Shadows of Strength

[Intro] [Verse 1] Silent hands that built the dawn, working scars they carry on, Eyes that trace the weight of time, love they give but seldom shown. In the margins, they stand tall, whispers echo through the hall, Every step a battle fought, lessons taught but left unsung. [Chorus] Shadows hold their weary hearts, yet they rise where light departs, Quiet kings without a throne, seeds of hope they’ve gently sown. Through the storms, they bend but stay, guiding lights in muted gray, Fathers’ voices, strong and deep—in the shadows, love won’t sleep. [Verse 2] Midnight calls to mend the breaks, dreams deferred for family’s sake, Pride wrapped tight in weary coats, stories etched in weathered notes. They’re the backbone, seldom praised, navigating judgment’s maze, Holding home with unseen grace, love’s embrace in every space. [Bridge] Oh, the world may never see the tears that water legacy, But the roots grow strong below, where their quiet rivers flow. Break the chains of silent nights, let their fire reclaim the light, For the strength that history hides lives in every child’s stride. [Chorus] Shadows hold their weary hearts, yet they rise where light departs, Quiet kings without a throne, seeds of hope they’ve gently sown. Through the storms, they bend but stay, guiding lights in muted gray, Fathers’ voices, strong and deep—in the shadows, love won’t sleep. [Outro]
