Leaving Darkness Behind

[Intro] Oh, I'm feeling so alive Far away from all the pain inside Where I can finally spread my wings and fly Leaving all those memories behind [Verse 1] Once upon a time, I was lost and broken Tangled in a web of words unspoken But now I've found my strength, I've found my way No longer held back by those who led me astray [Chorus] I'm dancing in the light, leaving darkness behind Oh, the joy of living, leaving my past behind Now I'm surrounded by true friends, so kind No longer in their shadows, I've come to find [Verse] I've shed the weight of their toxic hold Now I'm free, my spirit no longer sold A fresh start, a brand new day Embracing life in a whole new way [Chorus] I'm dancing in the light, leaving darkness behind Oh, the joy of living, leaving my past behind Now I'm surrounded by true friends, so kind No longer in their shadows, I've come to find [Chorus] I'm dancing in the light, leaving darkness behind Oh, the joy of living, leaving my past behind Now I'm surrounded by true friends, so kind No longer in their shadows, I've come to find [Bridge] And though I've moved on, a part of me remains For the lessons learned, I'll never be the same But I won't let the pain define my story I'll rise above, basking in all the glory [Outro] So here I stand, stronger than ever before With a heart full of love, ready to soar Leaving behind the hurt, embracing the new Living my life, shining bright and true [acoustic guitar fade]
