Lyrics
[Soft piano melody, building in intensity]
[Verse 1]:
In the halls of my youth under elementary skies,
Shy but growing, life was a surprise.
Laughter mixed with tears, a bittersweet blend,
Lost my grandmother, a chapter came to an end.
[Pre-Chorus]:
But the pages kept turning, each day I stood,
Facing the unknown as bravely as I could.
[Chorus]:
From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive,
Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive.
With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs,
I've weathered the storms, under changing skies.
[Verse 2]:
Middle school brought a storm, life rearranged,
Lost my childhood home, everything changed.
Gave away my cats, felt the deep sting of fate,
Lost more than I knew, the burden grew great.
[Pre-Chorus]:
In the silence of my room, the world seemed so vast,
Yet I found my strength, in shadows cast.
[Chorus]:
From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive,
Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive.
With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs,
I've weathered the storms, under changing skies.
[Verse 3]:
Apartments burned down, our lives turned to ash,
Had to move, our dreams nearly dashed.
A guardian angel, maybe my grandmother's grace,
Guided us through to a safer place.
We found a new home, amidst the chaos and strife,
Began once more, tried to rebuild our life.
[Bridge]:
High school halls whispered tales of pain,
Grades soared high but friends remained scarce.
Internal battles, hidden tears in the rain,
Yet I stood undeterred, through the unseen wars.
[Verse 4]:
College days, a relentless climb,
Battled sickness, nearly surrendered my time.
Yet from the depths, rose a spirit so fierce,
Graduated with honors, my resolve pierced.
[Chorus]:
From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive,
Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive.
With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs,
I've weathered the storms, under changing skies.
[Verse 4]:
After college life’s script took a turn,
Found love, embraced a future I yearn.
A child’s laughter now fills my days,
Through struggles I find, hopeful ways.
[Outro with Instrumental crescendo with full orchestra and choir]
Still the journey goes on, with dreams anew,
In the quiet strength, I found in the few.
With love and loss, through the pain and the cheer,
I stand with hope, as each new stage draws near.
[Fades to quiet]
