Forged In The Fire

I don’t know how this came to be
Years and years planting love in me
But it slipped away, it bled to the ground
I don’t know if I was the one who let it drown

After betrayal, a knife in my back
A part of my soul never came back
Something inside of me died that day
And silence was all that it had to say

Laughter from faces I never expected
Whispers and pity, thinly disguised
Left for dead, no light in the distance
Then God said: No
Your time hasn’t arrived

I was reborn from the fire and the pain
Like a phoenix rising through shame
I turned my wounds into fuel to survive
Unstoppable now, I refuse to die
Hear my voice as it tears through the sky
This scream is the proof I'm alive

They watched me fall with merciless eyes
Counting my steps, betting on my demise
No hope ahead, no bridge to cross
Just faith telling me this wasn’t a loss

Now I stand on the edge of becoming whole
Every scar carved deep in my soul
I believe this was all a test
A trial to forge me, nothing less

I can finally breathe again
I see a spark at the end of the night
But deep in my heart there’s a quiet desire
To turn my success into frozen revenge

I was reborn from the fire and the pain
Like a phoenix rising through shame
I turned my wounds into fuel to survive
Unstoppable now, I refuse to die
Hear my voice as it tears through the sky
This scream is the proof I'm alive

So look at me now
I waited too long for this moment
One day I’ll pull from your eyes
A spark of regret you can’t hide

Forged in the struggle
In blood and in flame
I kept walking through hell
And I'm not the same

I was forged in the fire, the hurt and the scars
I walked through hell just to know who we are
Every step through the flames made me strong
This pain was the place where I learned to belong

This passage broke me, then made me whole
I'm stronger now
And you’ll know
