Rising Through the Darkness

Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows of my past, I see your face
A memory that forever holds its place
I'm searching for a way to turn the pain around
And find my children, my heart and my renown

[VERSE 1]
She said it was yesterday I'd find my way back to this stage
But I'm lost in her words, tryna turn the page
Still got dreams in my pocket, though they're weighin' me down
Years ago, I was broke, pants saggin' to the ground
On Portland's cold streets, prayin' for a sign
Beggin' for a dollar, hopin' God would align
A helpin' hand, a spark to understand
At 23, I was searchin' for a plan
Who am I supposed to be in this life we live?
What did I do to lose the daughter I'd give
Everything for? She's my heart, my pride, my joy
My wife's shinin' star, our love's golden alloy

[CHORUS]
They took my world, my blood, my light
Ripped my heart out in the dead of night
But I'm risin' up, I'm fightin' through the pain
I'll find my kids, bring 'em home again
Hallie, Ben, y'all my reason to breathe
I'm comin' for you, no matter what they believe

[VERSE 2]
They stole my daughter, man, that's my flesh and soul
Took my wife's dreams, left a permanent hole
Why you lyin', Bill? Scared to face the truth?
You took my family, now I'm left with nothin' but the youth
Memories of laughter, tears, and all the pain
I'm tryin' to stay strong, but it's all in vain
I'm searching for a way to bring you back home
And make the ones who took you pay for what they've done

[CHORUS]
They took my world, my blood, my light
Ripped my heart out in the dead of night
But I'm risin' up, I'm fightin' through the pain
I'll find my kids, bring 'em home again
Hallie, Ben, y'all my reason to breathe
I'm comin' for you, no matter what they believe

[BRIDGE]
Maybe someday I'll find my way
Through the darkness and into a brand new day
Where love and hope
