Slowly But Surely (Based on my Pneumonia Recovery)

[Verse 1] I thought it was just the changing breeze Allergies playing tricks on me But the fever burned like a rising flame And something deeper whispered my name They swabbed and said you're negative But I could barely breathe to live Then X-rays showed what words could not A cloudy storm inside my heart [Chorus] Slowly but surely I'm finding my way Through the nights of pain and the endless days Every breath's a promise, every sigh's a prayer Healing's not quick, but I'm getting there [Verse 2] First blood drawn, yeah, I was scared But somehow I knew that someone cared The doctor's eyes, the gentle tone Said, "Rest a while. You're not alone." The world fell still, the lights were dim But hope kept softly singing within It's a fragile fight, but I'll survive The storm may fade, but I'm alive [Chorus] Slowly but surely I'm finding my way Through the nights of pain and the endless days Every breath's a promise, every sigh's a prayer Healing's not quick, but I'm getting there [Bridge] Now the fever breaks, the sky turns blue And I can finally see the truth Strength is born when you can't see clear I faced the fear and I'm still here [Outro] Slowly but surely I'm feeling the light Each dawn that comes feels warm and right Every heartbeat whispers, you made it through I'm healing, slowly but surely, it's true
