[Verse 1 Intimate, acoustic-driven]
I see the weight sitting on your chest,
Like every voice told you you’re less than the rest.
The world gets loud, tries to pull you down,
But there’s a quiet truth that’s all around.
You’ve been holding every breath too long,
Trying to be who they said was strong.
But there’s a light inside your doubt —
And it’s breaking out.
[Pre-Chorus 1 Lift building]
Every scar you hide, every night you fought,
You’re still standing — that means a lot.
They’ll try to bend you, wear you thin,
But there’s a strength they can’t get in.
[Chorus 1 Melodic, uplifting]
So hold on through the hurt and flame,
Say your name — say your name.
Even if your voice might shake,
Every scar shows the steps you take.
Every fall just taught you how,
To rise up stronger than right now.
You’re not lost — you’re breaking through,
Stronger than they ever knew.
[Post-Chorus Drop-ready, chantable]
Oh-oh, hold on
Oh-oh, stay strong
Oh-oh, hold on
You’re stronger (all along)
[Verse 2 (Conversational, supportive]
You’ve walked roads that cut too deep,
Loved some things that couldn’t keep.
Every silence, every door that closed,
Made you stronger than you’ve ever known.
When the nights feel cold and long,
Remember how far you’ve come along.
[Pre-Chorus 2 Gentle lift]
They’ll tell you who you’re meant to be,
But you don’t owe them your identity.
Every doubt is fading now —
You’re stronger than they know how.
[Chorus 2 Bigger, festival-ready]
So hold on through the hurt and flame,
Say your name — don’t be afraid.
Every scar is proof you’ve made it through,
Every fall just carried you.
You’re not lost — you’re finding out,
What you’re capable of now.
You’re stronger than they ever knew.
[Bridge Breakdown, almost spoken]
You’re not what broke you,
You’re not your worst days.
You’re every breath you’ve kept
When you almost walked away.
[Riser builds]
[Final Chorus (Biggest lift]
So hold on through the hurt and flame,
Say your name — even if it shakes.
Every scar is proof you made it through,
Every fall just taught you what to do.
You’re not lost — you’re rising now,
Stronger than you think somehow.
[Outro Acoustic fade]
Hold on…
Stay strong…
Right here…
This is where it starts.
