Intro] [Verse] I see it in your eyes, the fire I never had. Confidence like sunlight, breaking through the past. Pride and envy together hit me at once. The mirror of your courage, shadow of my risks. [Verse 1] I grew through storms I didn’t understand. Every scar a teacher, every loss a hand. I wish I could’ve seen the future like I see it now. The struggles ahead, I’d meet them without bow. I want to hold that certainty in my chest. To walk toward what’s coming, not feel oppressed. Looking at you, I feel the shift. The gift of your spirit, my soul’s uplift. [Pre-Chorus] I feel the weight of the past I’ve known. And the light of the path your confidence has shown. I’m learning to see the pain as a gift. To carry it forward, let my spirit lift. [Chorus] We are the sum of the struggles we survive. Every tear, every bruise, every time we strived. The past gave us meaning, the future gives chance. To walk unafraid, to stand, to dance. I see it in you, the courage I sought. The confidence I dreamed of, the lessons it brought. We carry the gifts, even scars have weight. The past made us strong, the future we create. [Verse 2 ] I wish I could feel the coming storms like grace. Not fear, not doubt, just trust in my pace. Every struggle ahead, I’d greet with a smile. Knowing it shapes me, gives life its style. I look at you, see what I could be. A map of growth, a soul running free. I’m learning to welcome what I once feared. Treasure the moments, the pain we cleared. [Bridge] The past was a gift, even when it broke me. The future is a gift, even when I can’t yet see. Your confidence reminds me, the journey’s not done. The fire in your eyes, is the fire I’ve won. [Final Chorus] We are the sum of the struggles we survive. Every tear, every bruise, every time we strived. The past gave us meaning, the future gives chance. To walk unafraid, to stand, to dance. I see it in you, the courage I sought. The confidence I dreamed of, the lessons it brought. We carry the gifts, even scars have weight. The past made us strong, the future we create. The past made us strong… The future... we create…
