Felicia

Look at the woman looking back at me

Felicia, you survived the heavy seas

Carrying the weight of the world on your spine

Still making sure everybody else was fine

You got a soft heart wrapped in a warrior's soul

Giving your strength just to make others whole

But even a fighter needs time to heal

To face down the pain and learn how to feel

Seventeen years walking through the night

But I finally stepped into the light

October seventh, twenty-twenty-four

I told the shadows they can't hold me anymore

I'll never stop fighting, I'll never give in

This is the chapter where my life begins

I look at the beautiful gifts I was given

Five beating hearts are the reason I'm living

I remember holding each one in my arms

Swearing to protect them and keep them from harm

Through all of the struggles and all of the tears

They were the angels who anchored my years

Now I'm standing up tall for the mother they see

And the woman I was always destined to be

Seventeen years walking through the night

But I finally stepped into the light

October seventh, twenty-twenty-four

I told the shadows they can't hold me anymore

I'll never stop fighting, I'll never give in

This is the chapter where my life begins

The road was so broken, the mountain was steep

But I made a promise that I'm gonna keep

To the warrior inside, to the air that I breathe

There's a beautiful life if I just believe

I'm breaking the chains, I'm taking it back

Staying right here on this beautiful track

After seventeen years walking through the night

I am standing right here in the light

October seventh, twenty-twenty-four

The past isn't holding me down anymore

I'll never stop fighting, I'll never give in

Felicia, this is where the better life begins
