[Intro – acoustic + marimba] Soft light breaking through the dawn Footsteps echo, moving on Every road I tried to leave Led me back to what I need [Verse 1 – intimate] Quiet strings and a heartbeat sound Simple truths when the noise dies down I was searching miles away For the words I couldn’t say [Pre-Chorus – piano build] Feel the rhythm rising slowly Every shadow turning gold Hands up to the open sky now Let the story unfold [Chorus / Drop – full energy] We come alive tonight Higher than the city lights Hold the moment, don’t let go Feel the fire start to glow Oh-oh, we rise, we run, we shine Oh-oh, your heart in time with mine [Post-Drop – sax call & response] (Instrumental sax melody answering vocal hook) [Verse 2 – acoustic returns] Every scar became a spark Every ending lit the dark Now the rhythm pulls me near Every doubt disappears [Pre-Chorus – bigger build] Hear the piano calling louder Feel the waves begin to climb When the beat breaks through the silence We leave the past behind [Chorus / Drop – bigger harmonies] We come alive tonight Higher than the city lights Hold the moment, don’t let go Feel the fire start to glow Oh-oh, we rise, we run, we shine Oh-oh, forever in this time [Bridge – breakdown] Just a voice and saxophone Not afraid to stand alone Then the drums begin again… [Final Drop – euphoric] We come alive tonight… (extended vocal ad-libs + sax lead) [Outro] Acoustic guitar fades with marimba echoes.
