(When silence falls and the shadows creep,
The man in the mirror’s not the one I keep.)
Verse
If tomorrow stayed away,
Would I rise and face the blazing day?
Half my life in shadows, chasing ghosts,
Half in lies to those I needed most.
I’ve loved too wild, lost more than I planned,
Clutching mistakes like ashes in my hand.
[Chorus (Soaring, anthem-style]
Would I be proud of the life I’ve made,
Or haunted by the bridges I let fade?
If the sun went dark at the end of the day,
Would I beg for one more chance to change?
If tomorrow… stayed away!
Verse
There’s a boy from the past, still calling my name,
Begging me to rise, but I stay the same.
The man I am now Is wondering why
I bite back the tears when I need to cry.
Kindness I felt but never let flow,
Words on my lips I was too scared to show.
Sometimes I wonder if a softer heart
Might have saved someone from falling apart.
[Chorus Stronger, with layered vocals]
Would I be proud of the life I’ve made,
Or haunted by the bridges I let fade?
If the sun went dark at the end of the day,
Would I beg for one more chance to change?
If tomorrow… stayed away!
If tomorrow… stayed away!
[Bridge / Epic Section]
Maybe heaven isn’t far above,
Maybe it’s the forgiveness buried deep in love.
Redemption’s whisper calls from within,
When you face yourself and the night begins.
[Guitar/keyboard solo builds]
[Chorus / Final Anthem (Double-time, full choir & harmonies]
Would I be proud of the life I’ve made,
Or haunted by the bridges I let fade?
If the light went out and the world turned gray,
Could I lay it all down unafraid?
If tomorrow… stayed away!
[Outro]
If tomorrow stayed away…
If tomorrow stayed away…
(Epic instrumental fade, ending on a triumphant chord)
