Burns Fred
There was a time I couldn't face the day Shadows in my mind wouldn't fade away Every mirror felt like an enemy Couldn't find the man I used to be I wore a smile just to hide the pain Fought silent battles in the pouring rain Nobody knew how close I'd come To giving up on who I'd become I spent years trying to outrun fear Looking for answers that never appeared Every step felt heavy as stone Even in a crowded room, I felt alone But the darkest nights don't last forever And broken hearts can pull together Now I'm standing with my head held high Looking at the storm I survived Every scar became a reason why I keep moving forward, reaching for the light If you're lost, if you're feeling low I've been down that road, I know You're not alone, don't let go I'm standing here to let you know There were mornings I could barely stand Couldn't recognize the man I am Every dream was buried underground Every hope felt too hard to be found Then I started taking one small step One more breath, one more sunset Little victories became my guide Slowly brought me back to life I learned healing doesn't happen fast Some days hurt, some days pass But every time I chose to fight I found another piece of light Cause pain can turn into a purpose And broken dreams can still be worth it Now I'm standing with my head held high Looking at the storm I survived Every scar became a reason why I keep moving forward, reaching for the light If you're lost, if you're feeling low I've been down that road, I know You're not alone, don't let go I'm standing here to let you know I won't pretend the road was easy There were nights that nearly beat me There were moments I couldn't see A future waiting there for me But every sunrise taught me this Hope still exists And every tear that hit the floor Made me stronger than before Now I speak about the things I hid The battles that I somehow lived No more shame and no disguise I tell my truth with open eyes If my story helps one person stay If it helps them make it through the day Then every wound I've ever known Becomes a bridge to bring them home So if you're listening tonight And you're tired of the fight Take my hand and hear me say There's another side to yesterday Now I'm standing with my head held high Looking at the storm I survived Every scar became a reason why I keep moving forward, reaching for the light If you're lost, if you're feeling low I've been down that road, I know Take my hand, don't walk alone We're stronger than we'll ever know Now I'm standing with my head held high No more running, no more hiding why Every scar became a reason why I keep moving forward, reaching for the light Head held high Eyes on tomorrow No more hiding from the pain Only strength from the sorrow And if my voice can help you rise If it helps you realize You're stronger than the fear inside Keep your head held high (Head held high...) (Head held high...) Keep your head held high...
