[Intro]
From sheltered halls to the open sky,
Found my strength, I gotta try.
This is my story, my fight, my truth,
Rising from ashes, reclaiming my youth.
[Verse 1]
Born behind closed doors, safe in a bubble,
Living in shadows, feeling so subtle.
At eighteen, my world turned around,
A miracle arrived, my girl Alexis found.
[Pre-Chorus]
Followed by twins, Hadley and Hazel,
Life was perfect, heart so gentle.
But pain crept in, a loss so deep,
Mom's passing made my soul weep.
[Chorus]
Now I’m stronger, I’m alive,
Breaking free and I will thrive.
From darkness into light I stride,
Glowing, shining, a badass bride.
[Verse 2]
Met someone who led me astray,
Fell into shadows, lost my way.
Heroin, fentanyl, and meth,
Drowning in a storm I couldn’t deft.
Homeless nights, wandering alone,
Fighting demons I’d never known.
[Pre-Chorus]
Overdose on her anniversary,
A wake-up call, I saw the key.
Rehab’s door, I walked on through,
Cleaning scars and starting anew.
[Chorus]
Now I’m stronger, I’m alive,
Breaking free and I will thrive.
From darkness into light I stride,
Glowing, shining, a badass bride.
[Bridge]
Mental battles, anxiety’s grip,
Depression’s shadow’s on my ship.
But I’m fighting, I won’t quit,
Rebuilding pieces, bit by bit.
Strong and fierce, I claim my way,
A queen reborn, I’m here to stay.
[Outro]
Sheltered no more, I found my voice,
Made my choice, I made my noise.
Living, loving, fading fears,
Standing tall after all these years.
