[Intro]
In the quiet, echoes linger,
Memories dance like shadows,
But I’m ready to find my way,
Step by step, day by day.
[Verse 1]
They say recovery's a journey,
Every heartbeat, a new turn,
Sitting in this empty car,
Removing all the remnants of my scars.
Faded photographs, so bittersweet,
Lessons learned at every beat,
Your ghost lingers where she used to sit,
But I’m breaking free from the shackles of it.
[Pre-Chorus]
Close this chapter, open the door,
A brighter wave is crashing ashore,
Will I forget the pain I’ve known?
No, it’s the seed of strength I’ve grown.
[Chorus]
I’m leaving Kansas behind,
Locking away Pandora’s box,
With every step, I reclaim my mind,
Gonna heal from the wounds, despite the knocks.
Determined to rise, like the dawn of a new day,
Survivor in the light, I’m finding my way.
[Bridge]
With my high school sweetheart by my side,
Together we’ll cast the shadows aside,
Into the community, I’ll step and stand,
Telling my story, reclaiming the land.
[Verse 2]
Yes, the scars are part of my foundation,
With love and hope, my new salvation,
Every fear, I’ll face and right,
From victim to warrior, I’ll shine so bright.
[Pre-Chorus]
The journey’s long, but I’m not afraid,
With every word, another debt is paid,
I’ll stand before a crowd and share my fight,
Lighting the path for others in the night.
[Chorus]
I’m leaving Kansas behind,
Locking away Pandora’s box,
With every step, I reclaim my mind,
Gonna heal from the wounds, despite the knocks.
Determined to rise, like the dawn of a new day,
Survivor in the light, I’m finding my way.
[Outro]
So here’s to the journey, to the battles won,
Through the darkness, I’ll shine as one,
With faith in my heart, I’ll carry this song,
From a victim to survivor, where we all belong.
