I’ve always felt lonely, all of my life
No safe harbor found, just inner strife
Not a single place, nor a person to claim
I lost all my faith, playing this game
When I thought the darkness would be my end
And that nothing good was left to spend...
(Pre-Chorus)
Deep in the abyss, in the coldest space
I gave birth to life, my saving grace
I climbed from the shadows, with strength anew
To raise up the ones that I love—that’s you.
(Chorus)
So I rose like a Phoenix, I vowed to rise high
Don't need anyone else, just to watch you fly
For you I would kill, for you I would die
If the world turns away, on me you rely.
And on the day I am gone, when I leave this sphere
The love that I leave will be double what was here.
(Verse 2)
The path wasn't easy, thorns led the way
But God sent my angels to brighten the day
I took knives in my back, I endured the pain
But nothing could silence the love that I claim.
Not hunger nor sickness could knock me down
I lived on the edge, but I held my ground.
"Do or die" was the choice, I stood tall and true
My only harvest is the joy inside you.
(Chorus)
So I rose like a Phoenix, I vowed to rise high
Don't need anyone else, just to watch you fly
For you I would kill, for you I would die
If the world turns away, on me you rely.
And on the day I am gone, when I leave this sphere
The love that I leave will be double what was here.
(Bridge - Intense and emotional)
Anne, Shezzy, and Kennan...
You are the light that sparked in the dark
The living proof that I made my mark.
My people, my blood, my rule, my decree
I gave you my all, so you could be free.
(Outro - Spoken Word - Soft voice)
This song I dedicate to my 3 kids
That came from the suffering times
Anne, Shezzy, and Kennan
Forever... Mom loves you.
