Verse 1 – You
I learned too early how to survive
How to read anger in someone’s eyes
How to grow up before I was grown
How to bleed quietly on my own
I carried trauma in my bones
Learned how to smile through broken homes
I fought my way just to feel safe
Built my heart on cracked foundations and faith
Every time something good felt near
Life reminded me why I should fear
Like hope was something I wasn’t allowed
Like joy had a habit of being too loud
Pre-Chorus – You
I didn’t ask for easy
I just asked for something good
Verse 2 – Jordan
I was young and lost and full of pain
Trying to numb everything I couldn’t say
High school halls and bad decisions
Looking for peace in the wrong prescriptions
I fought addiction just to stay alive
Just to make it to the other side
Pulled myself out of the dark
One hard choice, one shaky start
I survived who I used to be
So I could become the man I swore I’d be
But some nights it still weighs on my chest
Like I’m always bracing for what comes next
Pre-Chorus – Jordan
I didn’t need perfect
I just needed real
Chorus – Together
We are survivors, every scar tells the truth
We didn’t make it here untouched
All we wanted was something good
Something that finally stayed
But every time we get close to light
It feels like it’s ripped away
How much can a heart endure
Before hope starts to bruise?
We don’t want everything
We just want something good to make it through
Verse 3 – Shared
Then she came into our lives
Soft and perfect, our reason to try
Evalina—our miracle, our proof
That pain didn’t get the final move
She was going to be the reason
We believed again
The future we were holding
With trembling hands
She was the promise whispered low
The maybe this time we both allowed
And losing her broke us in ways
We didn’t know how to say out loud
Pre-Chorus – Shared
We were almost there
God, we were almost there
Chorus – Together
We are survivors, but we’re tired now
This road’s been cruel and long
Every step took everything
Just to keep holding on
Evalina was our sunrise
After endless night
She was the hope we built our lives on
The good we finally touched
Why does it feel like the moment we believe
Is the moment it’s taken from us?
Bridge – You & Jordan
We don’t understand the timing
We don’t understand the pain
But please don’t ask us to pretend
That this didn’t change everything
We’re still standing
But we’re worn thin
And surviving shouldn’t always mean
Losing something to win
If You see us, God
If You know our names
Please let goodness be louder
Than everything that came before the pain
**Final Chorus – choir
We are survivors, yes, we’re strong
But strength shouldn’t hurt like this
We’ve paid our dues, we’ve bled enough
We just want something good to exist
Evalina was and still is
The light we carry forward now….
