My Story's Not Over

Verse 1

The morning sun creeps through the windowpane

But it’s shadowed by this heavy, hidden strain

I look in the mirror, and I hardly recognize

The weariness that's settled in my eyes

I’m tired of the limits, tired of the fight

Spending all my energy just making it through the night

And I don't want to feel this way anymore,

Just knocking on an ever-closed door.

Chorus

But the story’s not over, the pen is in my hand

I'm building a bridge across this shifting sand

I’m pushing through the clouds to see the morning sun

Because the best parts of my life have just begun

I will rise, I will breathe, I will stand up tall

I'm learning how to bend so I don't ever have to fall.

Verse 2

Some days are a battle just to tie my shoes

It’s so easy to let the frustration fuse

To ask the endless "why me?" in the quiet dark

While trying to recover every single spark

But I refuse to let this body be my only name

I won't let the sorrow put out my flame

I want to feel the sunlight, I want to feel the breeze,

And finally bring this aching to its knees.

Chorus

But the story’s not over, the pen is in my hand

I'm building a bridge across this shifting sand

I’m pushing through the clouds to see the morning sun

Because the best parts of my life have just begun

I will rise, I will breathe, I will stand up tall

I'm learning how to bend so I don't ever have to fall.

Bridge

It’s okay to be wounded, it’s okay to be scared

But I’m looking at the future, and I’m fully prepared

To take it day by day, step by steady step

Appreciating every promise kept.

My history is heavy, but my wings are taking flight

I’m stepping out the shadows, stepping in the light.

Chorus

Yeah, the story’s not over, the pen is in my hand

I'm building a bridge across this shifting sand

I’m pushing through the clouds to see the morning sun

Because the best parts of my life have just begun

I will rise, I will breathe, I will stand up tall

I'm learning how to bend so I don't ever have to fall.

Outro

I don't want to feel this way anymore...

And I won't.

I'm stepping toward tomorrow.

Stronger than before.

I am healing.

I am whole.

I am moving on.
