Verse 1 Looking in the mirror, the reflection that I see, Haunted by the shadows, of who I used to be. Their cries echo in my mind, a haunting melody, Would I step into their shoes, would I set them free? Pre-Chorus The weight of the world, heavy on my soul, Would I have the strength to make them whole? Chorus Thirty-nine lashes, pain that never fades, Scars of sacrifice, in the choices that I’ve made. Would I bear the burden, would I take the fall, For someone else’s freedom, would I give my all? Verse 2 Walking through the fire, feeling every burn, The lessons of compassion, so hard to learn. Would I sacrifice my comfort, my peace of mind, To heal the wounds of others, to be truly kind? Pre-Chorus The weight of the world, heavy on my soul, Would I have the strength to make them whole? Chorus Thirty-nine lashes, pain that never fades, Scars of sacrifice, in the choices that I’ve made. Would I bear the burden, would I take the fall, For someone else’s freedom, would I give my all? Bridge In the mirror, I see my reflection, A heart torn between love and self-protection. Would I stand up, would I take the pain, Or would my selfishness always remain? Chorus Thirty-nine lashes, pain that never fades, Scars of sacrifice, in the choices that I’ve made. Would I bear the burden, would I take the fall, For someone else’s freedom, would I give my all?
