Better Than Before

Took a lot of wrong to find what's right. Been through shadows, lost the light. Tried to drown in what I knew, But came back up stronger too. People talk like they all see clear, But they weren't there, they ain't been near. I learned the blues from the kitchen floor and Stood up better than before. Better than before, I walked that line. Head held high, pain refined. Took the cracks, made 'em shine. I'm the fire you can't define. Didn't need a saving grace, Just some space to find my pace. Now I dance on every scar with the rhythm Made of who we are. They say pain can make you cold, But I found gold in what I hold. All my breaks became my song. Singing louder, burning strong. Better than before, I walked that line. Head held high, pain refined. Took the cracks, made 'em shine. I'm the fire you can't define. No more fear behind the door. Just a woman who knows her core. Got that rhythm in my soul. I came back whole, Better than before.
