[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…
