Endurance

Verse 1

Hard from the start, cold world around,
Learned too early how pain sounds.
They laughed at my questions, mocked every fall,
When I hit the ground, nobody called.

Words built walls, walls built a cage,
Every single day felt older than my age.
They said, “You won’t be anything at all,”
So I learned to believe when the lights went off.

Pre-Chorus (sung)

Every time I fell, I stood back up,
Even when life tried to call my bluff.
My past’s not chains, it’s proof I survived,
It pushes me forward, keeps me alive.

Chorus (sung)

They can kick me down without regret,
But if I make mistakes, they never forget.
Still I won’t back down, I won’t break,
I stand my ground no matter what’s at stake.

They laughed at me, said I’d never be,
But here I am, still being me.
Whoever stands there blocking my way,
I won’t step back – this is where I stay.

Verse 2

If I hurt someone, it’s written in stone,
One wrong move and I stand alone.
But when I’m hurting, it’s “you’ll be fine,”
They call it strength while I’m losing time.

Scales were never balanced, never fair,
Judgment for them, survival for me there.
Every scar inside me draws a line,
Not breaking me – just showing the sign.

Bridge (emotional)

I don’t want revenge, I want the truth,
To be seen for the pain, the strength, the proof.
I didn’t turn bitter, I grew strong,
Faith, not anger, is what pulls me on.

Chorus (final – stronger)

They can kick me down without regret,
But if I make mistakes, they never forget.
Still I won’t back down, I won’t break,
I stand my ground no matter what’s at stake.

They laughed at me, said I’d never be,
But here I am, still being me.
Whoever stands there blocking my way,
I won’t step back – this is where I stay.
