Life of a king

Verse 1

I was the baby in a house so full,

Five big brothers, five sisters too.

Everybody had a place to stand,

But somehow I never fit into the plan.

I smiled in pictures, played my part,

While carrying questions inside my heart.

I always felt like I didn’t belong,

Like I was singing a different song.

Then high school came and the truth broke free,

They said, “You were adopted,” looking at me.

The room got quiet, the world turned gray,

And a piece of who I was slipped away.

Pre-Chorus

I started asking, “Who am I?”

Looking for answers in the midnight sky.

Trying to find a place called home,

But every road just left me alone.

Chorus

I’ve been searching my whole life

For someone who won’t say goodbye.

Someone who’ll stay when the skies turn rough,

My own little diamond in the rough.

‘Cause every time I gave my heart,

It came back covered in scars.

Three times I thought I’d found forever,

Three times love couldn’t hold together.

Now I’m standing in the rain,

Trying to smile through all this pain.

Still praying there’s somebody enough…

My diamond in the rough.

Verse 2

Heartbreak became a familiar friend,

Promises always found an end.

Every “I love you” faded away,

Leaving another empty space.

Depression whispers late at night,

Telling me maybe it’s time to stop the fight.

Those dark thoughts knock on my door,

Asking what I’m living for.

But somewhere deep beneath the pain,

There’s a tiny spark that still remains.

A voice that says, “Don’t let go yet,

Your story ain’t finished—I ain’t done with you yet.”

Bridge

If I leave today, who’ll know my name?

Would they finally notice all my pain?

Or would I just become another memory,

A picture hanging on the family tree?

So I wipe my tears and face another dawn,

Even when every bit of hope feels gone.

Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine,

Maybe one day somebody will call me “mine.”

Final Chorus

I’ve been searching my whole life

For someone who’ll stand by my side.

Not for a season, not for a while,

But through every tear and every mile.

Three broken loves couldn’t change my heart,

Even though they tore it apart.

I’ll keep believing through the dark,

Protecting what’s left of this fragile heart.

Maybe somewhere this cruel world’s enough,

To hide one last diamond in the rough.

Until that day I’ll keep holding on,

Praying my lonely road won’t be this long.

Outro

If you ever hear this song,

Know I’ve been trying to stay strong.

I may be bruised, I may be torn,

But hope is the reason I’m still holding on.

‘Cause maybe my story wasn’t written to end in the dark…

Maybe my home…

Maybe my love…

Maybe my diamond in the rough…

Is still looking for me too.
