Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was born where the heat bends air Where sandals sink in a sea of sand They said I’d wear a golden crown But gold feels heavy in my hands They carved my name in temple stone Told me the sky would wait on me I hide my face in linen folds Pretend I’m small enough to leave [Chorus] I am the daughter of Ra’s light But I still flinch when the day gets bright Everyone prays for a sign from above I’m just a girl who is scared of their love How do you carry a world so wide When you can barely stand your own shine [Verse 2] He lifts the sun with an open palm Says “Child This fire is yours someday” I trace the shadows around my feet Wish I could trade his dawn for gray The priests all bow like falling reeds Their eyes burn hope right through my skin They sing of mercy War And storms I write “I’m tired” in the dust again [Chorus] I am the daughter of Ra’s light But I still flinch when the day gets bright Everyone prays for a sign from above I’m just a girl who is scared of their love How do you carry a world so wide When you can barely stand your own shine [Bridge] What if I’m quiet when they need thunder (oh) What if I break where he would bend What if I let the sunset slip And this whole burning world goes dim [Chorus] I am the daughter of Ra’s light Still I am learning to face the bright Everyone kneels Waiting upturned eyes I’m just a voice trembling in the sky Maybe I’ll carry a piece Not all Maybe I’ll answer a smaller call [Outro] Father Keep raising your faithful sun I’ll walk the edge where the long shadows run If I ever glow Let it be enough For one lost heart that is scared of this love

folk, Indie-folk emo ballad with female vocals, close-mic’d and fragile at first. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft upright bass, subtle shaker and brushed snare entering on the first chorus. Verses stay intimate and confessional; chorus opens with airy harmonies and a gentle organ pad blooming underneath. Bridge leans into raw vocal cracks and reverb swells, then falls back to a hushed final chorus and a single guitar to end., world, emo
