Lyrics
[verse]
Grew up counting pennies, dreaming something more
Sleeping on the floor but staring at the door
Told myself I'd make it, told myself I'd rise
Now I'm looking back with grateful, tired eyes
[chorus]
This is sweet, this is everything I dreamed
Every hard day led me here, or so it seems
This is sweet, made it out the struggle strong
This is for the ones who told me I was wrong
[verse]
Momma said the sun would shine on me one day
Kept that in my pocket through the hardest way
Now I'm living proof that patience finds a path
Every closed door only fueled my aftermath
[chorus]
This is sweet, this is everything I dreamed
Every hard day led me here, or so it seems
This is sweet, made it out the struggle strong
This is for the ones who told me I was wrong
[bridge]
Tender sample playing, memories replay
Every single struggle brought me to today
Grateful for the journey, grateful for the pain
It taught me how to blossom after all that rain
[chorus]
This is sweet, this is everything I dreamed
Every hard day led me here, or so it seems
This is sweet, made it out the struggle strong
This is for the ones who told me I was wrong
