Making a difference

Soft whispers in the dark, I'm just a shadow passing by

Quiet voice, unseen star, I’ve been hiding behind the sky

Day after day, I fade away, in the background’s gentle glow

Listening close, I’m the host to stories only I seem to know

No spotlight, no applause, I’m the steady silent friend

Always there, hands in the air, but you'll never see me bend

I give my all, stand tall and small, never asking for more in return

My quiet call, a hidden wall, it’s my turn to finally burn

I’ve been the shadow in your light, the whisper in the silence tonight

Always the one in the background, holding everything, never a sound

Tonight I’ll step into the dawn, break the chains of being gone

No more listening in vain, I’ll shout out, I won’t be unseen again

Piano softly plays my plea, melodies of who I used to be

No more hiding in the shade, I’m breaking free, I won’t be afraid

Now I rise, a brighter sun, no longer just someone’s run

In my voice, I find my choice, standing tall, I’ve found my voice
