Chapters of This Life

Written by BRAD MAYS

Chapters of This Life

Verse 1
These lines on my face
Show proof of all my trials
Through a life of pain and love
Chaos and survival
In this moment truth shines through
Like a singing Sunday choir
With the message of my revival

Pre-Chorus
I’m not broken, I’m a survivor,
Every tear has made me strong—
An image forged through fire
Showing me I’ve been here all along

Chorus
From the ashes I am rising,
Through the darkness comes the light.
Every scar becomes a story
In the chapters of this life

Our hard times don’t define us
They refine the soul inside
Every scar a story
In the chapters of this life

Verse 2
I see the same fight in your eyes,
The storms you’ve tried to hide.
When dark clouds break to light,
it reveals the hope inside.
We’re not alone in all this madness,
We’re right where we belong
Each shadow holds a purpose,
The silence shapes our song.

Chorus
From the ashes we are rising,
Through the darkness comes the light.
Every scar becomes a story
In the chapters of this life

Our hard times don’t define us
They refine the soul inside
Every scar a story
In the chapters of this life

Bridge
All the weight I carried,
I can finally let it go.
Every loss and every struggle
Built a strength I didn’t know.
Now I stand here, wide open,
With nothing left to hide
The past becomes my power,
The future is my guide

Chorus
From the ashes I am rising,
Through the darkness comes the light.
Every scar becomes a story
In the chapters of this life

Our hard times don’t define us
They refine the soul inside
Every scar a story
In the chapters of this life

Chorus
From the ashes I am rising,
Through the darkness comes the light.
Every scar becomes a story
In the chapters of this life
Every scar a story
In the chapters of this life
