[Instrumental Intro – soft atmospheric pads rising into euphoric synth swells, heartbeat kick growing stronger]
(faint hums, breathy echoes)
Ahhh-ohh... (echo: rise...)
Mmm-light...
[Verse 1]
Im turning twenty-one this year
Two decades gone, the path is clear
Every ten, a different test
But now I rise above the rest
The mirror showed the war inside
But I chose truth instead of pride
The darker voice began to fade
The light in me refused to break
[Pre-Chorus – uplifting synths, vocal runs soaring]
Ooooooh, I feel the winds beneath my soul
Ooooooh, the broken parts are turning whole
He tried to drown me in the flame
But love inside me stayed the same
I faced the fire, I stood my ground
And found the peace that can't be bound
[Chorus – euphoric drop, light-laced vocals soaring]
This is my second decade
And now the light remains
I took the pain and burned it
It pulsed into my veins
No more hiding
My soul is slowly rising
Im shining brighter, Im ascending higher
And this is just beginning
This is my second decade
The war is finally won
The voice inside is silent
The light and I are one
The echoes are behind me
The future's burning brightly
Im golden, Im unbroken
And this is just beginning
[Verse 2]
He whispered fear to cage my mind
But I left all those chains behind
He spoke in doubt, I sang in faith
I held the light and found escape
He reached to drag me down below
But I had seeds of light to grow
I looked him in the eye and said:
“You won’t define my soul again”
[Pre-Chorus 2 – stronger build, full harmony layers]
Ooooooh, the tide inside me starts to swell
Ooooooh, I turned my chaos into self
The part of me that longed to heal
Took back the crown, became the real
No darkness left to lead my fate
The light in me has sealed the gate
[Final Chorus – full drop, angelic harmony and epic float]
This is my second decade
I shine without a mask
The stars align beneath my name
The pain is in the past
Im dancing in the glory
Unfolding all of me
Im endless, Im forgiven
And I have just begun
This is my second decade
Where love is loud and free
Where heart and soul are balanced
And I am finally me
No war inside me breaking
Just grace and power waking
Im whole now, Im transcending
And this is just beginning
[Bridge – celestial build, powerful run]
Ohhhhhhhh
I saw the dark, I felt its pull
But chose to rise, to take control
I let the sun ignite my chest
I fought for truth and gave my best
The shadows begged to take my name
But I stood tall, refused the flame
Im not afraid to love again
This is my time, this is the end
[Extended Outro – slow fade, heaven-toned vocal echoes]
Ahhh-ohhh (Im light...)
Ahhh-ohhh (Im free...)
Ahhh-ohhh (Im whole...)
Ahhh-ohhh (Im me...)
Let it begin. Rise.
This is light in my life.
Made of shadows, I chose light.
I chose to rise. And now… I begin again.
Yes.Begin.
