I Made It Here Today

Verse 1

They told me I was nothing

A shadow in the rain

Made me learn to crawl before I ever found a name

Empty rooms and broken doors

A heart that learned to hide

But every scar I carried built a fire deep inside

Pre-Chorus

And I held on through the thunder

When the world forgot my name

Now I'm standing where I'm standing

I'm not playing that old game

Chorus

I made it out alive

I made it here today

Every tear I shed was paving my own way

They tried to break me down

But look at who I've grown

I survived the storm and I made it on my own

Post-Chorus

I made it

I made it

I made it here today

Verse 2

Sometimes the nights still whisper

With echoes of the past

But I learned to turn their whispers into something that would last

I found my own reflection

In a mirror I could trust

Every step I stumbled on was turning stones to dust

Pre-Chorus

And I won't forget the battle

Or the ones who meant me harm

'Cause the grip that tried to hold me down

Is loosening its arm

Chorus

I made it out alive

I made it here today

Every tear I shed was paving my own way

They tried to break me down

But look at who I've grown

I survived the storm and I made it on my own

Bridge

Now I walk a little taller

With my head against the sun

Everything they took from me

Was never truly done

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I made it out alive

I made it here today

Every tear I shed was paving my own way

They tried to break me down

But look at who I've grown

I survived the storm and I made it on my own

Post-Chorus

I made it

I made it

I made it here today
