Verse 1:
Yeah, eight years old, I packed my bag,
Thought I’d see my mom again,
But in the court, I saw my dad,
Tears in his eyes, heart feeling sad.

Chorus:
Lost in the echo, where did we go?
A kid in the shadows, searching for hope.
Promises broken, I’m all alone,
Drifting through the darkness, looking for home.

Verse 2:
They said it’s temporary, just a little while,
But every day feels like a thousand miles.
Mom didn’t show, I felt betrayed,
Sitting with my thoughts, man, I just prayed.

Chorus:
Lost in the echo, where did we go?
A kid in the shadows, searching for hope.
Promises broken, I’m all alone,
Drifting through the darkness, looking for home.

Bridge:
Foster care feels like a cage,
Trying to fight but I’m lost in rage.
Growing up too fast, lost my innocence,
Filling voids with drugs, it don’t make sense.

Verse 3:
Dad got sick while I was away,
In treatment, trying to make sense of the pain.
He left this world, never got to say,
I loved you, son, I’ll be okay.

Chorus:
Lost in the echo, where did we go?
A kid in the shadows, searching for hope.
Promises broken, I’m all alone,
Drifting through the darkness, looking for home.

Outro:
Now I’m standing at the edge of this life,
Hearing the whispers of all the strife.
But I’ll rise from the ashes, find my way,
‘Cause love never dies, it’s here to stay.
