Verse 1
Nine months old, didn’t know why
Two babies crying in the middle of the night
Strangers’ arms, a different place
Searching for a familiar face
Me and my twin, side by side
Too young to know, but we felt the tide
Life was changing, we couldn’t see
What it would shape us to be
Verse 2
Two years old, a brand new name
A front porch light and a family came
Little hands learning trust again
Two small hearts starting to mend
Didn’t know the road we’d face
Didn’t know the time we’d waste
Missing someone we barely knew
But somehow still felt the truth
Chorus
We came from a broken start
But we built these beating hearts
Through the hurt and through the pain
We learned how to stand in the rain
Yeah, the past tried to pull us down
But we found our way somehow
From lost and scared to standing tall
We didn’t let it break us at all
Verse 3
Five years old, the news came in
A quiet house, a heavy wind
They said she’s gone, couldn’t stay
Lost her life in a different way
Didn’t understand it then
Why goodbye came so soon again
But somewhere deep inside of me
I held onto her memory
Bridge
Time kept moving, we grew strong
Held each other all along
Every scar, every tear
Made it clearer why we’re here
Verse 4
Sixteen years, we beat the odds
Walking proud through those schoolyard halls
Caps in the air, side by side
Tears we didn’t try to hide
Seventeen, I found my place
Helping smiles, giving grace
Dental chair and steady hands
Building life the best I can
Final Chorus
We came from a broken start
But we built these beating hearts
Through the hurt and through the pain
We learned how to stand in the rain
Yeah, the past don’t own us now
We’re stronger than we knew how
From two lost souls to who we are
We turned every wound into a scar
Outro
Nine months old, we lost our way
But look at where we stand today
Yeah, me and my twin—we made it through
And every step… we carried you
