If You Ever Forget Who You Are

V6

[Intro — soft haunting violin, intimate female voice] My babies... There may come a day When the world gets so loud You can barely hear yourself anymore. If that day comes... Listen for my voice. [Verse 1 — dark piano, gentle Celtic fiddle] Someday you might lose your way, Forget the dreams you used to chase. Hear so many voices in your head, You start believing what they said. Maybe someone breaks your trust, Leaves you questioning if you're enough. Maybe life takes you somewhere strange, And you don't recognize how much you've changed. [Pre-Chorus — violin rising] But underneath the fear and scars, There's still a heart that's always yours. [Chorus — soaring electric violin, powerful Norse drums] IF YOU EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE! Look for the light inside your heart! You're not the names that people gave, Not every mistake you've ever made! You're the courage underneath the fear, The voice that's learning to reappear! And no matter how far you are— My babies, remember who you are! [Verse 2 — emotional gothic Celtic rock] To my boys, when the world says "strong," Doesn't mean you can't admit you're wrong. You can be gentle, you can cry, You don't have to hide what's deep inside. And my girl, don't let them decide How much of yourself you're allowed to shine. You can be fierce, you can be kind, You don't have to leave your heart behind. Seven different souls, seven different dreams, You don't have to become what the world believes. And if you grow beyond who you've been, You can discover yourself again. [Chorus — full gothic folk-rock] IF YOU EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE! Look for the light inside your heart! You're not the names that people gave, Not every mistake you've ever made! You're the courage underneath the fear, The voice that's learning to reappear! And no matter how far you are— My babies, remember who you are! [Bridge — stripped piano, trembling violin] I wish somebody told me then, That losing myself wasn't the end. I spent too long trying to become Someone who'd finally be enough. [Voice strengthens, violin begins to soar] But I was always worthy of love, Even when I didn't feel enough. And if my children lose their way, I hope these words are what remain— You are not your darkest hour, Not somebody else's claim. You can change a thousand times, And still deserve your name. [Brief Electric Violin Solo — 8 seconds] [Final Chorus — powerful angelic female harmonies] IF YOU EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE! You're still deserving of your stars! You're not the hurt you've carried through, Or the people who stopped choosing you! You can start again, you can grow, You can find a different road! And wherever life takes your heart— Don't forget how worthy you are! [Outro — gentle violin, soft maternal vocals] Seven stars across the night, Seven beautifully different lights. And if your world feels strange and new, There's still a place in it for you. [Spoken Outro — intimate, warm female voice] My babies... You won't always know who you're becoming. And that's okay. You can change your dreams. You can change your mind. You can discover parts of yourself You never knew existed. But whatever life teaches you... Never forget that you deserve love. Including your own. Love, Mama.
