Felt the pain and the hurt, the tears and the fights
Growing up was tough, my life was a test
Had to fight for survival, had to do my best
I've seen the worst of times, the lowest of lows
Had to rise up from the ashes, like a phoenix that glows
I've been knocked down, beaten, but I won't give in
I'll keep getting back up, till I win
Life's been a war, a battle I can't escape
But I won't surrender, I'll keep fighting, I won't break
I'll keep pushing forward, through the struggles and strife
I'll make a better life, I'll make it right
I won't let my past define me, I won't let it hold me down
I'll rise above the pain, I'll wear my crown
I'll make a way out of no way, I'll find a light in the dark
I'll make my life a masterpiece, a work of art.
I was walking through a night that never ended
Shadows whispering every doubt I ever knew
Every step felt like I was descending
Into a place where hope just couldn’t break through
I wore pain like armor on my chest
Built my walls so high no light got in
Every scar was proof I tried my best
But I was losing every fight within
Then a spark lit up the black
A quiet voice said, “You can come back”
I’m rising out of the dark, out of the deep
Breaking the chains that were holding me
I found a light I thought I’d never see
Now it’s alive inside of me
Through every scar, every shattered part
I learned that healing leaves a mark
And love was there from the very start
Waiting for me out of the dark
I met a soul that saw right through me
Didn’t flinch at the mess I tried to hide
They said, “You don’t have to prove a thing to me
Just let me stand here by your side”
For the first time I let my guard fall down
Let somebody hear my truth out loud
And in their eyes I finally found
A version of me I could be proud
No more running, no more fear
I can finally breathe in here
I’m rising out of the dark, out of the deep
Breaking the chains that were holding me
I found a light I thought I’d never see
Now it’s alive inside of me
Through every scar, every shattered part
I learned that healing leaves a mark
And love was there from the very start
Waiting for me out of the dark
Every night I thought would break me
Every tear that fell like rain
Built the strength it took to save me
Turned my loss into my gain
Now the silence doesn scare me
And the past don’t own my name
I’m not who I was, I’m who I became
I’m rising out of the dark, I’m finally free
Becoming everything I’m meant to be
I found a love that set my heart at ease
Now it’s the air I breathe
Through every fall, I played my part
To find the courage in my heart
And now I’m standing in the light I sparked
No longer lost… I found my heart
Outro
Yeah, I walked through hell and made it back
Now I’m living proof… you can outlast the dark.
