[Verse 1] Came from them nights when the hope felt gone, Had to find my strength when the road got long, Bills on the table, stress in my head, Dreams still alive even when they felt dead. Took a couple losses, had my back on the ropes, Every door closed, I was holdin’ onto hope, People switched sides when the weather got rough, That’s when I learned I was already enough. Had days I was angry, nights I broke down, Felt like the whole damn world spun around, But pressure make diamonds, fire make steel, Every scar on my heart taught me how to heal. [Chorus] I went through hell just to get right here, Fought through the pain, fought through the fear, Rain kept fallin’, but the sky finally cleared, Now everything I prayed for finally appeared. I lost, I learned, I fell, I grew, Had a thousand reasons not to make it through, Now I look at my life like, “Damn, dreams come true,” All that struggle had a purpose — I made it through. [Verse 2] Now the same hard times that were breakin’ my heart, Are the reason today nobody tear me apart, Had to lose some people, had to change my ways, Had to walk through darkness just to see better days. Now there’s food on the table and love in the home, Got people beside me, I don’t fight it alone, And I still got dreams, I ain’t done with the climb, But I finally understand everything takes time. Wouldn’t erase one scar, wouldn’t change one loss, ’Cause I know what I gained and I know what it cost, If the old me could see everything that came true, I’d look him in the eyes and say, “We made it through.” [Chorus] I went through hell just to get right here, Fought through the pain, fought through the fear, Rain kept fallin’, but the sky finally cleared, Now everything I prayed for finally appeared. I lost, I learned, I fell, I grew, Had a thousand reasons not to make it through, Now I look at my life like, “Damn, dreams come true,” All that struggle had a purpose — I made it through.
