Lyrics

I was only ten, but I remember it all
The way you stood so tall, though you'd stumble and fall
You were proud, you were fierce, you fought every day
But the pain in your eyes wouldn't fade away
You weren't always gentle, you weren't always kind
But I knew deep inside, you loved me in your way
It was hard to see you hurting, harder to say goodbye
I was just a child, trying to understand why
You were a storm, you were a fire
Burning bright, but fading in time
I'm still standing in the wake of it all
Trying to make sense of the rise and fall
In the shadows, in the light
I carry you with me through the darkest nights
I've been torn, I've been healed
But through it all, I learned to feel
The love you gave, though it wasn't always clear
It's shaped who I am, year after year
In the shadows and the light, you're always near
Life was never easy, but you did what you could
Taught me how to stand tall, how to be understood
But I still wonder if you knew the cost
Of the battles you fought, and what was lost
I see your strength, I see your pain
And sometimes it's hard to hold the two the same
But your love, though quiet, was always there
In the moments we shared, in the burdens you bared
Now I'm grown, and I can see
The pieces of you that live in me
The struggle, the fight, the pride and the flame
I'll never be the same
In the shadows, in the light
I carry you with me through the darkest nights
I've been torn, I've been healed
But through it all, I learned to feel
The love you gave, though it wasn't always clear
It's shaped who I am, year after year
In the shadows and the light, you're always near
Sometimes I wish you were still here
But I know you're free, no more fear
You've given me more than words can say
I carry your heart with me every day
In the shadows, in the light
I carry you with me through the darkest nights
I've been torn, I've been healed
But through it all, I learned to feel
The love you gave, though it wasn't always clear
It's shaped who I am, year after year
In the shadows and the light, you're always near
In the shadows and the light…
You're always here…
