Shadows and sunshine

(Verse 1)

Sunrise paints the window pane, another day begins

But shadows linger in my heart, where yesterday still spins

A web of worries, doubts, and fears, a tangled, heavy chain

I try to break free from its hold, to rise above the pain

(Chorus)

Oh, the hardships of this life, they come and go like tides

Sometimes crashing over me, leaving nowhere to hide

But I will keep on swimming, keep my head above the waves

And trust that strength will rise in me, until a brighter day saves

(Verse 2)

I see the faces of the ones who struggle just like me

We're all just searching for a light, a glimmer we can see

To guide us through the darkest nights, when hope begins to fade

We share our stories, lend a hand, a promise to be brave

(Chorus)

Oh, the hardships of this life, they come and go like tides

Sometimes crashing over me, leaving nowhere to hide

But I will keep on swimming, keep my head above the waves

And trust that strength will rise in me, until a brighter day saves

(Bridge)

Though scars may mark the journey, they tell a tale of might

Of battles fought and lessons learned, emerging into light

(Chorus)

Oh, the hardships of this life, they come and go like tides

Sometimes crashing over me, leaving nowhere to hide

But I will keep on swimming, keep my head above the waves

And trust that strength will rise in me, until a brighter day saves

(Outro)

So let the hardships come, let them test my will to fight

I'll face them with a steady gaze, and step into the light.
