At the start of beauty school I took a fall and broke two bones in my knee. Barely standing, every step hurting, asking why me and why now.
But I wiped my tears and I didn't back down. I showed up for six months straight, in pain, without fail — and I made it to graduation. "I Made It" is for everyone hurting on the inside who shows up anyway.
From the lyric sheet
Two bones broke, I was barely standing
Every step hurt, didn't go as planned
Looking all around like "why me now?"
But I wiped my tears, I ain't backing down
They don't see what I carry inside
Every silent tear that I hide
I was hurting, but I showed up anyway
Yeah, I showed up anyway.
✎ A note to journal on
What are you showing up for in pain right now? Picture the version of you on the other side of it.
Have a story that needs a song?
Some stories are too deep for ordinary words. I help turn personal stories, testimonies, love stories, grief journeys, family memories, and life experiences into custom songs.
