Brighter Days Ahead

[Intro]
Shadows fall, illusions fade, through the cracks we see the dawn
Broken roads, worn-out soles, but our spirits carry on

[Verse 1]
They grind and spin, the world turns cold, trying to break our will
But in the scars, the stories told, of strength that's fierce and real
Hollow echoes, fear and doubt, trying to make us fall
Yet from the ashes, there's no doubt, we'll rise above it all

[Pre-Chorus]
Stand tall, break free, open your mind to what can be
For every scar and every tear, there's hope and victory

[Chorus]
Harsh realities try to drown the light, but we keep fighting on
Brave are those who see beyond the night, till every darkness's gone
Open minds and fearless hearts, paving brighter days
Standing strong, a brand new start, breaking all the chains

[Bridge]
The world may try to hold us down, but we won't be confined
In unity, our strength is found, with open hearts and minds
Light the way, defy the dark, ignite the flame inside
Progress grows from open hearts, together we will rise

[Outro]
Though the journey's tough and long, hope is our guiding star
Stronger souls will carry on, and heal the world's scars
