Title: Rising Through the Pain
(Verse 1)
I was born in the fire, raised in the storm
Fighting silent battles, trying to stay warm
The ones I called family, turned their backs on me
Spoke words like weapons, never let me breathe
Every dream I carried, they laughed it away
Told me I was nothing, I would never see the day
But I kept on walking, through the darkest night
Holding onto hope, praying for the light
(Chorus)
I survived the hatred, I survived the pain
Through the storms and heartbreak, through the pouring rain
They tried to break my spirit, tried to steal my flame
But I rose much stronger, I will never be the same
I survived the silence, I survived the lies
Wiped my tears in darkness, still I touched the skies
Family by blood, but love was hard to find
So I built my strength and left the hate behind
(Verse 2)
Every scar reminds me of the road I walked
Every lonely night when nobody would talk
I learned to trust my soul, I learned to stand alone
Turned my pain to power, made my heart a stone
They watched me from a distance, waiting for my fall
But I kept on climbing, standing proud and tall
Now the same voices whispering my name
See the broken child rising through the flames
(Chorus)
I survived the hatred, I survived the pain
Through the storms and heartbreak, through the pouring rain
They tried to break my spirit, tried to steal my flame
But I rose much stronger, I will never be the same
I survived the silence, I survived the lies
Wiped my tears in darkness, still I touched the skies
Family by blood, but love was hard to find
So I built my strength and left the hate behind
(Bridge)
I forgive, but I remember
Coldest July, darkest December
I found my peace, I found my way
No more chains, I won’t stay
