[Verse 1]
Three shadows in my house, older than me by years
I stand so small, too small to be a shield
They trample on my dreams with feet that show no mercy
Whispers hang in the wind, "I wish you were dead" — a crime so real
And silently my blood falls to the ground
A conscience screams, "You made a mistake," deepening the darkness all around
[Chorus]
But in the corners of shadow, a seed refuses to die
It grows despite the frost, heavy burdens in the sky
I don’t know the how or when, but in my heart I feel a fight
Something cries, "You are not wreckage," holding fast into the night
A small promise from above, that the sun will come one day
That light will rise beyond the dark, chasing all the pain away
[Verse 2]
I carry my mother like a heavy load, though I’m still just a child
Her eyes say "You are responsible," and my fragile heart runs wild
Threatened to wilt before it even blooms
Searching my own worth but finding broken rooms
Every small success seems like a mirage afar
Every attempt met with, "What good are you?" — a lingering scar
[Chorus]
But in the corners of shadow, a seed refuses to die
It grows despite the frost, heavy burdens in the sky
I don’t know the how or when, but in my heart I feel a fight
Something cries, "You are not wreckage," holding fast into the night
A small promise from above, that the sun will come one day
That light will rise beyond the dark, chasing all the pain away
[Bridge]
I long for two friends, like broken wings lost in the rain
I remember laughter, but tears fall like the pain
I cannot call to them, dignity costs too much to pay
And all I have is this pierced heart that yearns to say
In silent prostration, I pray behind these walls and sorrow
"God return us as we were," but silence says tomorrow
[Verse 3]
School is a prison of eyes blind to the loneliness within
A phone the forbidden dream, connections framed as sin
And I wish for a small room where I can be alone with my Lord
Where I can cry, scream, plead without the fear of eyes ignored
But even this dream has turned to fragile fantasy
As the walls of my house close in tighter on me
[Final Chorus]
Yet still, I am trying! Yes, I am trying!
In the corners of shadow, my seed refuses, refuses to die!
It grows despite the frost, despite the weight of life’s demands
I don’t know how, but in my heart there’s a seed that stands
It screams, "You are not wreckage," in the depths of the dark
A divine promise holding strong, that the sun will rise and spark
That light will break the shadow, a dawn from all the night
From the depths of darkness, light is born — shining bright!
