I woke up with the ocean at my feet, No name, no past, no memory. The sun was burning through the trees, And something ancient was watching me. I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know why I was here. I only knew one thing: I was alive. I learned to sleep beside the fire, To read the footprints in the sand. I learned the sound of distant footsteps, And how to run before they came. I built a shelter out of nothing, Put a door between me and the night. Every wall became a little promise: Maybe I’d make it through another night. Then the storm came… And took it all. So I started over, Piece by piece. With shaking hands, And broken knees. Every time the world took something, I found another reason to breathe. I ran so far, I gave it all, But in… the… ARK… I learned to be better. I lost my home, I lost my past, But in… the… ARK… I won’t surrender. I gave names to the things beside me, The ones that stayed when people didn’t. I watched them fall beneath the thunder, And felt their weight long after they were gone. I crossed the mountains, I crossed the sea. I faced the things that hunted me. Every victory cost a little more, Every scar became a part of me. I stopped asking, “Why me?” I started asking, “What’s next?” There were nights I wanted nothing But to disappear into the dark. But somewhere underneath the fear, There was still a beating heart. I ran so far, I gave it all, But in… the… ARK… I learned to be better. I lost my home, I lost my past, But in… the… ARK… I won’t surrender. Maybe survival isn’t winning. Maybe it’s what remains When everything you thought you were Has been stripped away. No map. No answers. No way to know the end. Just one more morning To begin again. You took my home. You took my friends. You took the person I was back then. But you didn’t take The part of me That still believes There’s more to see. I ran so far, I gave it all, But in… the… ARK… I learned to be better. I lost my home, I lost my past, But in… the… ARK… I WON’T SURRENDER! I crossed the dark, I faced the unknown, And every time I thought I was alone, The ARK took everything I thought I needed… And gave me something I never knew I had. I woke up with the ocean at my feet… This time… I knew my name… In the ARK… I won’t… Surrender…
