words unspoken

I've been walking through the shadows Chasing dreams I left behind The weight of silence pulls me down But I know I'll rise in time Every step is a battle, every breath a flame I'm learning who I am through the fire and the pain I need to grow, to overcome To find the strength to face the sun So many words are left unspoken But I'll break free from all that's broken This is my time, my heart will soar I'll be silent nevermore The echoes of the past still haunt me But they can't define my way I'm building bridges out of ashes And finding light in every day Every scar tells a story, every tear's a sign That even in the darkness, I can shine I need to grow, to overcome To find the strength to face the sun So many words are left unspoken But I'll break free from all that's broken This is my time, my heart will soar I'll be silent nevermore The walls I built are crumbling down The chains I wore are on the ground I'll speak my truth; I'll find my way My new chapter starts today I need to grow, to overcome To find the strength to face the sun So many words are left unspoken But I'll break free from all that's broken This is my moment, I'm breaking through No more silence, I'll speak my truth You're my anchor, my guiding light Giving me strength to win this fight All I am, all I'll ever be Owes its existence to you and me Your love lifts me beyond the stars Together we've come so very far
