[Verse]
I was shakin’, heart was racin’,
Couldn’t catch a breath, couldn’t fake it.
Lights flashed red, sirens near,
Called for help ‘cause I was drowning in fear.
Felt the weight of all I’d pushed aside,
Every cracked smile, every late-night lie.
Tryin’ to hold the world in my hands,
But I’m just one man, and I understand…
[Chorus]
This was my wake-up call,
Not to break, but to stand tall.
To put myself back in my arms,
Start rebuildin’ where there’s harm.
I can’t save the world, not if I fall—
So here I am, hearin’ the call:
It’s time to breathe, time to heal,
Time to remember I’m human, I feel.
This was my wake-up call…
To fight for me.
[Verse]
I’ve carried weight that wasn’t mine,
Runnin’ on empty, actin’ fine.
But the cracks all show when you hit the ground,
And silence screams when no one’s around.
So here’s to small steps, here’s to grace,
Here’s to facing what I’ve gotta face.
It’s not weak to ask, not wrong to cry,
It’s human to fall and still want to try.
[Chorus]
This was my wake-up call,
Not to break, but to stand tall.
To put myself back in my arms,
Start rebuildin’ where there’s harm.
I can’t save the world, not if I fall—
So here I am, hearin’ the call:
It’s time to breathe, time to heal,
Time to remember I’m human, I feel.
This was my wake-up call…
To fight for me.
[Bridge – Gentle, Soft Spoken]
It’s okay to slow down.
It’s okay to not be okay.
But it’s not okay…
To forget you matter.
[Chorus – Soft, Then Rising]
This was my wake-up call,
Not to break, but to stand tall.
To put myself back in my arms,
Start rebuildin’ where there’s harm.
I can’t save the world, not if I fall—
So here I am, hearin’ the call:
It’s time to breathe, time to heal,
Time to remember I’m human, I feel.
This was my wake-up call…
To fight for me.
[Outro – Soft]
To fight…
For me.
