My Life Story

(Verse 1)
My name is Godwin… yeah, that’s my name,
Born into a life where nothing feels the same,
Woke up every morning before the sun could rise,
Helping mama sell kenkey with sleep in my eyes.

I was just a boy, but I carried heavy pain,
Sick in my body, walking through the rain,
Fell down hard, got broken, couldn’t stand tall,
There were days I felt like I was nothing at all.

(Pre-Chorus)
In the dark, I was crying where nobody could see,
Talking to God like, “Is there more for me?”

(Chorus)
I’ve been down… I’ve been hurt… I’ve been left in the cold,
Carrying stories that were never told,
But I kept walking through the tears and pain,
Hoping one day I would smile again.

If you feel lost and your world feels gone,
Just hold on… please hold on,
‘Cause even broken hearts can still be strong,
And your pain won’t last for long.

(Verse 2)
School was hard, I was always behind,
Looking at my life like “Will I ever shine?”
But I found something deep inside my soul,
Art and design gave me back control.

They laughed at me, said I wouldn’t go far,
But I kept learning, chasing who I are,
Late nights, no guide, just faith in my chest,
Turning every failure into my best.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every scar, every pain made me who I am,
Even when life didn’t go as planned…

(Chorus)
I’ve been down… I’ve been hurt… I’ve been left in the cold,
Carrying stories that were never told,
But I kept walking through the tears and pain,
Hoping one day I would smile again.

If you feel lost and your world feels gone,
Just hold on… please hold on,
‘Cause even broken hearts can still be strong,
And your pain won’t last for long.

(Verse 3)
Worked with my father, then I moved on,
Printing press life but the pay was wrong,
Used and tired, but I still stayed strong,
Learning every day, trying to belong.

Then God sent a man, yeah his name was clear,
Mr. Daniel came and changed my year,
He taught me travel, opened up my mind,
Showed me a path I was meant to find.

(Bridge)
Now I see why I went through the pain,
Why I stood in the cold, in the pouring rain,
Every moment was shaping me,
Into the man I’m meant to be.

(Final Chorus)
I’ve been down… but I’m rising again,
Turned all my losses into strength within,
Now I’m standing with a story to tell,
From a broken place where I once fell.

If you’re hurting, just look at me,
You can fight through your reality,
From nothing to something, I found my way,
And I’m still rising… every day.

(Outro)
Godwin … yeah I’m still here,
Through the pain, through the doubt, through the fear…
And this is my story… my story…
I made it through the storm.
