Verse 1:
Every shadow whispers doubt,
Painting fears in muted shades,
I once believed I’d run without,
Chasing dreams that softly fade.

Chorus:
But in the echoes, I find my sound,
A melody that lifts me off the ground,
No more chains, I break away,
Reclaiming joy in every note I play.

Verse 2:
The weight of judgment weighs so deep,
A silent cry beneath the stars,
Yet here I stand, no longer meek,
Embracing every bruise and scar.

Chorus:
For in the echoes, I find my sound,
A melody that lifts me off the ground,
No more chains, I break away,
Reclaiming joy in every note I play.

Bridge:
Oh, the colors, they collide,
Where fear once stood, love resides,
I close my eyes, let the music guide,
In this sacred space, I will confide.

Chorus:
In every heartbeat, I feel alive,
This journey’s mine; here I will thrive,
With every challenge, I boldly say,
I wouldn’t trade this art for anything today.

Outro:
So let the symphony play on,
In every crevice, I belong,
Reclaiming joy through endless nights,
Forever bound in music’s light.
