[Intro]
In the kitchen's glow, I find my fight
Cooking stories, battles in the night
Every slice, a fight for my soul
Seeking strength, trying to make me whole
[Verse 1]
September's call, everybody asks me
To turn the heat up, set the flavors free
My pain's heavy, but I still create
In each dish, I find my escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Leaping flames, I control the fire
In every stir, I rise higher
Lost in flavors, I reclaim my name
Through this heat, I play my game
[Chorus]
Fire up the stove, let the cooking begin
Cooking strength back, feeling free from within
Steak and fried potatoes, my healing art
Hiding no more, I’m mending my heart
[Verse 2]
Little leprechaun, John, or red-skinned delight
Fried potatoes, your love fuels my fight
Saints tender, like my fragile state
Every dish I serve, I heal my fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Knife turns into my tool of hope
Slice away the pain, learn to cope
In the kitchen, I find my voice
Reclaim my power, make my choice
[Chorus]
Fire up the stove, let the cooking begin
Cooking strength back, feeling free from within
Steak and fried potatoes, my healing art
Hiding no more, I’m mending my heart
[Bridge]
Every meal a victory, every flavor a song
Cooking through the trauma, where I belong
The heat pounds, but I stand tall
In this kitchen, I break the fall
[Outro]
So I cook again, with passion and grace
Fighting through shadows I can't erase
Three-star chef, I’ll proudly be
In every dish, I find me
"Fire, Flavor, Freedom"
