Endurance

Life’s a fire it flickers it roars

Knocking down all our hollow doors

Scratched-up armor we’ll still wear proud

Storms may shout we’re still not cowed

Every scar’s a map we trace like light

In the darkest hours of the night

Breathing through battles we never chose

Growing gardens where nothing grows

Endure the echoes endure the cries

Hold the ground beneath your skies

Even when the pulse feels faint and thin

The rhythm of life still pulls us in

Mountains crumble rivers still glide

Pain can linger but hope won’t hide

Wounds will fade but wisdom seeds

Roots of strength from battered creeds

So here we stand arms full of weight

Holding tomorrows that hesitate

But we endure like the timeless tide

Crashing forward never to hide

Endure the echoes endure the cries

Hold the ground beneath your skies

Even when the pulse feels faint and thin

The rhythm of life still pulls us in
