Verse 1:
When the sun sets low, I feel the shadows creep,
Whispers of a time when I dared to dream deep.
Running through the streets, laughter in the air,
Memories like fireflies, a glow that felt rare.
Chorus:
But the echoes of youth, they fade away,
Lost in the silence of yesterday.
Chasing down the shadows of what might have been,
Trapped in the silence where the light used to sing.
Verse 2:
Days of innocence, chasing the thrill,
Building castles in the clouds, with passion to fill.
Now the mirror reflects a face I don't know,
Tracing lines of worry where wildflowers used to grow.
Chorus:
But the echoes of youth, they fade away,
Lost in the silence of yesterday.
Chasing down the shadows of what might have been,
Trapped in the silence, where the light used to sing.
Bridge:
Longing for the days when my heart felt so free,
Now I carry the weight of the world, not just me.
But in the stillness, I hear a call, a promise to rise,
To reclaim the lost dreams, to touch the skies.
Chorus:
But the echoes of youth, they fade away,
Lost in the silence of yesterday.
Chasing down the shadows of what might have been,
Trapped in the silence, where the light used to sing.
Outro:
Yet I hold on tight to the flicker inside,
A spark of the dreamer I will not let slide.
In the echoes of youth, I will find my way,
Rekindling the fire, come what may.
