I walked in shadows waiting for dawn...

When light broke, it didn’t ask why.

Just kept moving. And so did I.

The music makes the day flow

Easing the street, facing heat

Things that pull me from my feet

I black out—my soul repeat.

Fear hits from head to toe

My body crumbles, all on show

Rebuke you demons in His name

I can’t go through this again.

Sat pondering in the grey at night

How best to approach this fight

Seen too much I can't erase

Mistakes made in sacred space

I push my rhythm to the sky

Let these notes carry my cry

Even when I'm breaking, still I try

‘Cause I ain't ready to say goodbye

Placed in the dark with echoes and spark

Sometimes I pray in the depth, embark

This is a lark, or maybe the mark

Waiting for ships or systems to depart

It appeared, never left

After the system stole my breath

Now all I feel—His hand on my neck

I ain’t scared... but fear is etched.

More apprehensive as roles collide

Is this part of the trip gonna cost my pride?

I’m kinda ready, not gonna lie

But still I clutch what helps me rise

I push my rhythm to the sky

Let these notes carry my cry

Even when I'm breaking, still I try

‘Cause I ain't ready to say goodbye

Goodbye’s a storm,

Not a word.

It rains and burns,

Then disappears unheard.

I push my rhythm to the sky

Let these beats help me survive

Even when the shadows try

I rise. I rise. I rise.

I walked in shadows…

Now I dance in light.
