I've walked a path of broken dreams

Chased shadows in the in-between

I hurt, I healed, I wore the blame

Now I rise to teach through my shame

There was a time I thought I knew

Played the game, but I lost the truth

Now I see the cost of pride

And the pain I caused can't be denied

So, I'll share my scars, my story's light

To guide the lost through their darkest night

If they can learn from the pain I knew

They'll find the strength to break through

This is my gift, this is my plea

Learn from the man I used to be

Every lie I spoke, every bridge I burned

Every love I lost, every lesson learned

I see their faces in my dreams

Echoes of the past that still redeem

I hurt the ones who gave me care

But now I stand, no longer scared

To speak the truth, to light the way

So others won't repeat my days

So, I'll share my scars, my story's light

To guide the lost through their darkest night

If they can learn from the pain I knew

They'll find the strength to break through

This is my gift, this is my plea

Learn from the man I used to be

Karma came knocking, and I paid my dues

Now I share the wisdom from the life I chose

To the ones out there with hearts like mine

Don't wait too long to find your time

The road's not easy, but it's worth the pain

To rise again, to break the chain

If my story saves just one lost soul

Then the price I paid was worth it all

So, I'll share my scars, my story's light

To guide the lost through their darkest night

If they can learn from the pain I knew

They'll find the strength to break through

This is my gift, this is my plea

Learn from the man I used to be

I'm just a mirror, reflecting the truth

A voice for the ones searching for proof

Take my lessons, hold them tight

And walk your path toward the light
