[Verse 1]
You said, "I'm tired"
I heard, "I'm trying"
Every scar on your skin
is a story of surviving
White coats, long halls
numbers on a screen
But you still crack jokes
in the hardest weeks
You walk slow, still proud
IV pole like a flag
Every step that you take
pulls us all out the drag
You keep asking, "Why me?"
but I see who you are
You were built for the storm
you were born for the scar
[Chorus]
You are stronger than this pain, I swear
When you're running out of breath
I’ll share my air
When the dark comes close
hold my hand in the night
If your knees hit the ground
I will help you rise
You are bigger than the fear you feel
Every tear that you cry
is a wound that heals
When the road gets rough
and you’re losing sight
Lean on me
we will hold the line (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Early morning checks
late-night calls
I hear courage in your voice
even shaking through it all
You say, "One more day"
I say, "We take ten"
'Cause every sunrise seen
is a quiet win
You’re the heart of this home
you’re our first, last light
When you fight for your life
you teach us how to fight
So rest when you need
I’ll be watch, I’ll be guard
You just breathe, you just be
I’ll do the heavy part (uh)
[Chorus]
You are stronger than this pain, I swear
When you're running out of breath
I’ll share my air
When the dark comes close
hold my hand in the night
If your knees hit the ground
I will help you rise
You are bigger than the fear you feel
Every tear that you cry
is a wound that heals
When the road gets rough
and you’re losing sight
Lean on me
we will hold the line (hold the line)
[Bridge]
If your hope runs low
take mine, take mine (yeah)
If your faith feels broke
I’ll believe for the both of us tonight
You are not your charts
you are not this room
You are laughter, love, and light
fighting through the gloom (come on)
[Chorus]
You are stronger than this pain, I swear
When you're running out of breath
I’ll share my air
When the dark comes close
hold my hand in the night
If your knees hit the ground
I will help you rise
You are bigger than the fear you feel
Every tear that you cry
is a wound that heals
When the road gets rough
and you’re losing sight
Lean on me
we will hold the line (yeah, we’ll hold the line)
