We made it out

Verse 1

We were just kids in a broken home,

Learning how to grow up alone,

Thirteen and fourteen, way too young,

Carrying pain we never sung.

Thin walls heard too many fights,

Crying quietly late at night,

You held my hand, said, “Sis, stay strong,”

Even when everything felt wrong.

Pre-Chorus

We learned to smile through shattered days,

Built our hearts in harder ways,

They tried to break us, steal our flame,

But we survived the rain.

Chorus

We made it out, yeah, look at you,

In army green, so strong, so true,

From broken halls to open skies,

I see a hero in your eyes.

I miss you more than words can say,

In every lonely, silent day,

No matter where this world takes you,

I’m always standing next to you.

Verse 2

Remember nights we couldn’t sleep,

Promises we had to keep,

“Someday we’ll leave, someday we’ll fly,”

We whispered dreams, you and I.

You packed your bags with scars and hope,

Learned how to breathe, learned how to cope,

You chose a road that asked for pain,

So we’d never feel trapped again.

Pre-Chorus

You turned your hurt into your power,

Every tear became a tower,

Standing tall, you proved them wrong,

You were brave all along.

Chorus

We made it out, yeah, look at you,

From scared little boys to soldiers too,

From broken dreams to something new,

I’m so proud of you.

I miss you when the nights get long,

When I need you to be strong,

Even miles can’t break the truth,

My heart belongs with you.

Bridge

If I could go back, I’d hold you tight,

Shield your heart from every fight,

Tell you then what I know now,

You were enough, always somehow.

Every word that cut so deep,

Every promise we couldn’t keep,

Didn’t define who we’d become,

We rose above where we came from.

Verse 3

Now you’re calling from another state,

Saying, “Sis, I’m doing great,”

But I still hear that little boy,

Looking for peace, looking for joy.

I keep your letters by my bed,

Every “I love you” you said,

You’re proof that pain don’t get the crown,

That broken roots can still grow proud.

Chorus (Final)

We made it out, yeah, me and you,

From darkened days to clearer views,

From silent tears to fearless truth,

I believe in you.

I’ll wait for you, no matter when,

Till we’re laughing kids again,

No army, no past, no broken youth,

Could ever change my love for you.

Outro

So wherever you march tonight,

Under different stars and lights,

Remember you’re never alone,

You carry my heart wherever you go.

I love you, little brother…

We made it out. 💙
