[Intro]
I keep a little room in my heart for your names
Every road I walk remembers where I came
[Verse 1 - Female]
Mother’s hands made a home from a narrow kitchen
Father’s old coat still hangs by the door
You taught me to stand when the world kept shifting
And find what I needed in wanting less more
[Pre-Chorus - Female]
If I rise, it’s because you believed
If I heal, it’s the care that you gave me
[Chorus - Female]
Thank you for the days you carried me through
For every quiet sacrifice, every truth
I’ll turn your love into something bright
Keep moving forward, make our tomorrow right
[Verse 2 - Male Rap]
I remember rice on the table, late train home
Small apartment, big dreams, one worn phone
Sis said, “Keep your head up,” when the checks ran thin
Grandma prayed before the morning could begin
Now I count blessings, not the things I lack
Put the fear in the past, never dragging it back
For the ones who gave me hope when I doubted my name
I’ll build with patience, let the effort explain
[Chorus - Female]
Thank you for the days you carried me through
For every quiet sacrifice, every truth
I’ll turn your love into something bright
Keep moving forward, make our tomorrow right
[Bridge - Female and Male Rap]
Female: When the road gets steep, I can hear you near
Male: Every lesson in my chest makes the next step clear
Female: I will hold your faith like a lantern in my hands
Male: No shortcut, no retreat, I’m becoming who I am
[Final Chorus - Female]
Thank you for the days you carried me through
For the open arms, for the strength you grew
I’ll turn your love into something bright
Keep moving forward, make our tomorrow right
[Outro - Male Rap]
For my family, my people, the ones who stayed true
Every win that comes around, I’m bringing it to you
