From Shadows to Shine

Dark nights, long fights, searching for the light

Growing up in shadows, trying to find what's right

Hey, I made it through, come hear my story, oh

From lost to found, now I stand tall and glow

Born in the middle, trying to bridge the divide

Mom and Dad gone different ways, in the storm I tried

Athletic on the outside, but inside I was torn,

Feeling like I wasn't enough, so I was prone to forlorn

Growing up biracial, caught between two worlds,

Struggling with identity, sometimes feeling like a thousand holes.

Thought I had to prove, thought I had to fight,

Caught up in the wrong places, chasing fleeting night

But deeper down, I knew I had to change,

Break the cycle, rearrange

Now I see the light shining bright in my soul,

Found my worth, yeah, I finally know

From the depths of despair to the strength I show,

God's grace rescued me, made me whole

Lost in the storm, tryna find my way,

Dragged me through darkness, fought to stay,

But finally I surrender, let the truth unfold,

In His love, I am consoled

Now I walk with purpose, heart renewed,

Every shadow behind me, every scar too

With Jesus by my side, I’ve finally found,

My value, my hope, my solid ground
