Dreaming Awake - Wounds of Light [ Lyrics and music description by ME, Ai song ]

Lyrics by ME I've been walking through the shadows for so long, Carrying the weight of battles never won. Every night my demons whisper in my ear, Telling me to surrender, feeding all my fears. The scars of yesterday still burn beneath my skin, Old wounds meet the new ones, where the healing should begin. Sometimes they break open when I think I'm standing tall, But I've learned that every fall is not the end at all. Through the cracks, the darkness leaves, With every breath, I still believe. These wounds are rays of light, Breaking through the endless night. Every scar becomes a door, Letting out the ghosts I wore. With the hands that hold me near, And the strength I've built through tears, I rise again, I won't give in, The battle lives, but so do I within. The years have left their marks upon my soul, Yet every step I take brings me closer to being whole. Friends and family stand beside me through the storm, Keeping fragile sparks alive when hope is worn. Some demons fade because of love they've shown, The ones that still remain I'll face on my own. Not because I'm fearless, not because I'm strong, But because I've learned that fighting means moving on. Through the cracks, the darkness leaves, With every breath, I still believe. These wounds are rays of light, Breaking through the endless night. Every scar becomes a door, Letting out the ghosts I wore. With the hands that hold me near, And the strength I've built through tears, I rise again, I won't give in, The battle lives, but so do I within. I know there will be more shadows ahead, More voices trying to live inside my head. But this is the rhythm, the way life flows, Every ending plants another seed that grows. Now I welcome every challenge that arrives, Not as an enemy, but proof that I'm alive. These wounds are rays of light, Guiding me beyond the night. Every scar a testament, To all the pain I've overcome. With the love that lights my way, And the courage I create each day, The demons come, the demons go, And I stand ready for every road. The wounds remain, but so does hope, A brighter flame with every blow. The darkness fades, the light shines through, And every scar becomes something new.
