Standing Through the Storm

[Intro]
Shadows falling, heavy in my mind
Whispers of pain, trying to unwind
But something keeps me here, some unspoken tie
Though I want to fall, I still reach for the sky

[Verse 1]
Been knocked down, battered by storms
Carrying scars, from battles warned
Thoughts of darkness, shadow my days
But a flicker of hope, still finds its ways

[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise, every tear I hide
Doesn't tell the strength I’ve kept inside
Surviving every word, every silent scream
Fighting through the nightmare, chasing my dream

[Chorus]
I wanna give up, let the world slip away
But something’s unbreakable, refusing to sway
Life hits hard, tries to break my will
But I stand tall, I’m climbing still

[Bridge]
Memories haunt, shadows collide
But I find a spark deep inside
Survived my fears, faced the worst
From the ashes, I will burst

[Outro]
No, I won’t surrender, won’t fade to gray
Holding on tighter, come what may
Though the pain cuts deep, I’m here to stay
One day, I’ll find my way

Intimate, emotional ballad with raw vocals, acoustic guitar and subtle piano layers.
