[Pre-Chorus]
It don’t matter where you came from,
It’s the fact you made it here,
Every stumble, every breakdown,
Built the man up in the mirror.

[Chorus]
If you can list it, and you lived it,
And it never took you down,
You got somethin’ in common
With every hero in the crowd.
All the weight you thought would crush you,
Only taught you how to fight—
Every chapter full of darkness
Led you to this light.
Yeah, what tried to break you
Only made you true,
And the story of a hero
Sounds a whole lot like you.

[Verse 2]
Every closed door you’ve been knockin’,
Every prayer you thought fell short,
Every storm that came and wrecked you
Only pushed you to the shore.
You got bruises as reminders,
But they ain’t your endin’ lines,
You’ve been torn and pushed to breaking,
But they’ll never knock you down!

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a crown or spotlight,
You don’t need a famous name,
If you’re still here and you’re breathin’,
That’s enough to stake your claim.

[Bridge]
Every scar’s a medal,
Every tear’s a song,
Every time you thought you’d lose it,
You were only standin’ strong.

[Final Chorus]
If you can list it, and you lived it,
And it never took you down,
You got somethin’ in common
With every hero in the crowd.
All the weight you thought would crush you,
Only taught you how to fight—
Every chapter full of darkness
Led you to this light.
Yeah, what tried to break you
Only pulled you through…
The story of a hero
Is the story inside you.

[Outro]
Yeah, what tried to break you,
Only made you true.

[Verse 1] If you laid out every scar, Every fight that cut you deep, Every night you thought was lost, But somehow you found your feet. From the heartbreaks to the downfall, The nights that dragged you down, You took every hit they gave you, But you’re the one still standin’ proud. [Pre-Chorus] It don’t matter where you came from, It’s the fact you made it here, Every stumble, every breakdown, Built the man up in the mirror.
