Wish I could go back, just to hold you near Look in your eyes and say: You are strong, don't fear Your life will change, I promise it's true You carried the world, but hope carried you You walked the road, though you lost your way In the storm of a home with no light, no safe place They made you believe you should never pray The man of your dreams had to fade away Too fragile, too wrong, they said with cold eyes Be a man, shut it down, hide what's inside But it was the truth, the soul that I am Alive, pure, and tender, just a child back then The light was there, but no one believed Light in that boy? He will only bleed Now in the mirror I see what remains The spirit's burden and the child who took the pain Thank you for holding on, though you felt so small For keeping the fire burning through it all Thank you for holding on Today I promise, your future stands tall And those people? Their karma paid it all Thank you for holding on The family you built, the love you adore Now it's your true home Thank you for holding on My purpose now is clear, my voice is strong To break the chains that carried pain too long That child was not weak, between dark and light Now I am the shelter where once was only night They told you dreaming was a foolish lie That to pray was a waste, to feel was to die But still you kept faith, though judged and denied And that's why I live why I'm still alive Thanks to the child who learned to rise Thank you for holding on, though you felt so small For keeping the fire burning through it all Thank you for holding on Today I promise, your future stands tall And those people? Their karma paid it all Thank you for holding on The family you built, the love you adore Now it's your true home Thank you for holding on Thank you for holding on Resisting when no one could see Thank you for holding on For keeping your heart alive inside of me Now I am your reflection, whole and free Thank you for holding on And the child I was can finally breathe The child I was Can finally breathe
