Version 1
Verse 1:
I see you there, adrift in blocky lands,
A thousand mobs around, no torch in hand.
You wore enchanted gear, but creepers found your soul,
Digging through the night, in search of something whole.
Pre-Chorus:
Whispers in the caves, you sought a diamond’s glow,
Hoping for a village, where crops and safety grow.
But shadows hid their secrets, no rescue in the mine,
You braved the darkest dungeons, forever chasing time.
Chorus:
Shadows to Strongholds
Oh, my younger self, I see you now,
The strength it took to keep building somehow.
Shadows to Strongholds
Through every fall and every broken tool,
You mined the depths, you made me whole.
Shadows to Strongholds
Verse 2:
You wandered through the biomes vast and wild,
Clutching at your sword, a lost and weary child.
Your heart yearned for a friend, a wolf to keep you near,
But only phantoms followed, only zombies here.
Pre-Chorus:
Whispers in the wind, you sought a mountain’s peak,
Hoping for a friendly mob, to find the peace you seek.
But shadows hid their secrets, no rescue in the dark,
You braved the blazing Nether, forever holding spark.
Chorus:
Bridge:
I am grateful for your fight, for the mobs you didn’t fear,
For the battles fought in strongholds, your armor kept me clear.
You taught me how to rise, from lava’s fiery flame,
You gave me this new world, you turned loss into gain.
Chorus:
Outro:
Now I’m standing at the End, because of all you gave,
Your courage is my compass, your strength I’ll always save.
Thank you for the scars, for the blocks that made me bold,
You are my hero, the keeper of my gold.
