Didn’t wanna be a soldier Wanted to be a child Fall in love with the world Feel alive Forced to be a hero When I was left behind Grew up in an instant to survive “It’s a miracle” The crowd all screams Everyones so proud of me But I’m a graveyard Oh I’m in deep Miss the person I never got to be Never got to be wild like the horses Naive like a child Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking My feet were in the grass Dancing through the trees I saw it when heaven came falling, falling Cried at cracks of thunder Saw the flood appear Swallowed everything I held near Should’ve been wild like the horses But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt 6 feet below me Never saw it coming Now I can’t relax I’m all hyper-vigilance Under attack Cuz I know a secret my friends don’t understand Safety’s an illusion Fate is all chance “It’s a miracle” The crowd all screams Everyones so proud of me But I’m a graveyard Oh I’m in deep Miss the person I never got to be Never got to be wild like the horses Naive like a child Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking My feet were in the grass Dancing through the trees I saw it when heaven came falling, falling Cried at cracks of thunder Saw the flood appear Swallowed everything I held near Should’ve been wild like the horses But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt 6 feet below me I was way too young I was way too young, way too I was way too young I was way too young, way too How could you be gone? How could you be gone, you be How could you be gone? How could you be gone, you be When I close my eyes I still feel the grass, feel the sun Oh wild horses, how you run
I know this is a song of childhood trauma, but it feels like a song that represents PTSD as well. It is definitely a healing song. So beautiful and makes people feel like they are not alone. Thank you.
I know this song is about childhood traumas, but tbh it hits me hard too as someone that lost so much of my life from a chronic illness and went through a bunch of surgeries just to save my life... Yeah. "It's a miracle. Everyone's so proud of me, BUT I'M A GRAVEYARD... miss the person I never got to be". Damn it hits hard. Getting congratulated for "being strong" as if there was any other choice... Love this song, keep going girl, I look forward to more from you!
Me too. I became ill with psychosis starting in middle school and finally started to heal 2nd year of high school. I feel like I missed out on so much. Wasn’t able to do things like stay up late or watch scary movies ect. I wondered what sort of teenager hood I would have had if I didn’t become ill
I feel every word to this, cried listening to it. I’m still on my healing journey. That little girl is still in us ladies. Hear her, heal her. ❤️💕 you got this ✨
I have seldom found a song I relate so deeply to… I’ve spent my whole 21 years fighting when I never asked for this. Never wanted it. I’ve been fighting since I was born. And here I am, still fighting because my life has yet again imploded. Calm isn’t something I understand, in fact it scares me because I just wonder when it’ll all end again…
This song popped up on my Spotify and I was shocked when I came here and saw how few views there are! I want you to know this song is fantastic and I’m going to be listing to it on loop on youtube and spotify for a while! 💜💜💜
This song hits so hard… I was bullied psychologically and had parts of my childhood stolen. I had to grow up, I had to protect myself… I didn’t understand that I was being brown down emotionally and psychologically, and that I was being bullied. Because bullying… all that I’d seen from the media was a bigger kid picking on you because you’re small and doing physical violence against someone weaker. Not… what I experienced. Not to mention feeling like you’re the only adult in a room of people that are supposed to be adults and helping you… it’s horrible.
I’ve never found a song that I’ve related to so damn much in my life 💔😭❤️ this is just so accurate in so many ways and I feel like she’s definitely telling my story through this song
This was released on my birthday and honestly was a perfect song that hit me hard I was the one that had to raise my family even while I was the youngest I was way too young and just wanted to be a child
Faydra Cyrus, legacy of Aphrodite and daughter of Apollo, or so they thought, when her friend Percy Jackson died before his 16th birthday, Apollo came forward and confessed that he falsely claimed her as Helios begged him too as he faded. When the war ends and she stands victorious, she spends the last hours of her 16th screaming in the abandoned ruins of her true father's temple using the gifts of the god that claimed her for the war and to cheat the prophecy
I honestly thought I was healed enough but this brought some things I've realized that still needs a little healing❤️🩹 and this song is amazing I found it on tiktok and it hit me in my soul 💖
Hits my soul. Its like the anthem for those who lost their childhoods, but where congratulated for surviving as if there was any other choice.
💯💯💯 Absolutely! 💯💯💯
This
"Miss the person I never got to be " This line open old wound 🥺💔
Same!
Same
Same😢
"Grew up in an instant, TO SURVIVE" hits different when you realise how much trauma you suffered though as a child
Didn’t wanna be a soldier
Wanted to be a child
Fall in love with the world
Feel alive
Forced to be a hero
When I was left behind
Grew up in an instant to survive
“It’s a miracle”
The crowd all screams
Everyones so proud of me
But I’m a graveyard
Oh I’m in deep
Miss the person I never got to be
Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling
Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should’ve been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt 6 feet below me
Never saw it coming
Now I can’t relax
I’m all hyper-vigilance
Under attack
Cuz I know a secret my friends don’t understand
Safety’s an illusion
Fate is all chance
“It’s a miracle”
The crowd all screams
Everyones so proud of me
But I’m a graveyard
Oh I’m in deep
Miss the person I never got to be
Never got to be wild like the horses
Naive like a child
Horrors of the world came knocking, knocking
My feet were in the grass
Dancing through the trees
I saw it when heaven came falling, falling
Cried at cracks of thunder
Saw the flood appear
Swallowed everything I held near
Should’ve been wild like the horses
But I had to leave my childhood in the dirt 6 feet below me
I was way too young
I was way too young, way too
I was way too young
I was way too young, way too
How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be
How could you be gone?
How could you be gone, you be
When I close my eyes
I still feel the grass, feel the sun
Oh wild horses, how you run
Thank you!
Should be a pinned comment this was helpful!
Thank you!!
Omg .... Cant help why i ended like this 😭
I know this is a song of childhood trauma, but it feels like a song that represents PTSD as well. It is definitely a healing song. So beautiful and makes people feel like they are not alone. Thank you.
I absolutely love this song! My childhood was ripped from me
Me too
I grew up in a Instant to Survive is my favorite part
I wish this song was around when I was younger 🥲
Me too
Still! Use it to heal!! We are powerful!!
"You're so mature for your age". Thanks, I didn't have a choice
I’ve played this song over and over again since its release. It’s really been great as I begin my journey towards healing ❤️🩹
Yeah
Or when people say you have an old soul and the truth is you were forced to grow up at a young age
Or that you're so mature for your age and you wore that like a badge of honor until you realized years later it was the trauma that made you that way.
Yes beautiful!! Thank you!!! Took 33 years to hear the song that made my life make since❤❤❤
People who have never gone through this will never understand how hard it is to forget than forgive 😢

