[Intro, Rising Brass, Stomping Rhythm]
(Yeah, yeah, come on)
(Demons in the rearview, hands up to the sun)
[Verse 1]
He wakes up with fire in his chest
Ashes from dreams that never let him rest
Eyes like storms, hands worn thin
Every morning starts a war he never lets win
[Pre-Chorus, Swelling Horns]
But he laces his boots like armor and prayer
One foot in pain, one in dare
He laughs in the face of the ghosts he knows
And dares them to follow where he goes
[Chorus, Power Swing Drop]
He’s a shadowboxer in the sun
Fighting battles he never runs from
Every scar’s a verse in his song
Yeah, he's been broken, but never wrong
Raise that glass to the sky above
This is what survival's made of
With every punch, he finds his grace
Dancing with demons he dares to face
[Verse 2, Electro Bass, Gritty Groove]
The mirror shows a man and a myth
Flickers of rage, rivers of grit
But he spins through the madness with style
Every step a rebellion, every breath worth the while
[Pre-Chorus, Rising Tension]
He’s the smoke and the flame combined
Wired with thunder in his spine
No one sees the war inside
But he parades it with fearless pride
[Chorus, Brass Hits, Driving Beat]
He’s a shadowboxer in the sun
Fighting battles he never runs from
Every scar’s a verse in his song
Yeah, he's been broken, but never wrong
Raise that glass to the sky above
This is what survival's made of
With every punch, he finds his grace
Dancing with demons he dares to face
[Bridge, Balkan Brass Solo, Beat Drop]
(Ahh ahh ahh)
[Melodic Brass Interlude]
He don’t need peace, he needs rhythm
Let the chaos sing with him
Every beat is defiance, every swing is truth
He bleeds out courage like he’s bulletproof
[Final Chorus, Full Power]
He’s a shadowboxer in the sun
Fighting battles he never runs from
Every scar’s a verse in his song
Yeah, he's been broken, but never wrong
Raise that glass to the sky above
This is what survival's made of
With every punch, he finds his grace
Dancing with demons he dares to face
[Outro, Fading Horns, Slow Swing]
Shadowboxer... in the sun
Still fighting... till the war is won
