MY HERO, MY PARENTS NEW BREED R&B — VOLUME 3, TRACK 6 [Intro — Female Lead] Sometimes I look up at the sky, Ask the Lord why the years fly by. Mum, Dad, there's so much left to say, I miss your love in a thousand ways. The road gets dark, but I won't run, My story ain't over, my fight ain't done. [Verse 1 — Female Lead] My hero, my parents, my roots, my ground, Your love still speaks when there's no sound. I carry your lessons deep in my chest, When life gets heavy, I remember the best. I miss your voices, the words you said, The prayers you whispered beside my bed. I can't bring yesterday back again, But your love runs deep through joy and pain. [Male Rap — Sharp and Gritty] I've had days when my head got loud, Felt lost in the streets, lost in the crowd. Smiled on the outside, fought wars within, Trying to find where my life begins. No fake tough talk, no mask to wear, Some nights you break when nobody's there. But pain ain't the boss, fear ain't the king, I've still got a voice, I've still got a dream. I face that mirror, no place to hide, Got to meet my truth before I find my stride. [Pre-Chorus — Female Lead] When I can't see the road ahead, I hold on to the words you've said. The Lord knows plans I cannot see, I'll keep the faith and work on me. [Chorus — Both] MY HERO! MY PARENTS! Your love still lives inside my soul! Through the fire, through the darkness, You gave my broken heart its gold! (Female) When the night feels never-ending, (Male) Keep on pushing, keep ascending! (Female) When I don't know where to start, (Both) Faith and courage guard my heart! The Lord is the best of planners, Even when I don't understand. I'll keep walking through the darkness, Till the light shows where I stand! [Instrumental Break — Heavy Live Bass and One-Drop Drums] [Verse 2 — Female Lead] I've cried those tears I never showed, Carried my weight down a lonely road. Being strong doesn't mean you never feel, Healing takes time, but time can heal. I want to make you proud somehow, Not just tomorrow, but starting now. I'm done with running from my reflection, Done confusing fear with direction. [Male Rap — Fast and Punchy] Step up! Stand tall! You're still on time! Your life ain't finished, your future can shine! Cut through the noise, let the truth come through, Nobody can live this life for you. Take one step, then another one, The longest dark still meets the sun. I miss my people, I feel that ache, Some nights I'm strong, some nights I break. Faith ain't waiting for skies to clear, It's moving forward while the clouds are here! [Chorus — Both, Bigger] MY HERO! MY PARENTS! Your love still lives inside my soul! Through the fire, through the darkness, You gave my broken heart its gold! I won't fold! I won't surrender! I'll keep rising, growing stronger! The Lord is the best of planners, I'll keep moving as I can! [Bridge — Female Lead] Mum, I miss you. Dad, I miss you. There are things I wish I could say. I'll carry your kindness, I'll carry your name, I'll turn all this hurt Into strength again. [Male — Spoken] I can't know tomorrow, I can't change the past, I'll build something honest that lasts. [Breakdown — Female Lead] I've got to find myself Before myself finds me. Face the truth inside, Become who I'm meant to be. With the Lord as my guide, There's still life inside me. [Final Chorus — Full Bass and Harmonies] MY HERO! MY PARENTS! Your love will always fill my soul! Through the fire, through the darkness, Your love helped make me whole! I won't fold! I won't surrender! I will rise and grow much stronger! The Lord is the best of planners, I'll trust Him as I stand! Though I cannot see the whole road, I'll keep moving, heart and soul! [Outro — Female Lead] To my heroes, my parents, Your love won't disappear. When the tunnel feels endless, I'll remember you are near. I've got to find myself... And I'm starting now. [Male — Final Line] The past made me. Faith guides me. The future's mine to build. [Female — Soft] My hero... My parents... Forever in my heart.
