[Intro]
From the ashes of war, I was born to stand tall
Echoes of explosions, shadows on my wall
Battles in my childhood, scars that won't fade
Strength from the struggle, lessons engraved
[Verse 1]
1994, when chaos reigned supreme
Croatia's heart, shattered and torn at the seam
Bombs falling like rain, two endless weeks
Living on the edge, no room for the weak
Gunfire in the night, cannon’s deadly roar
Fighting to survive, to open that door
Memory of the chaos, etched in my mind
But I found my strength, left fear behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Through fire and fury, I learned to be free
From the ruins I rose, became what I see
Pride in my heart, resilience in my soul
War tried to break me, but I gained control
[Chorus]
This is my story, born in the midst of the fight
Stand strong, stand proud, I own my light
From broken to brave, built on tears and pain
I carry my past in every vein
Love my family, respect for all
Forever standing, never gonna fall
Hard as steel, heart full of fire
Born in war, shining higher
[Verse 2]
Memories of the skies, lit by fires
Fighting for my land, for my desires
Two weeks of chaos, a world turned upside down
But I found my voice, refused to drown
Every shot, every blast, shaped who I am
A warrior, with a future in my hands
Raised in struggle, forged in the pain
From the ashes, I will rise again
[Bridge]
They tried to break me, tried to bend my will
But I stand unbroken, unshaken still
The pain, the fear, turned into my power
Counting my blessings in that darkest hour
Family by my side, love that’s real
That’s the strength, that’s the steel
[Outro]
Born in war, but I am free
A testament of resilience, my destiny
Strong, proud, forever I stand
This is my story, this is my land
