Lyrics

[INTRO]
Rainy days in Seattle, where my story began
A city grey, where hope was hard to plan
But I had a dream, to rise above the pain
And find my way, out of the rain

[VERSE 1]
Grew up in Seattle, where the rain never quits
Drugs were my shadow, took my soul bit by bit
Streets were my teacher, taught me how to survive
But I was just a kid, tryna keep hope alive

[CHORUS]
I'm searching for a light, in the dark of night
A guiding star, to lead me to the light
I've been through the fire, and I've been through the rain
But I'm still standing, I'm still here to remain

[VERSE 2]
Moved down to Fresno, thought I'd leave it behind
Got clean, got married, tried to ease my mind
But the hood was a warzone, danger never slept
Every night I prayed, for the promises I kept

[CHORUS]
I'm searching for a light, in the dark of night
A guiding star, to lead me to the light
I've been through the fire, and I've been through the rain
But I'm still standing, I'm still here to remain

[BRIDGE]
Then Portland called us next, where the land felt free
Thought we'd plant some roots, start a family tree
Had my kids, my babies, they were all I'd need
But CPS came knockin', tore my heart to bleed

[VERSE 3]
I was clean, I was sober, but they didn't care
Took my boy and girl, left my soul stripped bare
My wife, she broke, her heart couldn't mend
Lost her to the grief, now I'm facin' the end

[HOOK]
But I won't give up, no I won't give in
I'll rise up, and I'll start again
I'll find my way, through the pain and the shame
And I'll learn to love, and I'll learn to claim

[CHORUS]
I'm searching for a light, in the dark of night
A guiding star, to lead me to the light
I've been through the fire, and I've been through the rain
But I'm still standing, I'm still here to remain

[VERSE 4]
Through the rain and the pain, I'm still standin' tall
Lost my heart, lost my kids, but I ain't gonna fall
