[Intro] Filed divorce, protection order in hand Started hell, didn't understand eight years gone, too much to bear Almost lost, drowning in despair [Verse1] Custody granted, not my own blood My exes kid, misunderstood Struggled a lot, darkness inside Debated being, nowhere to hide Life's cruelest test, day after day Fought the storm to have her own way [Pre-Chorus] But two small faces, looked up to me Their innocent eyes, all they could see A mother's love, a guiding light Pulling me back, from endless night They gave me strength, they gave me grace To find my way, to a better place [Chorus] She filed for divorce, it was overdue Protection order, she knew what to do Went through hell, but she pushed on through She's thriving now, a brand new view Starting to get her spark back One day at a time, no turning back [Verse2] Years of pain, now start to fade New dawn arriving, unafraid Heart begins to heal, day by day Washing the bitterness away Learned lessons hard, never to fall Standing strong, answering freedom's call [Chorus] She filed for divorce, it was overdue Protection order, she knew what to do Went through hell, but she pushed on through She's thriving now, a brand new view Starting to get her spark back One day at a time, no turning back [Bridge] Yeah, she’s thriving now, getting it back Spark rekindling, no looking back Her kids were everything, holding her tight Leading to freedom, pure as light [Chorus] She filed for divorce, it was overdue Protection order, she knew what to do Went through hell, but she pushed on through She's thriving now, a brand new view Starting to get her spark back One day at a time, no turning back [Outro] One day at a time, she finds her way Brighter horizons, come what may Yeah, she's thriving, stronger than before Her spirit shining, forevermore
