Locked Out of the Light

(Verse 1)

Concrete walls and a cold steel sky

Another day just passing by

Empty pockets, heavy hands

Feels like hope slips through the sand

Every door I try is bolted tight

They keep the keys and they dim the light

I’m just a shadow they never see

But I still fight to believe in me

(Chorus)

Locked out of the light, but I won’t give in

Even when the world says I can’t win

This road is long, and the night’s so deep

But I’ll find the fire I swore to keep

Yeah, the chains are strong, but I’ll break that fight

I was born to step into the light

(Verse 2)

Every whisper says “you’ll never climb”

They built these walls to waste your time

But I see cracks where the truth bleeds through

And I’ll dig my way ‘til the sky turns blue

(Chorus)

Locked out of the light, but I won’t give in

Even when the world says I can’t win

This road is long, and the night’s so deep

But I’ll find the fire I swore to keep

Yeah, the chains are strong, but I’ll break that fight

I was born to step into the light

(Bridge – dark, powerful)

I’ve seen men fall to their knees and cry

Seen dreams buried where the lost ones lie

But I’ll carry pain like a sharpened blade

And I’ll carve a path through the mess they made

(Chorus – final, intense)

Locked out of the light, but I won’t give in

Even when the world says I can’t win

This road is long, and the night’s so deep

But I’ll find the fire I swore to keep

Yeah, the chains are strong, but I’ll break that fight

I was born to step into the light

(Outro – soft, haunting)

One day I’ll stand where the sunlight breaks

And I’ll know the pain was worth the weight
