Lyrics

From Shadows to Light

Grew up in the dark, where the cold winds blew,
Mom’s pain heavy, I could feel it too.
Dad checked out, I was left to fight,
Every day was a war just to see the light.
Trauma on my back, like a bag I’d drag,
Dreams crushed early, like a broken flag.
Life didn’t care, it just passed me by,
So I held it in, never let me cry.

But I’m still standin’, scars don’t fade,
Fought through the fire, through the mess I made.
Step by step, I’mma claim my place,
Buildin’ a life, tryin’ to find my space.

Addictions grabbed me, yeah, I fell deep,
Tryin’ to escape, I couldn’t find sleep.
Every hit, every sip, every damn escape,
Just painted my future in darker shapes.
But I broke those chains, yeah, I’m done with that,
Left the bottle, the smoke, and the devil’s trap.
Now I’m pushin’, grindin’, every day’s a climb,
Still got doubts, but I’m takin’ my time.

Mirror shows a fighter, but I’m bruised and torn,
Carryin’ the weight from the day I was born.
But hope’s my compass, I’m breakin’ through,
What I lost back then, I’mma build brand new.

Still got dreams that I hold inside,
Still got love that I’ve yet to find.
From shadows to light, I’mma pave my way,
No matter how hard, I’m here to stay.
