Verse 1
I tripped on stars beneath my feet
The sky fell down but stayed discreet
A broken clock still sings the time
The thunder hums a lullaby
[Instrumental break]
Verse 2
My shadow danced in pouring light
The storm wore shoes of velvet white
A crack became a window wide
Where hope and fire both reside
Chorus
From ashes rise the wings of flame
Each scar a badge, not just a name
The sun bleeds gold through shattered glass
We learn to fly when moments pass
Verse 3
A mirror cracked, but showed me more
Than perfect panes had done before
The rain wrote poems on my skin
Each drop a spark, a place to begin
Chorus (Refrain 2)
From bruises bloom electric vines
The pain rewrites forgotten lines
The night may bite, but stars defend
We break to bend, we bend to mend
Bridge
A cactus grows where tears once fell
Its thorns protect, its flowers swell
The mountain moved, not crushed by weight
It danced beneath the quake of fate
Solo guitar
Outro
So when the dark begins to sing
Remember light is always winged
Each fall’s a step, not just a loss
Life carves its truth in jagged gloss
[End]
