[Intro]
Verse 1
News came heavy in the late-night glow
Future on pause but the clock won’t slow
She talkin’ dreams, not yesterday sounds
Wants big stages, wants lights downtown
If you block the road, she keep it movin’
No single player stoppin’ what’s brewin’
I say breathe, let me show you the map
[Bridge]
Break it down—heartbeat loud
Creation don’t ask permission now
No matter the form, no matter the face
I’ll call it rhythm, I’ll call it faith
Chorus
I don’t need it all, just room to grow
Plant the spark, let the future show
What we leave behind is the flame we feed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
Verse 2
I don’t ask loud, I don’t complain
I let silence stretch while I play my game
Watching choices multiply
Standing still while the roots run wide
[Bridge]
Break it down—heartbeat loud
Creation don’t ask permission now
No matter the form, no matter the face
I’ll call it rhythm, I’ll call it faith
Verse 3
From day one I been built to last
Never chased shadows, never played past
When the curtain falls, remember the name
Not the noise—but what remains
⸻
Chorus
I don’t need it all, just room to grow
Plant the spark, let the future show
What we leave behind is the flame we feed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
⸻
Bridge
Break it down—heartbeat loud
Creation don’t ask permission now
No matter the form, no matter the face
I’ll call it rhythm, I’ll call it faith
⸻
Outro
Born of hope, born of soul
Call it noise, call it rock and roll
If tomorrow breathes tonight
I’ll name it sound, I’ll name it life
If tomorrow breathes tonight
I’ll name it sound, I’ll name it life
What we leave behind is the flame we feed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
What we leave behind is the flame we feed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
That’s the sound, that’s the truth, that’s the seed
