Brighter Than My Shadows

I wasn’t the saint they said I should be,

I was lost in the dark, fighting demons in me.

But somehow you grew from the cracks in my flaws,

Proof that the broken can still give it all.

---

I’m not a hero, but I swear it’s true,

Every scar on my soul still led me to you.

---

And I couldn’t be happier, watching you shine,

You turned all my chaos to something divine.

I’m sorry for the nights I slipped through the cracks,

But you carried the strength I thought I lacked.

And I’ll cheer for you louder than I ever have before,

You’re brighter than my shadows — my forever, my core.

---

Take his hand, build your fire,

Burn through the world, climb even higher.

And just know, no matter where you roam,

You’ll always be my little girl, my home.

---

And I couldn’t be happier, watching you shine,

You turned all my chaos to something divine.

I’m sorry for the nights I slipped through the cracks,

But you carried the strength I thought I lacked.

And I’ll cheer for you louder than I ever have before,

You’re brighter than my shadows — my forever, my core.

---

Yeah, you’re brighter than my shadows…

Forever my daughter, wherever you go.
