My dad

(Verse 1) Locked up behind those bars, a pain that cuts so deep, My dad's in prison, a story I gotta speak, Growing up without him, the void it leaves behind, But I'ma rise above it, let my spirit shine. I remember those visits, the tears in my mother's eyes, Hugging him tightly, trying to disguise the cries, But through the pain, I found strength, and I found my way, I refuse to let this situation define my days. (Chorus) Yeah, my dad's in prison, but I won't let it define me, I'ma break these chains, rise up, and set my soul free, Gotta stay strong, keep pushing through the strife, Even in the darkest times, I'ma find my light. (Verse 2) I was just a young kid, couldn't understand the weight, The choices he made, the consequences that await, But I refuse to be a victim, won't let my dreams fade, I'ma rise above the circumstances, make my own way. They say blood's thicker than water, that bond won't be severed, Even in separation, our love is forever, Writing letters, late-night calls, he's always on my mind, His presence might be absent, but his love I always find. (Chorus) Yeah, my dad's in prison, but I won't let it define me, I'ma break these chains, rise up, and set my soul free, Gotta stay strong, keep pushing through the strife, Even in the darkest times, I'ma find my light. (Verse 3) Life ain't always fair, it's a journey we must face, But I won't let resentment or anger take its place, I'ma learn from his mistakes, grow wiser every day, Make him proud when he returns, in every single way. I won't let negativity consume my soul, Gonna rise above, let my true colors unfold, His absence made me stronger, it lit a fire within, I'll chase my dreams relentlessly, never let them dim. (Chorus) Yeah, my dad's in prison, but I won't let it define me, I'ma break these chains, rise up, and set my soul free, Gotta stay strong, keep pushing through the strife, Even in the darkest times, I'ma find my light. (Outro) To all the kids with dads in prison, hear my voice, You're not alone, you have a choice, Choose resilience, choose strength, and choose to rise, No matter the obstacles, reach for the skies.
