i used to hide behind a mask of shame

feeling broken like i was the one to blame

but then i found then i found

the strength inside of me

and now i stand as the person i was meant to be

i know i know it won't be easy

forgetting those bad memories memories i

i'm a survivor of a cruel and painful past

but now i'm stronger and i'm free at last

i've made peace with what i went through

and i know i'll never let it define who i am

i won't be silenced or held down by fear

i'll speak my truth and let my voice be clear

i'll stand up for those who still need to heal

and together we'll break down all these walls of steel

i know

it won't be easy

forgetting those bad memories i

i'm a survivor of a cruel and painful past

but now i'm stronger and i'm free at last

i've made peace with what i went through

and i know i'll never let it be find who i am

i won't let them control me

i'll break free at last

i'll keep on moving forward with hope in my heart

and i will never forget

how far i've come since the start

i'm a survivor of a cruel and painful past

but now i'm stronger and i'm free at last

i've made peace with what i went through

and i know i'll never let it define who

i am a survivor

of a cruel and painful past

but now i'm stronger and i'm free at last

i've made peace with what i went through

and i know i'll never let it define who

i am a survivor

and i'll keep on fighting

for a world of love and respect where we can all heal

and stand tall and true

we're all our past does not define what we can do
