[Verse 1]
My eyes were closed but now they’re open wide
Looking out the window, seeing worlds divide
Reality subsides as imagination takes its stride
Into the unknown, putting everything aside
I’ve been around for many years, many battles, many tears
No longer bound by the sheers, I’ve got nothing to fear
I see into souls, their fates become clear
Knowing the future while remembering the years
The story of how the world began, and disappears
[Bridge 1]
I’m fighting every time I step outside
My comfort fades, but I won’t hide
The pace I’m moving through life is a secret that would fright
But I keep walking forward into every single night
[Chorus 1]
Brave is not the word, I made it through the storm
I stepped away from fear and embraced how I was born
I’ve seen the past, I’ve watched the future fall and form
Through the wars, I’ve survived what the world has in store
[Verse 2] (new)
Shadows try to whisper, but I rise above
The weight of broken dreams can’t silence love
Every scar I carry is a crown I’ve earned
From the ashes of the fire, I have returned
The night may tremble, but I hold the flame
The echoes of my story will remember my name
Through the chaos and the pain, I still remain
Unbroken, unafraid, I’ll never be the same
[Bridge 2] (new)
I’ve fallen, but I’ve learned how to fly
Even when the darkness tries to hide the sky
The rhythm of my heartbeat is my battle cry
And I’ll keep on standing, I’ll never say goodbye
[Chorus 2] (new/final chorus – more powerful)
Stronger than the storm, I’m brighter than the rain
I’ve turned my deepest losses into beauty from the pain
I’ve seen beginnings, watched the endings fade away
But I’m still here, unshaken, standing tall today
