Innocence and Ashes

Just a whisper in the morning light,

You danced through dreams, felt so alive.

You were so young and naive,

Thought the world was bright and perfect,

Wrote your wishes on the wind,

Every star a chance you'd take,

A symphony of laughter,

Echoing through endless skies.

But the shadows crept in closer,

With their silent, cold embrace,

And the dreams began to falter,

In the harshness of their chase.

Oh, the innocence of youth

Caught in the storm of reality,

Chasing hopes that slip away

Like grains of sand through open hands.

We're riding waves of truth,

In a world that screams and burns,

But deep inside, you're still that light,

Burning bright against the night.

You learned to love and let go,

Tried to fix what couldn't bend,

Wrote your heart in every letter,

Learned the pain of every end.

Yet the fire within you,

Never let the darkness win.

And the shadows may surround you,

But they can't extinguish flames,

Every scar a mark of courage,

Ever morning light,

You danced through dreams, felt so alive.

You were so young and naive,

Thought the world was bright and perfect,

Wrote your wishes on the wind,

Every star a chance you'd take,

A symphony of laughter,

Echoing through endless skies.

But the shadows crept in closer,

With their silent, cold embrace,

And the dreams began to falter,

In the harshness of their chase.

Oh, the innocence of youth

Caught in the storm of reality,

Chasing hopes that slip away

Like grains of sand through open hands.

We're riding waves of truth,

In a world that screams and burns,

But deep inside, you're still that light,

Burning bright against the night.

You learned to love and let go,

Tried to fix what couldn't bend,

Wrote your heart in every letter,

Learned the pain of every end.

Yet the fire within you,

Never let the darkness win.

And the shadows may surround you,

But they can't extinguish flames,

Every scar a mark of courage,

Every loss, a lesson gained.

Oh, the innocence of youth

Caught in the storm of reality,

Chasing hopes that slip away

Like grains of sand through open hands.

We're riding waves of truth,

In a world that screams and burns,

But deep inside, you're still that light,

Burning bright against the night.

So embrace the journey onward,

With your heart laid bare and free,

For in every twist and turn,

There's a story waiting, just for thee.

You'll rise above the ashes,

Like a phoenix to the skies,

With each breath, a truth to find,

In the songs of goodbyes.

You were so young and naive,

But you've learned to fight, to dream.

With every shattered shadow,

You reclaim your light, your gleam.

So let the world keep changing,

You’ll keep shining, let it be,

For the brightest stars still glow,

Through the darkest canopy.
