[Intro]
Standing at the edge of shadows, heart heavy but hopeful
Questions in my mind, truths that feel so hopeless
Looking in the mirror, trying to find my soul
Balancing the guilt and love, trying to stay whole
[Verse 1]
Fatherhood hit me like a storm out of nowhere
A new life, a new fight, a burden I swear
Wasn’t prepared for, yet here I stand, aware
Of the scars from past, they whisper in the air
Caught between what was and what could be
A silent cry from a child I never saw, yet I see
Reflecting in my eyes, a guilt that’s heavy
Could I be the man who walks away, unsteady?
But love is complex, it’s not black and white
It’s forgiving myself for the wrongs in the night
Not blaming her, just trying to make it right
Protection in my words, a vow to the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m torn between the past and what I gotta do
Facing fears I never thought I’d go through
Holding love for the fam that’s still true
Choosing strength over the doubt that grew
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be a ghost in my own bloodline
Lost in the silence, shadows of what’s mine
If there’s a child out there I never knew, I gotta find
Healing the wounds, breaking the confines
[Verse 2]
Questions in my mind, keep me wide awake
Did I turn my back, or was it heartbreak?
Can’t escape the weight, the possibilities
Of a life unknown, of silent responsibilities
Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination
Learning to live with this silent revelation
Every tear, every scar, a part of my story
Turning pain into power, reclaiming my glory
To the child I may never hold, I send my love
A prayer in the dark, crying to the heavens above
To be a man who protects, who provides, who cares
Breaking free from the shadows, shedding the layers of fears
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s about choosing love, embracing what’s real
Facing all the doubts, I’ve got to heal
Strength in my heart, hope I can feel
Building a legacy that’s genuine and sealed
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be a ghost in my own bloodline
Lost in the silence, shadows of what’s mine
If there’s a child out there I never knew, I gotta find
Healing the wounds, breaking the confines
[Bridge]
Time moves forward, but I stand grounded
Resolving to be the man unounded
No blame, just love unconfounded
Moving past the fear, now it’s resounded
In my soul, in my deed
Planting seeds of hope, sowing love’s creed
Whatever’s true, I’ll take the lead
Victim of the past, now I’m freed
[Outro]
Grounded in strength, refuse to react
Moving with purpose, no turning back
Redemption in my heart, I stay on track
For my family’s future, I got their back
