In the Face of Darkness

I'm not defeated, won't let darkness take control I'm striving to find peace, to heal my wounded soul Though each day feels like a battle I refuse to let it rattle (Rattle) Why should I even doubt? Why should I let despair shout? In the verses of my life, I'll fight Through the pain and strife, I'll ignite Searching for a new direction With every ounce of my conviction I won't succumb to the devil's temptation I'll forge ahead with determination Won't let my family down, won't lead them astray Showing them strength in every way Trying to clear my mind Though the path seems undefined Not wasting any more time Chasing dreams that are mine I'll keep running, I'll outrun my fears Confronting demons, wiping away my tears Finding my way out of the shadows, now I'll keep running, won't let darkness bring me down I'm not defeated, won't let despair be my guide I'm seeking solace, in myself I'll confide Though each day feels like a trial I'll emerge with a victorious smile (Victorious smile) One too many doubts surround me But I'll mend my broken heart, set my spirit free Time's ticking, pressure's rising, but I'll rise Even when it feels like the end is nigh I'll rise above the chaos, find my grace Refusing to be confined to a hopeless place No more sinking into bed with dread I'll rise from the ashes, light the fire instead, yeah! Trying to clear my mind Though the path seems undefined Not wasting any more time Chasing dreams that are mine I'll keep running, I'll outrun my fears Confronting demons, wiping away my tears Finding my way out of the shadows, now I'll keep running, won't let darkness bring me down With every step, I'll find my strength anew No longer trapped, I'll break through I won't surrender to the night I'll rise, embrace the light
