[Intro]
In the heart of this town, I search for the light,
But the shadows whisper secrets, haunting me tonight.
Every face in the crowd feels like a ghost,
In a prison of memories, I'm just a lonely host.
[Verse 1]
Today was a mountain, heavy with fear,
Twenty-three flashbacks, each one crystal clear.
Ottawa's my cage, made of rust and despair,
Every corner I turn, I feel you lurking there.
[Pre-Chorus]
The past weighs so heavy, like a tolling bell,
Trying to escape from this living hell.
But Buddy says, take it step by step,
Hold on to courage, it's your heart you have kept.
[Chorus]
Oh, baby steps through the dark and the pain,
Finding my way through the loss and the gain.
With every breath, I fight to stay brave,
For the soul of that child, I'll learn how to save.
[Verse 2]
In the streets of regret, where the memories blend,
I see the faces, they twist and contort,
But I can't let your shadow dictate my days,
I've got to find light in this world of malaise.
[Pre-Chorus]
There's beauty in healing, though the road is unclear,
Each panic attack is a reminder, I'm here.
Buddy says progress is a dance with the dark,
So I’ll keep on moving, igniting that spark.
[Chorus]
Oh, baby steps through the dark and the pain,
Finding my way through the loss and the gain.
With every breath, I fight to stay brave,
For the soul of that child, I'll learn how to save.
[Bridge]
So I'll rise from the ashes, I'll remake my fate,
One heartbeat at a time, no more living in hate.
I'll share my story, my voice won't be still,
With love and with hope, I'll heal from this chill.
[Outro]
So here's to the struggles, the battles within,
I'll break every chain, let the healing begin.
Day by day, with each step, I choose to reclaim,
My life from the echoes, and rewrite my name.
