[Verse 1]
You were born with fire in your quiet bones  
Small town whispers carved you into stone  
They never saw the gold beneath your skin  
Just counted up your faults and called it sin

You built your house with steady hands  
Made love and babies, made your plans  
While they were talking, throwing blame  
You stayed soft and never played their game

[Pre-Chorus]
They don't know the weight you carry  
Or the nights you cry alone  
They don't see the grace you're wearing  
Like a crown they never owned

[Chorus]
But I see you  
Every crack and every scar  
You’re the brave one in the dark  
Holding light in both your hands

Yeah I hear you  
Even when you bite your tongue  
Still the strongest one among ‘em  
Standing tall where you began

They can call you black sheep, baby  
But I know what heaven sees  
There’s a halo in your shadow  
And you’ll always be my family

[Verse 2]
You chose love over gasoline  
When the matches struck and burned your dreams  
Took the high road every time  
Even when it cost your peace of mind

You don’t fight to win the war  
You fight to keep your little ones sure  
That kindness isn’t weakness, no  
It’s the strongest kind of soul

[Pre-Chorus]
They don't know the prayers you whisper  
Over sleeping heads at night  
They don't see the storm you swallow  
Just to keep your circle tight

[Chorus]
But I see you  
Every crack and every scar  
You’re the brave one in the dark  
Holding light in both your hands

Yeah I hear you  
Every tear you never show  
Every time you let it go  
Choosing love instead of leaving

They can call you black sheep, baby  
But I know what heaven sees  
There’s a halo in your shadow  
And you’ll always be my family

[Bridge - Stripped Back]
Blood don’t make a sister  
Pain don’t make you small  
Sometimes the ones who hurt you  
Aren’t your home at all

If the world turns cold and reckless  
And they try to make you bleed  
You’ve got a place beside me  
Right here next to me

[Final Chorus - Big, Emotional]
‘Cause I see you  
And I’ll say it loud and clear  
You don’t owe them your tears  
You don’t owe them anything

Yeah I choose you  
Through the silence and the flame  
Through the heartbreak and the shame  
You don’t fight this on your own

They can call you black sheep, baby  
But I know what heaven sees  
There’s a halo in your shadow  
And you’ll always be my family

Always be my family.
