While the world around me's falling
I just stand and hold my ground
Digging through the fading moments
For a reason to be found
Flipping through the words I buried
That I thought I'd left behind
Looking for another exit
Just to try and ease my mind

I walk along the shoreline
Of a beach that never ends
Past unfinished songs and echoes
That forget who I have been
I stumble over memories
Some still cut me deep inside
But they whisper who I was
And the truths I used to hide

Now I see my own reflection
In the footprints that remain
Hear my voice in quiet silence
Even when I speak no name
I'm no longer scared of lonely
I don't run from who I am
'Cause I've found the strength within me
To come back and start again

I've walked through that old maze
That once held me in my fear
Every wall I used to dodge
Just to keep from getting near
Now the past is shining clearer
Even pain I used to flee
All the answers that I needed
They were always part of me

I got lost a thousand times
But still found my way back home
Wearing every scar with pride
No more hiding where I've grown
Every fall and every fracture
Taught me how to breathe and rise
Now I face the road ahead
With no need to compromise

Now I see my own reflection
In the dreams I left behind
Recognize the road I'm walking
Even when there's no clear sign
I don't chase the pain or shadows
That I used to fear before
Found my silence, and it sings now–
Like a song forever more

Even when the world is quiet
And the night is caving in
I keep walking, I keep breathing
And I let the light begin
Even if the sky is falling
I'll be standing here again
