[Intro] Between the bills and the breaking, Between the tears and the aching, There's a girl with the world on her back, Searching for a road through the black. She doesn't need a crown or a throne, Just one damn night not feeling alone. But dawn comes calling, she's up again, Pulling on her armor, hiding the pain. [Verse 1] Two jobs, one heart, no time to breathe, A little boy depending on everything she can be. Six years old, his world plays a different song, She's learning every note, helping him along. She knows his storms, she speaks his language, Makes him feel safe in a world that’s strange. She celebrates the victories nobody sees, Every little breakthrough, every moment of peace. His father's all poison, no help, just spite, Makes war out of nothing, then disappears from sight. He leaves her the wreckage, the bills, the stress, While she holds their boy and shoulders the rest. [Pre-Chorus] She looks in the mirror: "God, I've given all I can. Why am I still drowning? Why can't I make a plan?" Then a little voice calls, And a small hand finds hers. But she doesn't see a hero In a world saying she's not enough. [Chorus] YOU'RE NOT FAILING! YOU'RE FIGHTING TO STAND! With the weight of the world and a life in your hands! You're not broken, or beaten, you're not beyond repair! You're raising up a miracle with nothing but your care! YOU'RE NOT WEAK BECAUSE YOU'RE TIRED! You're still burning when the world wants you fried! You don't have to move mountains, you don't have to win each day! Sometimes strength is just surviving and finding one more way! You're a good mother! You're a good soul! You're worth more than the burdens you control! This is not the end, don't surrender to the pain! HOLD ON, THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN! [Verse 2] You cared for the parents who should've cared for you, Gave them love and got back less than you were due. You were somebody's daughter, you needed someone too, Someone who'd protect you, someone who'd choose you. Your mother walked away, left the wreckage behind, Now you're picking up the pieces with no peace of mind. Two jobs, no sleep, just another uphill climb, Giving everyone your heart while running out of time. No husband beside you, no lover to hold, No friends at your door when the nights turn cold. Just one true friend who sees the pain you hide, Who stands beside the woman still fighting inside. You wonder if you're failing, if you're somehow not enough, But surviving every day isn’t the same as giving up. You didn't choose the wounds, didn't ask for the fight, But you keep choosing love in a world choosing spite. [Pre-Chorus] You can't make a deadbeat care. You can't make the cruel play fair. You can't save the ones who won't be saved. You can't give more than the life you have. [Chorus] YOU'RE NOT FAILING! YOU'RE FIGHTING TO STAND! With the weight of the world and a life in your hands! You're not broken, or beaten, you're not beyond repair! You're raising up a miracle with nothing but your care! YOU'RE NOT WEAK BECAUSE YOU'RE TIRED! You're still burning when the world wants you fried! You don't have to move mountains, you don't have to win each day! Sometimes strength is just surviving and finding one more way! You're a good mother! You're a good soul! You're worth more than the burdens you control! This is not the end, don't surrender to the pain! HOLD ON, THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN! [Bridge] Someday your little boy will understand Who stayed beside him, who held his hand. He won't remember every bill you paid, He'll remember the love that never walked away. You're not the things your mother left behind, Not the cruel words, not the years you lost to trying. You are every time you stood back up, Every time you gave from an already emptied cup. And you don't have to be a hero every night. You can cry. You can rest. You can ask for light. [Breakdown] LET THE BILLS COME DUE! LET THE DARKNESS RAIN! YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND STILL CHOSEN LOVE AGAIN! YOU ARE NOT YOUR PAIN! YOU ARE NOT THEIR LIES! YOU'RE STILL HERE! NOW LIFT YOUR EYES! [Final Chorus] YOU'RE STILL STANDING! YOUR’E A SU-PER-MAN! YOU'RE STILL STANDING! THERE IS MORE THAN THIS AHEAD! You're a good mother! You're a good soul! You deserve a life that's more than just survival! You don't have to win forever, just keep moving when you can! You're still here! YOU'RE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW! [Outro] One breath. One step. One little hand to hold. One heart still beating, refusing to turn cold. The world has asked too much of you, But there's life beyond the hell you've struggled through. You're not a failure. You're not alone. You're not the damage Other people have done. You stood when they wanted you to fall You made it through when they wanted you to fail You got back up when they beat you down Your fights not in vain, and it will get better. You don't have to be superhuman, You already are.
