Shadows of the Past

[Verse] I've been walking down this rocky road Carrying burdens from a heavy load Life's been tough, but I carry on Through the darkness, I will find the dawn [Verse 2] Home was never a place, just an empty shell Growing up, no stories for me to tell But I keep moving, keep fighting every day Finding strength in the shadows that won't fade [Chorus] In these streets, where the pain runs deep I'll rise up, from the ashes of defeat Through the tears, I'll find my way at last I won't let my past define my path [Bridge] Though the storms may rage and the winds may blow I'll stand tall, I won't let go With every step, I'm closer to the light I'll keep pushing through, with all my might [Verse 3] Memories haunt me, like ghosts in the night But I won't be bound by fear or fright I'll face my demons, I'll break free And rewrite the story that was meant to be [Chorus] In these streets, where the pain runs deep I'll rise up, from the ashes of defeat Through the tears, I'll find my way at last I won't let my past define my path [Outro] So I'll keep walking, down this rocky road With each step forward, my strength grows I'll embrace the journey, wherever it may lead For I am the architect of my destiny. [Chorus] In these streets, where the pain runs deep I'll rise up, from the ashes of defeat Through the tears, I'll find my way at last I won't let my past define my path [Outro] So I'll keep walking, down this rocky road With each step forward, my strength grows I'll embrace the journey, wherever it may lead For I am the architect of my destiny.
