Verse 1 I believe that strength is born from pain, I believe that empathy is worth more than gold. I believe that kindness lives in every heart, Waiting for a story to be told. I have grown stronger than I ever wished to be, I have grown richer than I ever dreamed. And I have met kind souls along the way, Far more than I deserve, it seems. Chorus How can I say why this is me? How can I show who I used to be? A shadow of myself, yet I feel alive, More alive than I have ever been. Verse 2 I believe that love is what we’re searching for, I believe a child should never play alone. I believe we’re made for something more, For a place where every heart feels known. I have found my half right here beside me, I have reached the lonely with my song. I have given life my everything, And still the road keeps calling me along. Chorus How can I say why this is me? How can I show who I used to be? A shadow of myself, yet I feel alive, More alive than I have ever been. Bridge Please, stand by me—I can’t do this alone. The world will never know what it takes To open the door, to carry the weight. We need more—more help from above. Outro I believe we can be all we dreamed we’d be. Please, stand by me… Please, stand by me…,
