Forged through the fire and the rain
Faced with the worst, I will remain
I've lived the worst that I could take
That life could raise against my fate
And yet, again I rose to face
That solemn space with my name engraved
Through knives instead of beds of peace
Through raging screams plaguing my head
I walked revived, look sharp, you'll see
Hardships turned me into something great
Forged through the fire and the rain
Through this world's loathing and disdain
Every step that I've taken
Shaped me through laughter and pain
So now faced with the worst, I will remain
I cried me a river, all the pain remains
I destroyed my liver, hope it all goes away
But it all stays the same, I refused to make a change
Old habit's hard to break, Am I the one to blame?
It took me so long to recover
Why's it so hard for a brother
Just to go my way
Had to get my thoughts out the gutter
Had to find God
Thought God didn't love us, OK
But I was blessed with a brother
Blessed with a lover
Blessed with a family I love like no other
This fire in me got much more to recover
I rise like the phoenix and fly right above ya
Forged through the fire and the rain
Through this world's loathing and disdain
Every step that I've taken
Shaped me through laughter and pain
So now faced with the worst, I will remain
