Lyrics

Verse 1

I walked the world like a shadow of a man,

Fists full of anger, no purpose, no plan.

Chasing ghosts in the dark just to feel alive,

Breaking everything I touched just to prove I could survive.

I was a storm with no meaning, a flame burning thin—

Didn’t know I was dying from the inside in.

Verse 2

Then the silence cracked open when I heard your cry,

A tiny heartbeat louder than the noise in my mind.

In that moment I shattered, fell straight to my knees—

Watched the boy I was crumble in a collapse meant for me.

The ego I carried died quiet and fast—

A funeral for a life that was never meant to last.

Chorus

But I was born again when you were born,

Pulled from the wreckage of the man before.

You held a mirror I’d been too blind to see—

Showed me the world, and the world showed me me.

Yeah, you lit a fire where the darkness had sworn

I’d never rise—

But I was born again when you were born.

Verse 3

I learned strength ain’t rage and power ain’t fear,

Found courage in your smile every time you drew near.

The weight of my past couldn’t pull me below—

Your little hands became the anchor to help me grow.

I finally saw what mattered, what was real and true—

Every breath I take feels bigger because it’s shared with you.

Verse 4

Now I’m walking with purpose, not running from pain,

The storms in my chest turning into gentle rain.

You taught me love’s not weakness, it’s the strongest kind—

A light that hits deeper than anything in my mind.

You didn’t just save me—you rewrote my whole fate,

Turned a broken man into something great.

Chorus

Yeah, I was born again when you were born,

Pulled from the ashes of the man before.

You held a mirror I’d been too blind to see—

Showed me the world, and the world showed me me.

You lit a fire where the darkness had sworn

That I’d stay lost—

But I was born again when you were born.

Bridge (heavy → soaring)

I died that day—and thank God I did,

Made room for the father beneath the kid.

Now every heartbeat’s a promise I’ll keep:

To stand tall for you

’til the day I sleep.

Final Chorus (uplifting, massive, victorious)

I was born again when you were born,

Rose like a sunrise through the cracks of the storm.

You gave me meaning where there once was none,

Turned a wandering soul into a steady one.

Yeah, you’re the reason I’ll always carry on—

My heart beats stronger…

’Cause I was born again when you were born.
