Not Broken Lyrics

I walk alone through streets that don't remember me

Lost voices echo from places I once called home

The weight of silence presses down heavy and true

I carry memories like stones each one a story

The nights grow longer stretching thin into dawn

With no promises no stars to guide me through

I search for pieces of myself scattered like ash

Learning to breathe in the dust of what was

I am fire I am dust

Not broken but born from the ashes

Through the storms through the quiet

I find my way piece by piece

There's no map no easy answer

But I'll make my own light in this darkness

I'm haunted by voices that tell me to stay small

To keep to the shadows to fear my own strength

But there's a power building rising slow within me

A fierce heart that won't be bound by fear

Every step is unsteady every choice a gamble

Yet I feel the earth beneath solid alive

The ground doesn't lie; it holds me when I fall

And I learn to stand over and over

I am fire I am dust

Not broken but born from the ashes

Through the storms through the quiet

I find my way piece by piece

There's no map no easy answer

But I'll make my own light in this darkness

The past is gone but it's written into my bones

Each scar a line in a song only I know

I sing it softly letting it fill the empty air

A testament to battles no one else has seen

And when I look back I see flames that didn't kill me

Just shadows left behind ghosts turning to mist

I am still here a heartbeat in the quiet dawn

Stepping forward learning to live as fire

I am fire I am dust

Not broken but born from the ashes

Through the storms through the quiet

I find my way piece by piece

There's no map no easy answer

But I'll make my own light in this darkness

I am fire I am dust

Not broken but born from the ashes

Through the storms through the quiet

I find my way piece by piece

There's no map no easy answer

But I'll make my own light in this darkness

With each step I leave behind what no longer serves

And with each breath I reclaim what was lost

The journey is long the path unwritten

But I am alive burning my way through the night
