I still remember, when the nights felt endless
You stood by me, when my world turned senseless
Every scar, every fear, every sleepless f***t
You were the voice that kept me alive in the night
Never asked for thanks, never wanted praise
Just a smile, while you lit up the darkest days
I was broken, but you pulled me through
Now I see that fire burnin’ inside of you
Every hero bleeds, every hero falls
But you stood your ground, you faced it all
Heroes are made, not born overnight
Strength is forged in the fire and f***t
You gave your all when I had none
Now it’s my turn to be the strong one
Ten long years, and I never doubted
That you’d be there, no matter how dark it sounded
You gave your heart, and you never slowed
Carrying weight that no one else could hold
Now you’re the one, in the eye of the storm
But I know you’ll rise, ‘cause that’s who you’ve always been born
Every lesson, every time you stood tall
Was the proof that you’ve earned your strength through it all
Every hero bleeds, every hero falls
But you kept on walking through broken walls
Heroes are made, not born overnight
Strength is forged in the fire and f***t
You gave your all when I had none
Now it’s my turn to be the strong one
You always told me, “Don’t give in, don’t break”
But even heroes can feel the quake
You’re not alone, I won’t let go
I’ll carry you like you carried my soul
Heroes are made, not born overnight
Strength is forged in the fire and f***t
You gave your all when I had none
Now it’s my turn to be the strong one
Heroes are made when the night feels long
You showed me the way, now I’ll be your song
Every scar you’ve ever worn
Proves heroes are made – not born!
