In the shadows, where the hurt would hide I found the strength to turn the tide Through the storms and the nights so long I found my way, and I’ve become strong I overcame the pain, I broke those chains From the darkest nights to the sunlit plains In the ashes, I rose, finding my own way I overcame the pain, and I'm here to stay Every tear that fell was a lesson learned Through the battles fought and the bridges burned In the silence of the night, I found my truth In the heart of the struggle, I rediscovered youth I overcame the pain, I broke those chains From the darkest nights to the sunlit plains In the ashes, I rose, finding my own way I overcame the pain, and I'm here to stay Now the scars tell a story, of a soul that survived In the strength of my spirit, I'm truly alive No more shadows, no more fears I’ve found my light through the countless tears I overcame the pain, I broke those chains From the darkest nights to the sunlit plains In the ashes, I rose, finding my own way I overcame the pain, and I'm here to stay So here’s to the journey and the battles won To the strength within that has just begun With every step, I know I'm free I overcame the pain, and it’s a part of me
