[Intro]
Soft light on the window, I breathe in slow
Letting go of the weight I’ve carried all along
[Verse 1]
I map my scars like a garden in rain
Tending each memory, I learn to name the pain
If I whisper enough, it won't shout in the night
I’m choosing small steps toward a gentler light
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my breath, count to dawn, start again
Piece by piece, I rebuild from within
[Chorus]
I rise with the dawn, I’m not giving in
Healing is not a line, it’s a thread I’m putting in
With every breath I mend a little more
Pain teaches me how to love me as I am, who I’m for
[Verse 2]
Some days the road is rough, the sky opaque
But I keep a promise to the parts that ache
Friends and courage lift me when I fall
I’m learning grace for every bruise and call
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in, breathe out, I’m finding my pace
I’m learning mercy for my imperfect grace
[Chorus]
I rise with the dawn, I’m not giving in
Healing is not a line, it’s a thread I’m putting in
With every breath I mend a little more
Pain teaches me how to love me as I am, who I’m for
[Bridge]
If the night returns, I’ll light a smaller flame
Not to erase the pain, but to honor my name
Step by step, the heart learns to forgive
To live with what remains and still choose to live
[Chorus]
I rise with the dawn, I’m not giving in
Healing is not a line, it’s a thread I’m putting in
With every breath I mend a little more
Pain teaches me how to love me as I am, who I’m for
[Outro]
Soft light lingers, I’m growing steady and true
Overcoming pain, I’m choosing me anew