I found this song through Insta, where it is used for a character from a book. I'm in love
My birthday is next week and birthdays are the hardest parts of her being gone. I needed to hear this song today ❤️ beautiful song
Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day are all so hard. You’re not alone ❤
This song popped up on my Spotify and I was shocked when I came here and saw how few views there are! I want you to know this song is fantastic and I’m going to be listing to it on loop on youtube and spotify for a while! 💜💜💜

Not me finding this when I needed it 😂
Damn. I feel this, deep in my bones.
Man I can’t wait for someone to make an animatic of this song it’s gonna hit so hard
Forced to be a soldier 💔 hit so hard

The pain in your voice.... the raw emotions... beautiful. My anthem!
You truly did hit the nail on the head with this song. I buried my childhood. As I raise my daughter I learn you can’t bury it forever.
Thank you❤
I know I'm going to be listening on repeat from now on ❤
This song is just so perfect ! It resonate so deep inside my soul!
Omg. What a music video! ❤️❤️❤️
Dang girl. Absolutely phenomenal.
This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, I'm surprised more people haven't heard of it
I love this song, I was abused by my step father and my bio mother, never knew about bio father until after he passed, this hits
Thank you Grace. I needed to hear a song like this. You have such a beautiful and powerful voice that matches your beautiful powerful soul.❤
Indeed a masterpiece 🥺

I’ve never loved a song… so much 😭
The ending feels like that one scene where Robin Williams is telling Matt Damon that it wasn't his fault over and over.
Never thought a song would sum up me losing my childhood to trauma
