Through the Shadows
Emily Carter

Verse 1:
In the morning light, I rise from bed,
But the weight of the world feels heavy on my head.
Once I guided minds, now I’m lost in pain,
Every sharp pang echoes like a haunting refrain.

Chorus:
Through the shadows, I’m searching for the light,
A mother and a teacher, fighting day and night.
The worries weigh me down, like clouds that never part,
But I’ll hold my head high, I won’t break my heart.

Verse 2:
The tiny hands that reach for me need my touch,
But the struggle within makes it all feel too much.
Letters from the doctor, fears I can't ignore,
Chasing after dreams that feel out of reach for sure.

Chorus:
Through the shadows, I’m searching for the light,
A mother and a teacher, fighting day and night.
The worries weigh me down, like clouds that never part,
But I’ll hold my head high, I won’t break my heart.

Bridge:
Tears fall like rain, in the silence of my room,
I’m a warrior in stillness, facing impending doom.
Each lesson I taught still echoes in my mind,
A woman strong and loving, in the chaos, I must find.

Chorus:
Through the shadows, I’m searching for the light,
A mother and a teacher, fighting day and night.
The worries weigh me down, like clouds that never part,
But I’ll hold my head high, I won’t break my heart.

Outro:
So I breathe in deep, take it day by day,
Through every storm that comes, I’ll find my way.
A love that’s everlasting, a resilience inside,
Through the shadows, my spirit will never hide.
