Song Description

I wanted to write a song with three different people, each having a difficult time in life and I wanted the Chorus to be universal to all three people's life.

Lyrics

We All Got Battles
© 2024 Michael Hanson Cantwell

[Verse 1]
She's standing in the rain, suitcase in her hand,
Leaving behind a life she'd never planned,
A new town waits, where no one knows her name,
She's searching for a fresh start, free from the pain.

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the road is long and cold,
She's got a fire that won't grow old,
Every step, she's finding her way,
Through the night, toward the day.

[Chorus]
We all got battles, we all got scars,
But we rise above, no matter how far,
Through every storm, through every fight,
We find our strength, we find the light,
In every heart, there's a flame that burns,
And we keep moving forward, we learn.

[Verse 2]
He's working late, the clock's ticking slow,
Dreams on hold, but he won't let them go,
Bills to pay, and a future to build,
In the grind, he's strong-willed.

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the nights are long and tough,
He knows that he is enough,
Every hour, he's pushing through,
With a heart that's strong and true.

[Chorus]
We all got battles, we all got scars,
But we rise above, no matter how far,
Through every storm, through every fight,
We find our strength, we find the light,
In every heart, there's a flame that burns,
And we keep moving forward, we learn.

[Verse 3]
She's sitting by the phone, tears in her eyes,
Waiting for a call that never arrives,
Love left her cold, but she won't break,
She's finding the courage for her own sake.

[Pre-Chorus]
And though her heart feels heavy now,
She's learning to stand, she's making a vow,
Every tear, she's turning to gold,
In her pain, she's growing bold.

[Chorus]
We all got battles, we all got scars,
But we rise above, no matter how far,
Through every storm, through every fight,
We find our strength, we find the light,
In every heart, there's a flame that burns,
And we keep moving forward, we learn.

[Bridge]
We've all been broken, we've all been bruised,
Lost in the dark, feeling confused,
But in those moments, we find our way,
Through the night, to a brand new day.

[Chorus]
We all got battles, we all got scars,
But we rise above, no matter how far,
Through every storm, through every fight,
We find our strength, we find the light,
In every heart, there's a flame that burns,
And we keep moving forward, we learn.

[Outro]
So no matter where you stand today,
Know that strength will find its way,
In every heart, the flame still burns,
And with each step, we live, we learn.
