Fighting for Tommorow
Verse]
In the shadows of the city lights,
I wear the weight of another sleepless night,
Bills piled high like mountains now,
And empty promises, I take a bow.
You left us stranded, no one to blame,
But I’ll light the fire, ignite the flame.
My son’s an inventor, only eight years old, bold,
His sister draws dreams in colors untold.
[Chorus]
So we rise, we’ll fight,
Out of darkness, into the light.
With candles burning, and hearts that shine,
We’ll rewrite our story, it’ll take some time.
Though you turned your back, we’re standing tall,
Together we’re stronger, we’ll never fall.
[Verse]
Days filled with smoke, escape from the grind,
In the haze of the night, I leave pain behind.
Crafting dreams with hands calloused and worn,
A tiny empire built from love reborn.
You thought you could break us, but you just pushed me free,
Now we’re thriving in colors, wild and carefree.
[Chorus]
So we rise, we’ll fight,
Out of darkness, into the light.
With candles burning, and hearts that shine,
We’ll rewrite our story, it’ll take some time.
Though you turned your back, we’re standing tall,
Together we’re stronger, we’ll never fall.
[Bridge]
Laughing at your memory, with my best friend by my side,
You thought I’d drown in sorrow, but I learned how to ride.
Every tear became a lesson, every bruise a badge of pride,
We’ll write our own fate—no fear left inside.
[Chorus]
So we rise, we’ll fight,
Out of darkness, into the light.
With candles burning, and hearts that shine,
We’ll rewrite our story, it’ll take some time.
Though you turned your back, we’re standing tall,
Together we’re stronger, we’ll never fall.
