Rising from my ashes to burn brighter

Verse]
In the shadows of a life torn apart,
He turned his back, shattered this heart.
Left us drowning in his reckless storm,
While I gathered pieces, all bruised and worn.

[Verse]
Chains of the past, they won’t hold me down,
With every tear, I’m reclaiming my crown.
My son glows bright, a tech wizard at play,
While my little girl paints our dreams far away.

[Chorus]
We rise, we soar from the ashes of pain,
Bound by love, we’ll dance in the rain.
Your regret is a ghost fading fast,
I’m the fortress, now, built to last.

[Verse]
He chased the stars while we battled the night,
In the silence of darkness, we found our own light.
The laughter of children, they banished the gloom,
Now my heart beats brightly in this tiny room.

[Chorus]
We rise, we soar from the ashes of pain,
Bound by love, we’ll dance in the rain.
Your regret is a ghost fading fast,
I’m the fortress, now, built to last.

[Bridge]
Fingers of fate tried to tear us apart,
But my kids are the beats to this warrior's heart.
Brick by brick, we built our dream,
In the softest of nights, hear their laughter’s gleam.

[Chorus]
We rise, we soar from the ashes of pain,
Bound by love, we’ll dance in the rain.
Your regret is a ghost fading fast,
I’m the fortress, now, built to last.

[Outro]
So keep your regret, I’ve woven my thread,
In this tapestry of life, love’s never dead.
Together we rise, mother and kin,
In our small business, let our journey begin.
