## Verse 1
I walked into a night, it promised fun and light,
But fate had darker plans for me in sight,
A car hit me hard, shattered my bones,
Left me questioning, left me alone.
## Pre-Chorus
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
## Chorus
Are these trials meant to break me?
No, they harden my will to survive,
Every scar, every broken dream,
They carve the strength to stay alive.
## Verse 2
Outside a club, I saw the pain unfold,
A girl in tears, a boy out of control,
Stepped in to save her, took the beating instead,
Crushed and bruised, but I wasn’t dead.
## Pre-Chorus
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
## Chorus
Are these trials meant to break me?
No, they harden my will to survive,
Every scar, every broken dream,
They carve the strength to stay alive.
## Bridge
In the face of darkness, I find my light,
Every wound a chapter in this fight,
I rise from the ashes, with unyielding might,
These trials are my testament, my right.
## Chorus
Are these trials meant to break me?
No, they harden my will to survive,
Every scar, every broken dream,
They carve the strength to stay alive.
## Outro
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
No matter what, I will survive,
With every trial, I come alive.

Song about my life events.
One time I went to a party only to get intentionally hit by a car which broke my leg.
Another I showed up outside a club and saw a couple fighting. Boyfriend was on drugs and being abusive so I stepped in to stop it, but got my ass kicked.
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these trails?
Are these trials meant to break me
No, they harden my will to survive?
