DJ Okumuro - Hero of My Story Lyrics

I used to carry shadows, heavy on my mind
Haunted by the silence you left behind
In the hustle and the grind, I tried to find my worth
But the echoes of your absence still hurt
In the noise of the day, I lost my way
But a voice within began to say
"You're not alone, you're not what they've done
There's a love inside, brighter than the sun"
I'm learning to stand tall, with the scars I've earned
Through every heartache, a lesson learned
Guided by a whisper, from deep within
Love is all around, let the healing begin
And I deserve to be loved, by the world, by myself
I'm the hero of my story, I don't need anyone else
In the work I do, I found a piece of me
In the faces and the places where I'm meant to be
But I realized something, it's not just what I give
It's the love I have inside, the life I live
In the quiet of the night, I hear the truth
That love's not just a word, it's a soothing proof
Of a journey to myself, a path that's clear
That I'm worthy of the love that's always near
I'm learning to stand tall, with the scars I've earned
Through every heartache, a lesson learned
Guided by a whisper, from deep within
Love is all around, let the healing begin
And I deserve to be loved, by the world, by myself
I'm the hero of my story, I don't need anyone else
I've let go of the fear, the doubt in my heart
Embracing the light, it's a brand new start
Soul's been guiding me to where I belong
In the arms of love, where I've been all along
Now I'm standing tall, with the scars I've earned
Through every heartache, a lesson learned
Guided by a whisper, from deep within
Love is all around, let the healing begin
And I deserve to be loved, by the world, by myself
I'm the hero of my story, I don't need anyone else
I'm the hero of my story, I'm enough
Wrapped in the power of self-love
Wrapped in the power of self-love
