[Intro leads into Verse 1] I’ve walked roads I swore I’d never Let my tired feet tread again, Where the echoes of old heartache Still remembered where I’d been. But the years have carved a wisdom In the cracks I used to hide— Now I stand where I was shattered With a stronger, steadier stride. [Pre‑Chorus] And the ghosts that used to haunt me Fade like shadows in the rain… ’Cause I’ve learned that healing happens When you face the deepest pain. [Chorus] This is where the broken starts to mend, Where the wounds begin to breathe again. Where the past don’t hold me hostage, And the hurt don’t have to win— Yeah, this is where the broken starts to mend. Where forgiveness finds its way back in. [Verse 2] There were words I carried heavy, Like a stone inside my chest, And the anger burned like wildfire Till it left my spirit stressed. But I found that letting go Ain’t forgetting what was wrong— It’s the courage to stop bleeding And to choose to carry on. [Pre‑Chorus] And the scars that once defined me Now just mark how far I’ve come… Every tear that hit the ground Was a seed of who I’ve become. [Chorus] This is where the broken starts to mend, Where the wounds begin to breathe again. Where the past don’t hold me hostage, And the hurt don’t have to win— Yeah, this is where the broken starts to mend. Where forgiveness finds its way back in. [Guitar Solo shifts into Bridge] And I’ll reach my hand to others Who are walking wounded too— ’Cause the healing grows much stronger When we share what we’ve been through. Every story, every sorrow, Every night we thought would end— Becomes a lantern for the next one Searching for a place to mend. [Final Chorus] This is where the broken starts to mend, Where the wounds begin to breathe again. Where the past don’t hold me hostage, And the hurt don’t have to win— Yeah, this is where the broken starts to mend. Where forgiveness finds its way back in. This is where the broken starts to mend… And I rise like I’m whole again. [Outro]
