The Window's Son Lyrics

Born in the dark, where the sun never shone

Mama cried silently, she was raising me alone

Daddy gone now, left his blood in the streets

Now it's just me, with the weight in my feet

She worked two jobs, never sleeping at night

Her hands were full of pain, but her heart was full of fight

Told me, boy, stand tall, don't you ever kneel

Life don't test you, but your soul is still

All the windows are locked if I'm struggling to pay

Now I stand in the storm, but I dance in the rain

They roll me up, but I lose up strong

I was just enjoying all along

Days without meals, just water and hope

Mama kept the faith while she walked that road

The system ain't fair, tried to break us down

But a king still rises even without a crown

Streetlights flicker, dreams whisper my name

I choose this life, but I mastered the game

They said I'd fall, they said I was done

But legends are made, I'm the widow's son

I'm the widow's son, dealt with struggle and pain

Now I stand in the storm, but I dance in the rain

They roll me up, but I lose up strong

I was just enjoying all along

Every star on my skin is a lesson I learned

Every breeze that they burned was a kingdom I earned

Mama's prayers kept me even when times got tough

Now I see it on the go, cause she made me in love

Now I look back, see the fire I crossed

The nights I was broke, the dreams that I lost

But nothing was wasted, it made me a man

Now I feed my own seeds with these two strong hands

Mama, no more tears on your face

No more nights wondering how to keep up the pace

The widow's son, yeah, I carried the flame

Now the whole world gone, but never mind me

I'm the widow's son, dealt with struggle and pain

Lost in the storm, but I dance in the rain

They roll me up, but I lose up strong

I was just enjoying all along
