[Verse]
Heart heavy, fallin' apart, my life's torn
Feelin' the weight, thinkin' 'bout the day I was born
Dark clouds, no sun, every step's a chore
Prayin' to the sky, "what you got in store?"
Bruised knuckles, bruised soul, dream's flickerin'
Left in the cold, can't feel what's quickenin'
Demons on my shoulders, whisperin', tickin' down
"God, is this it? You lettin' me drown?"

[Bridge]
Voice crackles like static, my signal to the ether
"Hold on, young soldier, you still a believer
Through the storm, there's a plan, trust the grand
Play the cards dealt, you're in the palm of my hand"

[Chorus]
Stay strong, when the night is long
Through the pain, there's a hidden song
Dreams shatter, but hope ain't gonna ban
It's all a piece of the master plan

[Verse 2]
Lost job, rent due, life suffocatin’
See my dreams fade, feel the cold world hatin'
Shackled by the sorrow, chin up to the frame
Look for a savior, my call, hope it came
Cracked mirror, can't see my shine true
Battle scars deep, more than just the physical view
"God, what's the deal? Spin me some reason
Tell me there's a purpose in all this grievin'?"

[Bridge]
Answer came subtle, echo through my tears
"Child, you're stronger than the sum of your fears
Storm's a test, a grind, it's your rite to claim
Rise above the ashes, your spirit's untamed"

[Chorus]
Stay strong, when the night is long
Through the pain, there's a hidden song
Dreams shatter, but hope ain't gonna ban
It's all a piece of the master plan
