Just Begun

"Storms in my way, but I'm standing tall,

Dreams feel heavy, but I won't let 'em fall,

Shadows are deep, but my heart's still bright,

Running through fire just to find my light..."

Every closed door, every slammed phone,

Every late night feeling so alone,

Friends disappeared when the road got steep,

Learned how to crawl before I found my feet,

Broke down crying in a one-room place,

Put my own hands on my broken faith.

Lift my head when the night gets cold,

Stand my ground when the fear takes hold,

Fighting for hope like it's made of gold...

I won't back down when the world gets rough,

Even on empty, I'll be enough,

Picking up pieces when they fall apart,

Building my dreams with a broken heart,

Nothing can steal what I’ve begun,

I’m not finished, I’ve just begun.

Laughed at the scars that I used to hide,

Wore all my losses like armor with pride,

Days I was drowning, I learned to swim,

Screaming out loud when my light got dim,

Never knew strength 'til I tasted pain,

Never knew joy without dancing in rain.

Lift my head when the night gets cold,

Stand my ground when the fear takes hold,

Fighting for hope like it's made of gold...

I won't back down when the world gets rough,

Even on empty, I'll be enough,

Picking up pieces when they fall apart,

Building my dreams with a broken heart,

Nothing can steal what I’ve begun,

I’m not finished, I’ve just begun.

Someday they'll ask how I made it through,

I'll say I believed when it wasn't true,

I'll say I fought when I couldn't stand,

Learned how to pray with trembling hands,

Wrote my name in the fire and rain,

Turned every loss into part of my name.

Walls come crashing, I won't fold,

Life swings hard, but I swing bold,

This is my fight, my story told...

I won't back down when the world gets rough,

Even on empty, I'll be enough,

Picking up pieces when they fall apart,

Building my dreams with a broken heart,

Nothing can steal what I’ve begun,

I’m not finished, I’ve just begun.

"Storms in my way, but I'm standing tall,

Dreams feel heavy, but I won't let 'em fall..."
