Pride in my Soul

Raised in the shadows, you still stood tall

A hero in darkness, I remember it all

Through storms and silence, you wouldn’t fall

My father, my fortress… my reason through it all

⸻

From a boy to a man, you showed me the way

Guided my steps, night into day

Before I spoke, you knew my name

Before I walked, you felt my pain

Every lesson you gave, both quiet and loud

Taught me to stand, to carry your pride

In every step, in all I became

I carry your blood, I carry your name

⸻

In every scar, there’s a story you hid

In every sacrifice, love always lived

You bore the weight so I could rise

Now I see strength through your eyes

⸻

You’ll always be my hero in the dark

The fire in the brightest spark

The reason I stand, the reason I’m whole

No distance, no time could tear us apart

You didn’t just guide me—you’ll always live in my heart

⸻

Woke in a nightmare I couldn’t escape

A war I didn’t choose, but I couldn’t break

Through blood and fire, through fear and pain

I walked your path again and again

They tried to break me, to watch me fall

But I heard your voice through it all

Every step when I lost my way

Was you in me… telling me stay

I don’t feel the same, I know I’ve changed

Something inside me rearranged

But I’d become anything, face any end

Just to make you proud of me in the end

⸻

Every battle you fought for me

Built the man I’m meant to be

Through the dark, I finally see

Your strength still lives inside of me

⸻

You’ll always be my hero in the dark

The fire in the brightest spark

The reason I stand, the reason I’m whole

No distance, no time could tear us apart

You didn’t just guide me—you’ll always live in my heart

⸻

If you hear me… I’m still there

In every step, in every breath of air

You’re stronger than the world will ever see

You were always more than me

And when I stand in the dark alone

I realize I was never on my own

Your voice, your strength, your steady flame

Still calls me forward in your name

⸻

You’ll always be my hero in the dark

The fire in the brightest spark

Through every scar, through every start

Even if I lost my way, you were guiding me

You don’t just love me—you are my heart

⸻

So in my fight, your strength remains

A bond unbroken through all the pain

Father and son—more than blood, more than name

You live in my veins forever the same

And no mater how far I go… you’ll always be my hero in my heart

“I love you old man… never forget that”
