Rising through pain

Title: Rising Through the Pain

(Verse 1)

I was born in the fire, raised in the storm

Fighting silent battles, trying to stay warm

The ones I called family, turned their backs on me

Spoke words like weapons, never let me breathe

Every dream I carried, they laughed it away

Told me I was nothing, I would never see the day

But I kept on walking, through the darkest night

Holding onto hope, praying for the light

(Chorus)

I survived the hatred, I survived the pain

Through the storms and heartbreak, through the pouring rain

They tried to break my spirit, tried to steal my flame

But I rose much stronger, I will never be the same

I survived the silence, I survived the lies

Wiped my tears in darkness, still I touched the skies

Family by blood, but love was hard to find

So I built my strength and left the hate behind

(Verse 2)

Every scar reminds me of the road I walked

Every lonely night when nobody would talk

I learned to trust my soul, I learned to stand alone

Turned my pain to power, made my heart a stone

They watched me from a distance, waiting for my fall

But I kept on climbing, standing proud and tall

Now the same voices whispering my name

See the broken child rising through the flames

(Chorus)

I survived the hatred, I survived the pain

Through the storms and heartbreak, through the pouring rain

They tried to break my spirit, tried to steal my flame

But I rose much stronger, I will never be the same

I survived the silence, I survived the lies

Wiped my tears in darkness, still I touched the skies

Family by blood, but love was hard to find

So I built my strength and left the hate behind

(Bridge)

I forgive, but I remember

Coldest July, darkest December

I found my peace, I found my way

No more chains, I won’t stay
