Shadows to Light

[guitar intro, reverb] [Verse 1, intro] Born into shadows, never saw the light, Family bound by troubles, darkness every night. Challenges and struggles, a life he couldn't choose, Bright mind burdened by sorrow, a soul destined to lose. [Chorus] If he could see through my eyes, he'd know he's strong, The brightest stars sometimes feel they don't belong. In his darkest hours, he's his own greatest foe, But deep inside, there's a strength he doesn't know. [short break] [Verse 2] Every step he takes, feels like a wrong turn, Dreams of what could have been, a heart that yearns. Seeking solace in distractions, to ease the mind, But peace is so elusive, it's so hard to find. [Chorus] If he could see through my eyes, he'd know he's strong, The brightest stars sometimes feel they don't belong. In his darkest hours, he's his own greatest foe, But deep inside, there's a strength he doesn't know. [short break] [Verse 3] Tomorrow feels uncertain, lost in his despair, Paralyzed by fear, does anyone truly care? Yet there's a spark within, if only he believed, In himself, like I do, his pain could be relieved. [short break] [Chorus] If he could see through my eyes, he'd know he's strong, The brightest stars sometimes feel they don't belong. In his darkest hours, he's his own greatest foe, But deep inside, there's a strength he doesn't know. [instrumental bridge] [Bridge] He's not alone in this fight, though it feels so, In the depths of darkness, light can still glow. [soft reverb] Believe in yourself, the way I believe in you, And maybe one day, you'll see the truth too. [grand finale] [Chorus] If he could see through my eyes, he'd know he's strong, The brightest stars sometimes feel they don't belong. In his darkest hours, he's his own greatest foe, But deep inside, there's a strength he doesn't know. [Chorus] If he could see through my eyes, he'd know he's strong, The brightest stars sometimes feel they don't belong. In his darkest hours, he's his own greatest foe, But deep inside, there's a strength he doesn't know. [slow down] [Outro] [spoken word, a cappella] He's not alone in this fight, though it feels so, In the depths of darkness, light can still glow. Believe in yourself, the way I believe in you, And maybe one day, you'll see the truth too. {end}
