05 - If it Hurt, It Mattered

[Verse 1]
When my mom passed, the weight came down,
Had to rise up, had to stand my ground.
Took the hard road, found the strength inside,
Met some of the best, learned how to fight.
The pain opened my eyes to see,
Sometimes struggle sets your soul free.

[Chorus]
If it hurt, it mattered, made me who I am,
Taught me to rise when I couldn’t stand.
In the hardest moments, I found my way,
The pain taught me what’s worth the fight today.
If it hurt, it mattered, now I see,
Every scar, every tear, made me free.

[Verse 2]
When my father-in-law left this world,
I held her close, my heart unfurled.
I learned to love her in a deeper way,
Cherish each moment, come what may.
Then her brother left, and I came to give,
Sacrificial love, that’s how we live.

[Chorus]
If it hurt, it mattered, made me who I am,
Taught me to rise when I couldn’t stand.
In the hardest moments, I found my way,
The pain taught me what’s worth the fight today.
If it hurt, it mattered, now I see,
Every scar, every tear, made me free.

[Bridge]
Every loss taught me how to grow,
How to love deeper, how to let go.
The ache of the past gave me strength to fight,
In every tear, a reason to rise.

[Final Chorus]
If it hurt, it mattered, made me who I am,
Taught me to rise when I couldn’t stand.
In the hardest moments, I found my way,
The pain taught me what’s worth the fight today.
If it hurt, it mattered, now I see,
Every scar, every tear, made me free.

[Outro]
If it hurt, it mattered, made me who I am...
