chorus:**
Break the cycle, let the healing start,
For the new generation, let’s open our hearts.
Depression hits hard, but I'll rise above,
Praying to God, to show me His love.
**Bridge:**
I see the pain in my brother’s eyes,
Sisters silent cries, echo through the skies.
Parents, remember, the hurt you once knew,
It's time for change, for something true.
**Verse 3:**
Life’s been a battle, but I’m standing tall,
For every Samoan kid, I’m giving it my all.
No more hiding, no more pain inside,
Together we’ll rise, with hope as our guide.
**Chorus:**
Break the cycle, let the healing start,
For the new generation, let’s open our hearts.
Depression hits hard, but I'll rise above,
Praying to God, to show me His love.
**Outro:**
Break the cycle, we’re stronger than before,
For every island boy, we’ll open new doors.
With love and courage, we'll make it through,
A brighter future, for me and you.
