Song Description

A tender affirmation that someone's history doesn't define who they are, or how deeply they can be loved.

Lyrics

Not Your Past

(Verse 1)
Walking through yesteryear's haze,
Echoes linger from darker days,
But each step pulls you away--
Chains can break, you'll find your way

(Verse 2)
I see the fire behind your eyes,
Wounds you hide, but still you rise
Scars just prove the strength you've gained
You're not what hurt you--you've changed

(Chorus)
You're not defined by past pain
There's sunlight after the rain
Stand tall, breathe in at last
Darling, you are not your past

(Verse 3)
The mirror shows a soul rebuilt
Lessons learned, not shame or guilt
The future waits, the gate swings wide
Take that first step--you've survived

(Bridge)
Old tales tried to hold you down
But you outgrew that haunted town
Every tear you thought would last--
You've outrun your shadowed past

(Chorus)
You're not defined by past pain
There's sunlight after the rain
Stand tall, breathe in at last
Darling, you are not your past

(Outro)
You walked through fire, you didn't burn
The hurt is real, but you've returned
The truth remains, clear and vast:
You are more. You are not your past.
