Your Day

Every morning, I put on another face Step into the roles I carry every day Someone's son, someone's father, someone's strength Keep on moving, even when I'm running out of faith I wear a smile like everything's alright Say "I'm okay" when I'm breaking deep inside I learned to hold it in, to never ask for help But nobody knows the battles I don't tell They never see the nights behind my smile Or all the weight I've carried mile by mile It's only when the room goes dark and still I feel how tired my heart has really been Some lose the ones they thought would always stay And learn to face a world that's changed in just one day Some put their dreams aside for those they love Giving more than they believed they had enough Some lose the place they've spent their whole lives standing Some watch their carefully built worlds slip away And even when their hearts are barely holding They find a smile and face another day You've been through more than anyone could know Carried all that pain without letting it show All those dreams and all those tears you hid away You still found the strength to face another day It wasn't just the things we left behind But the precious days we can't rewind All the dreams we shared, the laughter that we knew All the yesterdays that won't come back to you The world won't stop because you're hurting inside The morning comes, there's nowhere left to hide The things you need to do are waiting there Even on the days when life feels so unfair They say that time will heal the wounds we bear But we know time alone was never there It was the strength we found when we were low That helped us rise and taught us how to grow There were nights we thought we'd had enough Days when getting up was just too tough But look at us, we're standing here today We found the strength to make it through the pain I know how hard you've tried to carry on How many times you've smiled when hope was gone You don't have to hide your heart from me You don't have to be who they expect you to be You've been strong for far too long Even when you thought that you were wrong Every road that brought you here somehow Made you who you are, and you're enough right now You've been through more than anyone could know Carried all that pain without letting it show Now it's okay to smile, it's okay to rest You don't have to prove that you can take the test You've lived through storms that no one else could see And still you found your way to where you need to be Every night you faced, every tear you cried Made you someone precious, standing here alive If you ever felt that no one knew your pain If you thought your days were all lived out in vain Remember every step you've taken through the years Every quiet victory, every hidden tear Your life has meaning, more than you can see Your strength has touched someone unknowingly And if tonight you're fighting on your own Remember, you are never truly alone You've made it this far, through the darkest night And after everything, you're still a light
