[Verse 1] I was born inside a broken home, Where anger lived and love had gone. As a child I saw the storms unfold, And learned to face the world alone. The wounds I carried through the years Became the shadows of my pain. I built my walls, I learned to fight, And wore my scars like chains. [Verse 2] I fought the ones who brought me down, I fought the ones who tried to care. I had forgotten what trust looked like, Or how to let love enter there. I found my refuge on the field, Where sweat and struggle eased the rage. With every game and every fall, I slowly turned the page. [Chorus] This is my letter of forgiveness, Written through the tears I've cried. Though the past still leaves its scars, I no longer have to hide. You are still my father, Though the trust has come and gone. The pain may live within my story, But it won't define my song. [Verse 3] As I grew older, something changed, The anger slowly lost its hold. I searched for pieces of my family, And found a truth I couldn't hold. The broken parts still remained, Some wounds may never truly heal. But I discovered in my heart That forgiveness could be real. [Chorus] This is my letter of forgiveness, Written through the tears I've cried. Though the past still leaves its scars, I no longer have to hide. You are still my father, The man who gave this life to me. And through the pain and through the struggle, You helped shape who I would be. [Bridge] Beside me walks my loyal friend, Zorro by my side. Through every storm and every night, He helped me survive. I am not the broken child, I am not the shattered home. I am the strength that carried on, The survivor who has grown. [Final Chorus] This is my letter of forgiveness, I release the pain at last. I cannot change what happened then, But I don't belong to the past. I carry hope, I carry strength, I carry peace within my soul. Though the road was long and difficult, I finally made it home. [Outro] So this letter now is finished, And these words I leave behind: I forgive, I heal, I carry on— A survivor for all time.
