[Verse 1 – soft guitar + piano, breathy delivery] Some days feel like they’ll never end Shadows creeping in again I see your smile in the smallest things And I hear your voice when the night still sings Every scar, every tear I’ve known Carved the path that’s led me home And though you’re gone, your light still burns Guiding me with every turn [Pre‑Chorus – soft lift, pads swelling] When the weight tries to pull me under When the night steals the sky from the thunder I remember what you’d say And it carries me away… [Chorus – euphoric lift, sustained raspy grit] Don’t let hard days win Breathe and remember who you are within [belt, sustain long note] Every step, every breath’s for you I’m still standing, I’m still true Don’t let hard days win Breathe and remember who you are within Through the fire, through the scars I remember who we are [Rap – raspy grit, fast cadence, emotional] Yeah, I’ve been knocked down, hit the floor, no light Fighting every shadow in the middle of the night Told myself breathe, keep the fire alive Even when the pain cuts deep like a knife Lost too much, can’t fake my ground But I rise with the beat, hear the thunder sound Every scar’s a medal from the battles I’ve fought Every tear is a lesson that the hard days taught I’ve been torn, I’ve been bent, but I’m still that flame You can’t take my voice, you can’t kill my name Even if the world tries to break my hand I’ll stand tall, make ‘em understand This is more than a fight, it’s a vow I made To the one I lost and the life we paved So I shout to the sky, let the storm begin I won’t let the hard days win [Verse 2 – brighter plucks, soft kick] I’ve been lost in the noise of the crowd Searching for your voice out loud The beat inside still calls your name Every drop feels like a flame The sky breaks open, I feel the rise Hands up high toward the endless skies I close my eyes and I’m not afraid I hear you in the sound we made [Pre‑Chorus – emotional lift] When the weight tries to pull me under When the night steals the sky from the thunder I remember what you’d say And it carries me away… [Chorus – euphoric lift, sustained raspy grit] Don’t let hard days win Breathe and remember who you are within [belt, sustain long note] Every step, every breath’s for you I’m still standing, I’m still true Don’t let hard days win Breathe and remember who you are within Through the fire, through the scars I remember who we are [Outro – soft piano + fading pads] Don’t let hard days win… Breathe and remember who you are… (fade) ---
