[Intro – whispered, layered echo FX]
(You can’t… they won’t…)
Stand up… breathe in…
---
[Verse 1]
They tried to dim your flame
Told you to play their game
But your silence held a scream
And your truth still dared to dream
They whispered doubt in your ear
Tried to feed you all their fear
But you held your breath, stood tall
Didn’t break, you’ve seen it all
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You bent, but never fell
Your fire too loud to quell
Their shadows fade, you're bright
They won’t take your light
---
[Chorus]
You can not and must not
Let them take your soul
They’ll try to break you
But you’re still whole
You can not and must not
Fall into their fight
This is your life, your light
Don’t let them dim it tonight
---
[Instrumental Break – dreamy pads, arpeggiated synths]
(Breathe in… breathe out…)
---
[Verse 2]
They hate what they don’t know
But you don’t owe them your glow
Every scar, a quiet crown
Every tear, it won’t drown
They can call you every name
But you’re more than all their shame
Let the silence be your shield
Your heart’s a sword you wield
---
[Pre-Chorus]
The fire’s yours to burn
Let the world twist and turn
They’ll never own your truth
That power lives in you
---
[Chorus]
You can not and must not
Let them steal your grace
They’ll try to break you
But you’ve found your place
You can not and must not
Let them write your fate
You are the storm, not the hate
---
[Instrumental Break – layered synth swell, no vocals]
---
[Bridge – soft and reflective]
Let the walls fall, let fear fade
They can’t take what they never made
You are your own design
Unbroken, divine
---
[Final Chorus – full layered harmony]
You can not and must not
Let them take your soul
They’ll try to break you
But you’re in control
You can not and must not
Fall into their game
You are more than their pain
---
[Instrumental Break – dreamy pads, arpeggiated synths]
(Breathe in… breathe out…)
Ohhhhh whoahhh yeahhh
[Outro – gentle synth fade]
(Still here…)
(Still shining…)
Dayzzz
