Stronger Through The Fire

The night was cold, the wind was mean
Shadows stretched where hope had been

He was born with nothing but an empty hand
Walking broken roads across a barren land
Every scar he carried was carved in stone
Fighting every battle on his own

Through the fire, through the pain
He found his strength in the pouring rain
Every fall just fed the flame
He rose up stronger, never the same

Whiskey nights and the devil's deal
The weight of hunger was all too real
But he stood his ground when the dark came near
Turned his fear into iron, carved from years

Through the fire, through the pain
He found his strength in the pouring rain
Every fall just fed the flame
He rose up stronger, never the same

The river tried to drown him, the desert tried to break
But his soul was burning, no storm could take
From the ashes rising, eyes set on the sky
Every time he stumbled, he learned how to fly

Now the road still twists with the weight of sin
But the man keeps walking, won't give in
The harder the mountain, the louder he sings
For every chain broken gives birth to wings

Through the fire, through the pain
He found his strength in the pouring rain
Every fall just fed the flame
He rose up stronger, never the same

The night is long, but his fire burns
Every trial passed is a lesson learned
In the darkest places, his story's told
Of a man made stronger, with a heart of gold
