Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was drowning in a sea of shame
Chasing highs that all felt the same
Every promise I ever made
Was broken fast, then washed away

[Verse 2]
Every night was a losing fight
Every dawn just erased the night
The silence echoed, sharp and deep
I begged for peace, I prayed for sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
I chased the dark, I fed the flame
I wore my guilt like a second name
But somewhere quiet, a whisper stayed
“You can rise, you’re not too late”

[Chorus]
Just for today, I’ll stand and breathe
The chains are broken, I’ve been released
The road is heavy, but I won’t stray
I’ll walk the light, just for today

[Verse 3]
I lost the people I called my own
Burned the bridges, was left alone
My father’s face, my mother’s tears
A haunted past through wasted years

[Verse 4]
The bottles whispered, the powder lied
They stole my soul and bled me dry
I cursed my name, I cursed my skin
Until I found the strength within

[Pre-Chorus]
The night was long, but dawn still came
Through the ashes I found my name
No more running, no more chains
I found the will to break the pain

[Chorus]
Just for today, I’ll stand and breathe
The chains are broken, I’ve been released
The road is heavy, but I won’t stray
I’ll walk the light, just for today

[Bridge]
I hear the morning, the sparrows sing
A broken man can rise again
No poison calling, no demon’s hand
Just solid ground where now I stand

[Verse 5]
The nights still tempt, the shadows creep
But I’m awake, I won’t fall asleep
I’ve paid the cost, I’ve faced the flame
And I will never be the same

[Final Chorus]
Just for today, I’ll stand and breathe
The chains are broken, I’ve been released
The road is heavy, but I will stay
I’ll live my life, just for today

[Outro]
Tomorrow may come with a brand-new fight
But tonight I’m safe in the morning light
Through every shadow, through every flame
I rise again, I’m not the same
