Title:

“Shattered Mirrors”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am Em G D
Lost in the shadows of the forgotten lies,
Am Em G D
Broken shards reflecting the unanswered cries,
Am Em G D
Shattered mirrors of a thousand tries,
Am Em G D
In the chaos, our hope never dies.

(Chorus)
C G Am F
We’re the forgotten, we’re the survivors,
C G Am F
Born in the fire, raised in the wild,
C G Am F
In our reflections, see the fighters,
C G Am F
In shattered mirrors, we stand united.

(Verse 2)
Am Em G D
In the ashes, we find our light,
Am Em G D
In the darkness, we continue to fight,
Am Em G D
Our reflections may not always be right,
Am Em G D
But in shattered mirrors, we find our might.

(Repeat Chorus)

(End)
C G Am F
In the shattered, we’re the brightest,
C G Am F
In the lost, we find the rightest,
C G Am F
In the chaos, we stand the firmest,
C G Am F
In shattered mirrors, we’re the truest.
