Letra
(Verse 1)
I woke up before the sun would rise
Worked till my hands were rough and tired eyes
Gave up my games, gave up all my fun
Just to be the best son you’d ever known
I fixed cars, I worked all day trained to be a fighter
Studied late so I could find my way
Every step I took, every goal I chased
Was just to see that smile upon your face
You’d say “Son, you’re my pride, you’re my greatest part”
That was enough to fill my whole heart
(Chorus)
I worked so hard just to make you proud
But the day you left, they tore me down
They whispered lies, they twisted every word
Made up stories that I never heard
Jealous of my spark, jealous of my drive
Scared I’d do better, scared I’d thrive
Left me alone, no hand to hold at all
All ‘cause they’re scared I’d stand taller than them all
(Verse 2)
They came in suits when you were laid to rest
Smiled at the crowd, acted like they cared best
But once the dust had settled and the guests were gone
Their true colors showed, their real plans came on
They said I was lazy, said I stole your things
Said I was selfish, said I didn’t bring
No love or care, that I was rotten deep
All lies they made up just to see me weep
They hated how you loved me, how you trusted me too
Hated that I had the heart I got from you
They saw I had more will, more hope, more fight
And did everything to turn my dark and night
(Chorus)
I worked so hard just to make you proud
But the day you left, they tore me down
They whispered lies, they twisted every word
Made up stories that I never heard
Jealous of my spark, jealous of my drive
Scared I’d do better, scared I’d thrive
Left me alone, no hand to hold at all
All ‘cause they’re scared I’d stand taller than them all
(Bridge)
They kicked me out, left me on the street
Said I don’t belong, said I’m weak and cheap
But they don’t know what you taught me deep inside
That strength and truth are what will never die
They spread their tales to drag my name through mud
Just to hide that they are small and full of grudge
They don’t have what you gave me — that lion’s heart
That’s why they hate me, that’s why they tear me apart
(Chorus)
I worked so hard just to make you proud
But the day you left, they tore me down
They whispered lies, they twisted every word
Made up stories that I never heard
Jealous of my spark, jealous of my drive
Scared I’d do better, scared I’d thrive
Left me alone, no hand to hold at all
All ‘cause they’re scared I’d stand taller than them all
(Outro)
You knew the truth, you knew my heart and soul
You knew I tried, you knew I gave it all
They can lie and cheat, they can drag my name
But you’re still proud — that’s all I need to stay
One day I’ll rise, I’ll shine and make it through
And I’ll say “Dad, this is all for you”
Im truly become the greatest person
Thank for making me a Shirdel
One heart
One roar
Heart of lion
I woke up before the sun would rise
