Rise Among the Few

Verse 1: His eyes dry and red, burning from the smoke, The sweet pull of Mary Jane, a tear of regret spoke. A sigh, a deep breath, in the silence of the night, I mourn alone, whisper to the stars, seeking light. Pre-Chorus: Shadows fade as dawn breaks the sky, With every tear, another lesson goes by. Chorus: Oh, I bear a tainted past, a view once skewed, Yet I rise among the few, with strength renewed. Life once so bleak, on the edge of defeat, But now I stand tall, with every heartbeat. Verse 2: My heart pierced by light, as I grow old, Letting go of petty things, stories unfold. Fighting the current, releasing my bane, But the show must go on, finding peace in the rain. Pre-Chorus: Every battle fought, every scar earned, Through the fire, a brighter flame burned. Chorus: Oh, I bear a tainted past, a view once skewed, Yet I rise among the few, with strength renewed. Life once so bleak, on the edge of defeat, But now I stand tall, with every heartbeat. Bridge: Try to laugh once in a while, let a smile play, The smallest details can brighten your day. For the best inside, who won’t fade away, He’s here to stay, a part of me, come what may. Chorus: Oh, I bear a tainted past, a view once skewed, Yet I rise among the few, with strength renewed. Life once so bleak, on the edge of defeat, But now I stand tall, with every heartbeat. Outro: With every heartbeat, I stand tall, No longer afraid, I’ve conquered it all. From the shadows to the light, I’ve found my way, Here to stay, stronger every day.
