Betrayed

**Verse 1** I gave my heart, I gave my soul, to this place I called my own, I worked the nights, I spent the days, raising funds in countless ways. For the cause, for the need, I stood tall, I took the lead, But now I'm standing in the rain, wondering where it all went wrong. **Chorus** Oh, the trust we build, the dreams we share, They vanished in the silent air. Accused and bruised, no proof to see, They turned their backs and silenced me. Oh, the love I gave, the time I lost, Betrayed by those I cherished most. **Verse 2** They say I broke a sacred code, but never told me what I owed, In the shadows, whispers grew, casting doubts I never knew. When I asked, when I plead, for the truth, for the need, They turned away, denied my plea, left me in this misery. **Chorus** Oh, the trust we build, the dreams we share, They vanished in the silent air. Accused and bruised, no proof to see, They turned their backs and silenced me. Oh, the love I gave, the time I lost, Betrayed by those I cherished most. **Bridge** I stood for something greater, fought for every cause, Now I’m left here wondering, was it worth the loss? Promises they made, now lie shattered on the ground, In the silence of their judgement, I won’t make a sound. **Verse 3** So here I stand, in the rain, with my heart, with my pain, But I know, deep inside, I will rise, I will fight. For the truth, for the right, I'll shine through the darkest night, They may have broken me today, but tomorrow’s a brand new day. **Chorus** Oh, the trust we build, the dreams we share, They vanished in the silent air. Accused and bruised, no proof to see, They turned their backs and silenced me. Oh, the love I gave, the time I lost, Betrayed by those I cherished most. **Outro** But I'll rise, oh I'll rise, with the dawn of a new sunrise, And the love I gave, it will pave, a brighter path, a stronger way. For in my heart, I know it’s true, the best of me will shine through, And those who wronged, they’ll see the day, when truth and justice have their say.
