(Inspired by “Purple Rain” by Prince)
Verse 1
Sometimes I lie awake at night,
Wonderin’ if I did it right.
A mother, a father, a daughter, a son —
Tryin’ so hard, but it’s never done.
I see the world pointin’ fingers again,
Every heart carryin’ quiet pain.
And I ask the mirror, softly and rough,
“Tell me, tell me… am I good enough?”
Chorus
I never meant to doubt myself this way,
Never meant to lose my faith today.
All I wanted was to do my best,
But the voices won’t let me rest.
Oh, these tears fall like gentle rain,
Wash away my hidden pain.
All I need is to love who I am
Not the perfect dream, just a human again.
Verse 2
We live in a world of endless views,
Everyone talkin’ — but no one hears the truth.
Critics and whispers fill the air,
But love’s what we all want to share.
So I’m learnin’ to stand in my own light,
Trusting my heart, holdin’ on tight.
I’m more than my flaws, more than the scars,
I’m doin’ my best that’s who we are.
Chorus
I never meant to doubt myself this way,
Never meant to lose my faith today.
All I wanted was to do my best,
But the voices won’t let me rest.
Oh, these tears fall like gentle rain,
Wash away my hidden pain.
All I need is to love who I am —
Not the perfect dream, just a human again.
Bridge
Let’s stop tearin’ each other down,
Let kindness wear the crown.
We’re all just tryin’ to find our way,
Through the storms and the shades of grey.
(Epic guitar solo)
Final Chorus (soft and powerful)
So I’ll hold myself in purple rain,
Let forgiveness ease the pain.
All I needed was to see —
I’m enough, and so are we
Yes yes yes we are
