Living in Pain (Cover)

This song is the first breath after holding it for years.
It’s the feeling of stepping into the sun not because anyone gave you permission — but because you finally stopped waiting for it.
It’s a song for the late bloomers, the quiet ones, the ones who thought maybe they’d just stay small forever.
It doesn’t come in swinging — it comes in glowing: slow, steady, unstoppable.
It says: “You don’t have to fight to be here. You just have to show up. And shine, exactly as you are.”

It’s a soft rebellion, a sunrise anthem — not about being loud, but being undeniable.
Because once you step into your light, no one gets to dim it again.
