This Is The Time I Wished

[Verse 1]
Time has never been the same
Since I found that quiet fire inside me
I was standing in the storm
But my heart went still
Went steady
Left my shadow at the door
All those tangled voices fading
Took one breath and then one more
And the world slowed down
Reshaping
[Chorus]
This is the time I wished
When I walked away and never looked back
Stones on my way melt to a slide
And I rise
I rise
I rise
This is the time I wished
Where the ground is firm
But I feel light
I am done with fear and with the past
And I shine
I shine at last
[Verse 2]
Every step I used to fear
Turned to silver dust beneath me
All the weight I used to wear
Slipped like water from my shoulders
I don’t need an easy road
I just need this peace within me
Now my story’s being told
In the calm that used to scare me
[Chorus]
This is the time I wished
When I walked away and never looked back
Stones on my way melt to a slide
And I rise
I rise
I rise
This is the time I wished
Where the ground is firm
But I feel light
I am done with fear and with the past
And I shine
I shine at last
[Bridge]
Once I begged the days to change
Now I’m changing as they pass (ohh)
Once I tried to run from pain
Now I thank it as it cracks my glass
[Chorus]
This is the time I wished
When I walked away and never looked back
Stones on my way melt to a slide
And I rise
I rise
I rise
This is the time I wished
Where the ground is firm
But I feel light
I am home inside this endless breath
And I shine
I shine at last

pop, Cinematic pop-opera ballad with soaring strings, intimate piano, and a slow-build orchestra that swells into a big, anthemic chorus; male vocals start soft and speech-like, then rise into open, vibrato-rich high notes. Subtle choir doubles the hook in the choruses, timpani and cymbal swells push drama, final refrain holds a long, triumphant last note., opera
