Beneath the smile that gleams so bright
In the silence
You stare at night
Harsh words echo with a clout
Then your sorrow
Comes gushing out
Tears fall heavy, mask the pain
A thunderstorm, no sight of rain
Reflections crack, a hidden shout
In the mirror
Truth spills out
[Chorus]
But you stand tall, against the tide
Can't hold back, this swelling pride
Life's battles fought from the inside
Shattered illusions start to fade
In the wreckage
Strength is made
Brace against life's twist and shout
Now the air's filled with a change, a shift
No more adrift, your spirit's a gift
Bruises fade into stories brave
In the echo, you're no one's slave
[Verse]
Build your fortress with stones unthrown
In your essence, you've always known
You lift your eyes and raise your voice
Letting heartbeats drum your choice
Foundations strong from every scar
In the struggle. You've come so far
[Pre-Chorus]
With every tear that stained your cheek
You've built a will that won't grow weak
Now the future's bright, ain't no looking back
With each crack in your heart a new light seems to spark
Gray clouds part 'cause you've learned how to dance
In your own storm, you've crafted your stance
[Chorus]
Rise like the sun, fierce and new day born
Can't be undone, this fabric now torn
Silver linings traced in the sky (traced in the sky)
Fading doubts, watch them fly (they just fly)
In the end, the past will die
As the future unfolds with a sigh
[Chorus]
You'll shine on, undeterred and free
Carve your path where no one's tread before
