Where am I going, why am I here
I keep on walking yet I live in fear
The path keeps turning, stretching on and on
So I write my trials into this simple song

I feel so lost with nowhere to go
I close my eyes so my fear won’t show
Some days are heavy, some never end
I keep on moving again and again

But somewhere inside me a light still burns
A quiet hope with every turn
I’ve carried the weight for far too long
Now I’m ready to move on

In the next chapter, I want to shine
Let all these worries fall behind
I’ve walked through shadows, but I’m still strong
I’m finding my way with every song

Some days I’m walking with a trembling heart
Trying to hold myself together when I’m falling apart
The world feels heavy and the nights feel long
I’m still searching for where I belong

In the next chapter, I want to shine
Let all these worries fall behind
I’ve walked through shadows, but I’m still strong
I’m finding my way with every song

I’ve been shaken, but I’m still breathing
Lost in the dark, yet somehow believing
Every hard road taught me how to rise
There’s a quiet fire still burning inside

In the next chapter, I want to shine
Let all these worries fall behind
I’ve walked through shadows, but I’m still strong
I’m finding my way with every song

Maybe tomorrow, in that quiet steady climb
I’ll find my way to something that’s mine

Verse 1
From your very first breath, until this very day
I’ve loved you in every moment, in every way
Tiny hands that reached for mine, eyes so wide and true
The world grew brighter the day I met you

Chorus
You are my heart, you are my song
The reason I’ve been strong all along
Through every storm, through skies of blue
My greatest gift in life is you

Verse 2
I’ve watched you stumble, I’ve watched you grow
Cheered for your courage in all you’ve come to know
Every laugh, every tear, every dream you chase
I see forever when I see your face

Bridge
And when the years carry you far from home
Remember my love will follow where you roam
No distance, no time could ever undo
The endless bond between me and you

Final Chorus (softer)
You are my heart, you are my song
The love I’ve carried all along
From your first breath, to skies brand new
Forever and always, I’ll love you
