[Intro – 10s, quiet dawn] Hero (soft): Sun looks different after a long night. Isaiah: Yeah… like it finally believes in us. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Isaiah | 30s] Streets are breathing, windows open wide, Kids chalk hope on the cracks outside, I hear tomorrow in the morning trains, City humming through the pain. You stood back up when the lights went low, Showed me what courage really knows, If this is where our paths divide— Just know your shadow saved my life. Hero (spoken): You don’t need my shadow anymore. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – back & forth | 12s] Hero: You’re ready now. Isaiah: Because you stayed. Hero: Because you listened. Isaiah: Because you showed the way. ⸻ [Chorus – together | 25s] Both: The future’s bright, I can see it clear, Built on choices, not on fear, From borrowed hope to earned belief, We turned the page, we found our feet. The future’s bright—let the city know, What we protected gets to grow, If paths split now, it’s not goodbye— It’s just the road learning how to rise. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Hero | 30s] I’ve carried capes and scars too long, Every win still rang like wrong, But you stayed human in the flame, Didn’t trade your soul for fame. They’ll look to you when nights get hard, You don’t need myths to guard the dark, I’ll leave knowing the truth is strong— The city’s safe when you move on. Isaiah (quiet): I wish you’d stay. Hero: I am… Just farther out. ⸻ [Bridge – promise | 15s] Hero: If the dark comes back someday— Isaiah: I won’t face it afraid. Hero: Good. Then my work’s done. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Isaiah | 25s] Isaiah: The future’s bright, I’ll hold the line, Block by block, day by time, No throne to take, no mask to wear, Just showing up—always there. The future’s bright, hear me say— I’m not going anywhere. ⸻ [Outro – separation | 10s] (Footsteps fade) Hero: Take care of them. Isaiah: Always. ⸻ [Postlude – Villain Alone | 20s] (Cold cell, distant echo) Villain (low, smiling): They celebrate dawn like it’s permanent… Hope always does. Cities forget. Legends leave. And when the lights dim again— I’ll be back. ⸻ [End – 5s, quiet resolve] (Wind through the city) Isaiah (echoing): We’ll be ready.

Until Next Time
