[Verse 1]
Lost my hope, buried in the sands of time
Faith in the wind, scattered, can’t find mine
Confidence cracked, like a mirror in the fall
I’m climbing up the mountain, but the peak feels small
Echoes in my head, they don’t play fair
Tugging at my spirit, leaving me bare
Where do I go when the road disappears?
Drowning in the silence, fighting through the tears
[Chorus]
How do I stay strong, when the light’s gone?
How do I move on, when the fight’s long?
Lost my way, but I’m still walking
Lost my voice, but my soul’s talking
[Verse 2]
Hope’s a ghost, haunting my shadow steps
Faith’s a shipwreck, I ain’t seen the deck
Confidence hiding, in a game of chess
King me, but the board’s a mess
Dreams in the rearview, closer than they appear
Reality’s a beast, feeding on my fear
Told myself I’m done, but I’m back in the ring
Broken wings still flap, I can’t help but sing
[Prechorus]
Every fall, I rise, even cracked and torn
Phoenix in my chest, from the ash reborn
[Verse 3]
The ground beneath my feet is just a waving floor
I'm charting open waters, but I can't find the shore
The critics in my mind got a megaphone choir
Trying to turn my spark back into a funeral pyre
I'm tearing down the posters of the person they made
Stepping out of shadows that the silence had laid
I'm not waiting for a miracle to save my soul
I’m the one on the mission, I’m taking control
[Chorus]
How do I stay strong, when the light’s gone?
How do I move on, when the fight’s long?
Lost my way, but I’m still walking
Lost my voice, but my soul’s talking
[Bridge - Rap]
Yeah, the struggle’s real but I’m steppin’ through the haze
Trap beats bumpin’, heart pumpin’, in this maze
Demons tryna cage me, but I’m breakin’ all the chains
R&B flows with that hip-hop pain
I’m grindin’ every night, chasing dreams in the dark
Every scar’s a story, every beat’s a spark
From the lows to the highs, this journey’s mine to own
From broken to bold, in this zone, I’ve grown
[Chorus]
How do I stay strong, when the light’s gone?
How do I move on, when the fight’s long?
Lost my way, but I’m still walking
Lost my voice, but my soul’s talking
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m still walking, still talking
Through the silence, my soul’s rocking
Gaining ground, I’m never stopping
From the ashes, my fire’s popping
