"Only For A Moment" was born from one of the darkest chapters of my life. I was caught in a toxic relationship—one where control, manipulation, and emotional warfare were constant. It felt like I was fighting both the man and the devil behind him. He believed he had power over me. And for a while, maybe he did.
But it was only for a moment.
This song is my testimony of survival. It’s about reclaiming my strength, finding my voice, and realizing that no one—no darkness, no person—gets to define my worth or my future. I didn’t just walk away… I rose higher.
This is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped, silenced, or small. You may bend. You may break. But you can rise—and when you do, you rise stronger.

[Verse 1]
You thought I wouldn’t leave
Thought you took the fight from me
Said I’d never shine again
But watch me rise, watch me breathe
You dimmed my light for a moment
Tried to hold me in the dark
But I found strength inside the fire
And it reignited my spark
[Pre-Chorus]
I made it
I changed it
Rewrote every line
Prayer pulled me through it
Built my strength over time
[Chorus]
You stole my light—
But only for a moment in time
You made me fight
And that’s how I found my life
I stood up
Took notes
Turned the pain into power somehow
Look how bright I am now
(Only for a moment…)
[Verse 2]
You thought my silence meant defeat
But I was rising on my knees
With every tear, I grew a spine
Now your voice can’t bury me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I faced it
Erased it
Rebuilt from the ground
With mercy and fire
Yeah, I’m standing proud
[Chorus]
You stole my light—
But only for a moment in time
You made me fight
And now this victory’s mine
I stood up
Wrote hope
On the pages of my vow
Look how bright I am now (Only for a moment…)
[Bridge]
You’ll never steal this fire again
I’m more than what I lived back then
This voice, this soul, this heart that pounds—
It’s louder than your memory now
[Final Chorus]
You took my light—
But I took it back in time
You made me fight
Now I rise, now I shine
I stood up
Took notes
Turned the hurt into heaven somehow
Look how bright I am now
It was only for a moment… but I’m lit for life now.
