Yeah... I know what I've done. I know the roads I've walked. But I'm still here... And this time, I'm walking toward the light. I carried every mistake like a chain on my chest, Running from the mirror, never giving myself rest. I made promises I broke, I let good people down, Built a kingdom out of ashes, then I watched it burn down. I blamed the night, I blamed the pain, Blamed every storm that came with rain. But truth don't care about the lies, It waits for you behind your eyes. I can't erase what I became, Can't wash the blood away with shame. But I can face the man I see, And finally take responsibility. Ahhh... Let the strings remember every scar... Every tear... Every broken promise... I know forgiveness ain't something you demand, It's something you earn with your heart and your hands. So I stopped asking people to forget what I did, Started changing every day instead of running from it. No more hiding in the dark, No more feeding every spark. I found courage in the pain, Turned the loss into a flame. I don't need to call myself a saint, I know exactly where I ain't. Redemption ain't a clean white road, It's carrying your past and changing how you hold it. I fell... I broke... I lost my way... But I got up again today. This is my redemption, Not a crown, not a throne. It's the man I'm becoming When nobody's watching me alone. I can't change yesterday, But I can change today. If I have to walk through fire, I'll walk all the way. This is my redemption, My battle, my release. I won't run from who I was, I'll become who I can be. Ohhh... From darkness into light... From ashes into life... I've got scars underneath this skin, Proof of every war I couldn't win. But scars don't mean the story ends, Sometimes broken roads become the road that mends. I lost some people on the way, Some wounds don't disappear with time. But I can honor what was lost By becoming better than the man behind. So let the old me stay behind, Let him fade into the night. I don't need to kill my past, I just need to stop letting it drive. Every step is a choice, Every breath becomes a voice. And if I fall, I'll rise again, Because redemption ain't the end. If you see me now, Don't look away. I'm not asking you To erase yesterday. Just look at the road beneath my feet... I'm finally walking straight. I was drowning... Now I'm breathing... I was broken... Now I'm healing... This is my redemption, And I'm paying every price. Not with words, but with the life I choose to live tonight. I can't change yesterday, But yesterday won't own my name. I walked through all that darkness Just to learn to face the flame. This is my redemption, My battle, my release. I made peace with who I was So I could finally become me. No more chains. No more lies. No more running from my eyes. I know the man I used to be, But he doesn't decide who I become. I fell... I learned... I changed... And for the first time... I forgive myself.
