Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Piano + Breath] Yeah… If I’m being real… This year tested everything in me… But I’m still here. ⸻ [Verse 1] Yeah, twenty-five came heavy, I ain’t see it clear, Joy turned to silence early in the year. Held my newborn close while my world fell apart, One life in my arms, one gone from my heart. Hospital nights, I was praying through tears, Didn’t understand it, just faced my fears. Watched her fade, still calling on His name, Didn’t lose my faith, even through the pain. Walked out different, something changed in me, Not whole, but standing how I’m meant to be. I ain’t got answers, I just stayed present, Even in the loss, I felt His presence. ⸻ [Hook – Choir + Steady Tone] This the year that tried to break me, Test my faith and try to shake me. But the fire don’t take what’s real— It reveal what’s steel. It reveal what’s steel. ⸻ [Verse 2] Yeah, then came news I ain’t ready to hear, My young son fighting something real severe. Fear hit quick but I stood on truth, Said “God, I trust You,” that’s all I could do. Days felt long, nights felt cold, Trying to be strong while I’m losing control. Then mercy showed up right on time, Benign in the end, I seen that sign. Held him close, saw strength in his eyes, Even through pain, he still survived. Then life hit again, took more away, Lost my job, but I chose to stay. I asked “why me?” then I let that go, If pressure build me, then let it show. ⸻ [Hook – Bigger] This the year that tried to break me, Push me down and try to take me. But every tear planted deep in me— Now watch what I be. Watch what I be. ⸻ [Bridge – Soft Prayer] Lord… I don’t understand it all… But I know You carried me through it… I’m still here. ⸻ [Verse 3] Yeah, I’m marked by the things I faced, But I ain’t lose myself in the weight. Some things gone, but I’m still built, Standing firm through every tilt. This pain taught me how to see, What’s really important in front of me. I don’t move like I used to move, Got nothing to prove, just truth to live. So if it come again, I won’t fold, I done felt pressure, I done held my soul. This year tried, but it didn’t win, It built something deeper within. ⸻ [Final Hook – Choir Full] This the year that tried to break me, Tried to shake me, tried to remake me— But I stood firm, I kept my will, ‘Cause truth don’t bend. Truth stand still. This the year that made me stronger, Held my ground and lasted longer. If the fire come, I know the deal— I don’t break… I reveal. ⸻ [Outro – Piano Fade] Yeah… I’m not who I was… I’m still standing.
