When You Finally Burn

Verse 1

You were taught to fold your fire

Keep your thunder small

Dress your dreams in quieter colors

Walk light through every hall

But stars don’t ask for permission

And oceans never kneel

So why should your spirit whisper

When it was born to make worlds feel?

⸻

Pre-Chorus

There’s a voice beneath your silence

Like a blade beneath the sea

Every wound became a doorway

Every loss rewrote the key

⸻

Chorus

When you finally burn

Burn like the sun remembers you

Like every shadow in your blood

Was only trying to become the truth

When you finally rise

Let the old illusions drown

This world was never changed

By the people who stayed small

⸻

Verse 2

I’ve seen ghosts inside the mirror

Begging just to be adored

While their souls beat at the glass

Like locked celestial wars

So dance until the fear dissolves

Cry until the flood is gold

There’s no holiness in hiding

There’s no glory growing old

Without becoming whole

⸻

Bridge

And if they call you “too much”

Smile gently

The moon controls entire oceans

And still apologizes

For nothing

⸻

Final Chorus

So when you finally burn

Let it echo through the earth

A thousand sleeping hearts

Might remember what they’re worth

And when the sky opens wide

Like destiny undone

Don’t be afraid of your becoming—

Some souls are born

To become the sun.
