Same Sky

Genre: soulful protest anthem / cinematic pop Mood: hurt turning into power Tempo: slow build, 78–84 BPM Verse 1 They looked at me like I was less than a name, Like my story was a shadow, like my blood was to blame. I walked into rooms where the air turned cold, Where the truth got quiet and the lies got bold. They measured my worth by the skin I’m in, By the place I came from, by the shape I’ve been. But I was born with thunder underneath my ribs, And I won’t apologize for the life I live. Pre-Chorus You can try to make me small, But I come from those who stood tall. Every scar becomes a flame, Every silence learns my name. Chorus We all bleed red under the same sky, We all need love, we all ask why. Don’t tell me who I’m allowed to be, I was born with a soul that was meant to be free. You can build your walls, but I’ll rise through the cracks, You can throw your stones, but I won’t throw them back. I’ll stand right here with my head held high, We all bleed red under the same sky. Verse 2 They called it tradition, they called it “just how it is,” But hate dressed up nicely is still hate in the end. A whisper, a joke, a door closed tight, A chance never given, a stolen spotlight. I’ve seen good hearts get tired of trying, Seen bright eyes dim from years of fighting. But don’t mistake our tears for defeat, There’s a whole revolution in these two feet. Pre-Chorus You can try to draw your lines, But love keeps crossing every time. Every voice you pushed away Is getting louder every day. Chorus We all bleed red under the same sky, We all need love, we all ask why. Don’t tell me who I’m allowed to be, I was born with a soul that was meant to be free. You can build your walls, but I’ll rise through the cracks, You can throw your stones, but I won’t throw them back. I’ll stand right here with my head held high, We all bleed red under the same sky. Bridge No more walking with my eyes on the floor, No more begging for an open door. I am not your fear, I am not your shame, I am not the reason you needed someone to blame. I am mother, brother, daughter, son, I am every battle you thought you won. I am history breathing, future wide, I am still here, still alive. Final Chorus We all bleed red under the same sky, We all need love, we all ask why. Don’t tell us who we’re allowed to be, We were born with souls that were meant to be free. You can build your walls, but we’ll rise through the cracks, You can throw your stones, but we won’t disappear back. We’ll stand right here with our heads held high, We all bleed red under the same sky. Outro Same sky… same ground… Same heartbeat… same sound… You don’t have to look like me To be worthy of being free.
