Lyrics
Intro - melancholic atmosphere, 25-35 sec
Verse 1
I’ve been down this road a hundred times before
Chasing fears on a cold and empty floor
Every promise that I made just turned to dust
Every dream I held so tight betrayed my trust
But something in your eyes keeps pulling me back in
A quiet voice inside says maybe we can win
The scars are deep but maybe they can heal
If I let myself believe in what I feel
Pre-Chorus - short rising vocal line with piano swells
The night is long but morning always breaks
So, tell me once again what’s really make
Chorus – full band entry with orchestral strings
The morning light still whispers hope anew
Your voice still cuts the darkness straight on through
Your hand in mine reminds me why we stay
We make another stand come what may
Through thunder rolling heavy in the sky
Even when the pain is asking why
In silence I can hear our story call
Your words remind me we can have it all
Solo Piano – emotional grand piano solo , 35-45 sec
Verse 2
We’ve watched the seasons change and lovers come and go
Seen the river rise and watched the wild winds blow
I’ve carried regrets like stones inside my chest
But every time I look at you I find my rest
The world keeps turning, pulling us apart
Yet here we are still fighting with an open heart
The past is written but the future’s ours to claim
If we just believe it we can fan the flame
Bridge - stripped back to piano
So, hold on tight and let the old wounds mend
This story isn’t over, it’s only just begun my friend
Final Chorus – bigger, more powerful with layered harmonies
The morning light still whispers hope anew
Your voice still cuts the darkness straight on through
Your hand in mine reminds me why we stay
We make another stand come what may
Through thunder rolling heavy in the sky
Even when the pain is asking why
In silence I can hear our story call
Your words remind me we can have it all
Outro – fading grand piano + soft vocal harmonies
It's not my time…
It's not my time…
Yeah, I believe it…
It's not my time…
