Heir to the Broken

(Intro – Soft piano + spoken whisper)

This ain't just for me

It's for who's coming after

(Verse 1)

I bled so you ain't gotta

Walked through fire so you could walk farther

Took hits from the devil at full speed

So you could breathe where I couldn't breathe

If I break, let it build your steps

If I fall, let it guide what's next

I ain't clean, but I cleared that path

So your start don't echo my past

(Chorus – Melodic chant with layered echoes)

I was born in the war, now I fight for the peace

Paid my dues in the dark so your chains could release

Heir to the broken, rise from my pain

I ain't just healed — I left you my flame

What I suffered, let it speak

What I carried, let it teach

I ain't just saved — I sowed

And what I lost, you'll grow

(Verse 2)

I prayed you'd never taste my storms

That your hands would never need thorns

I stitched purpose in every scar

Hid sermons in every bar

Taught truth in the language of grief

So when you speak, it sets captives free

This ain't fame — it's seed

I planted so your soul could lead

(Bridge – Spoken Word over ambient chords)

You are the proof that my pain had worth

You are the legacy that outlives my hurt

I didn't just survive I prepared a place

(Final Chorus – Stripped down then full lift)

I was born in the war, now I fight for the peace

Paid my dues in the dark so your chains could release

Heir to the broken, rise from my pain

I ain't just healed — I left you my flame

What I suffered, let it speak

What I carried, let it teach

I ain't just saved — I sowed

And what I lost, you'll grow

(Outro – Whispered line with fading guitar loop)

You're walking on ground I prayed into place
