[Intro: clean electric guitar, piano, distant violin, restrained vocal] [Verse 1] Who taught you to lower your eyes? Who told you the sky was closed? Who traded wonder for permission? Who taught you to stay controlled? Who measured all your potential With someone else's fear? Who built a cage around your future Then told you safety lives in here? [Pre-Chorus: drums build, violin swelling] You've worn these chains so long You call them part of you [Chorus: full band, soaring clean vocals with gang harmonies] Why are you afraid Of your own potential? What actually stops you From becoming who you are? Stand up! Break free! Shake loose every borrowed chain! They've named you long enough! Now show us... Who you really are! [Verse 2: crunchy guitars, building intensity] History is not your sentence Failure is not your name The voices trying to keep you small Do not get the final say Stop mistaking where you've lived For where you're meant to stand You were never born To live inside another's plan [Pre-Breakdown: instrumentation strips back] What actually stops you? Fear? Comfort? The crowd? [Breakdown: half-time groove, heavy chugs, screamed vocals, gang shouts] WHO ARE YOU... WITHOUT THE FEAR? WHO ARE YOU... WITHOUT THE DOUBT? WHO ARE YOU... WHEN NOBODY ELSE... GETS TO DECIDE?! [Bridge: melodic build, clean vocals return, violin soaring] Or have you surrendered To a voice That was never yours To begin with? [Final Chorus: full band, layered vocals, highest energy] Why are you afraid Of your own potential? What actually stops you From becoming who you are? Stand up! Break free! Stand where the world can see you! They've spoken long enough! Now show us... Who you really are! Become Who you were meant to be! Who you were born to be! [Outro: instruments gradually fall away, piano and violin remain] You are not your fear. You are not your failure. You are not your past. Become... Who you were born to be.
