I was just a kid with storms inside,
a room without a window,
a name I didn’t recognise
when I heard that first confession
playing in the car on some quiet parking lot.
It felt like someone finally
matched the shape of my chest.

Some voices don't just sing —
they pull you out of the sinking,
teach you how to breathe again
even when you swear you’re done.

And every year I changed,
but that sound never left —
it crawled into the hollow places
and kept the walls from caving in.

So here’s to all those broken hymns
that held me when I shook,
the words that didn’t judge me
when no one else looked.
You were the fire in the winter,
the scream beneath the skin —
thirty years of echoes,
and I’m still standing
because you let me in.

I carried different faces,
but the weight stayed just the same.
Life moved through me like a stranger,
calling me by the wrong name.

Some nights I walked blind alleys
just to hear something familiar
cutting through the dark —
that low, raw truth
that made the bruises feel seen.

Didn’t matter if I was rising
or bleeding in the dust —
those songs kept stitching
what the world kept tearing up.

So here’s to all those broken hymns
that steadied both my hands,
to the voices that remembered
when I couldn’t understand.
You were the rain in summer heat,
the calm beneath the spin —
thirty years of echoes,
and I’m still breathing
because you let me in.

Maybe we never choose
the ghosts that stay with us —
maybe some truths are born
already carrying our names.
And maybe that’s why your sound
still fits the shape of my pain —
not to keep me broken,
but to prove I never was.

So here’s to all those haunted chords
that held me through the night,
the comfort in the chaos,
the bruised but honest light.
If every step I took
was marked by where I’d been,
then thirty years of echoes
kept turning me
toward something like strength again.

I don’t know who I’d be
without the way you cut through —
but I know I’m still here,
and part of that
belongs to you.
