This Song Is Me

I hide the cracks that no one sees

Silent storms are breaking me

I wear a smile but it won't stay

It fades like the night into grey

I carry weight I can't explain

Every step feels carved in pain

I'm walking roads that feel alone

But Lord, I'm trying to make it home

This song is me, it weeps, it prays

A broken truth the night displays

The world won't see the tears I've cried

But heaven knows what's deep inside

I'm more than pain, I'm more than scars

Even when hope feels far

The mirror shows a weary face

Still searching for redeeming grace

My voice is trembling, my soul is torn

But even in ashes, faith is born

There's a fire they can't erase

Buried deep, it holds its place

Even shattered hearts can rise

Even shadows hide the skies

This song is me, it weeps, it prays

A broken truth the night displays

The world won't see the tears I've cried

But heaven knows what's deep inside

I'm more than pain, I'm more than scars

Even when hope feels far

Hold on, hold on, I'm holding on tight

My tears are not wasted, they'll turn into light

I'm stronger than sorrow, I'm stronger than fear

Lift up my voice — I know God hears

This song is me, it weeps, it prays

A broken truth the night displays

The world won't see the tears I've cried

But heaven knows what's deep inside

I'm more than pain, I'm more than scars

Even when hope feels far

So let the silence hear my name

I am not lost, just walking through pain

One day the night will let me through

Until that time, this song is true
