[Verse 1] I was innocent with wonder Little heart full of stars and thunder Didn’t know the dark could wear a face Didn’t know pain could enter sacred space I stayed quiet like a secret flame Learned too early how to hide the pain Smiling while the sky turned cold Holding hurt no child should hold [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere underneath the fear A voice in me was still so clear Even when I lost my way Something in me chose to stay [Chorus] You made me hush, you stole the night But you could never kill my light You took my trust, you took my sky But you could never stop my fight I’m calling back what once was mine Piece by piece, I come alive What tried to break me made me rise Let this be strength for every cry [Verse 2] Years went by, I wore my grace Like pretty gold across the pain They saw the glow, they praised the shine Didn’t see the storm behind my eyes I confused love with being chosen Held my tears where time was frozen But every crack let truth come through And now I know what I must do [Pre-Chorus] I am not the shame I wore I am not what hurt me before I’m the voice that made it through I’m the proof that light renews [Chorus] You made me hush, you stole the night But you could never kill my light You took my trust, you took my sky But you could never stop my fight I’m calling back what once was mine Piece by piece, I come alive What tried to break me made me rise Let this be strength for every cry [Bridge] For the girl who still can’t say it For the boy who learned to fake it For the hearts that carry blame Please know you never caused the pain There’s a dawn beyond the grief There is power underneath If they buried your voice in fear Let this be the song you hear [Final Chorus] You made me hush, you stole the night But you could never kill my light You took my trust, you took my sky But you could never stop my fight I’m taking back what once was mine No more shadow on my life What tried to break me made me rise Let this be strength for every cry [Outro] You stole the night But not my light You stole the night But not my fight
