Voices for Michael (Intro They said he’s different… Like that was something broken… But they never listened long enough… To hear what he was holding… (Verse 1) Quiet in a crowded room Eyes down, avoiding you Every laugh feels like a blade Every whisper’s got his name He maps the world in lines and codes Finds beauty where nobody goes But they just see what they don’t know And turn it into something cold (Pre-Chorus) Every word they threw like stones Built a wall around his bones But inside a fire grows… (Chorus) These voices in his head say run But his heart screams louder, “Don’t you bend” You don’t have to be like them You were never meant to fit their end They tried to break what they don’t see But there’s a strength in being you, believe Through the noise, through all the pain— Michael, you will rise again (Verse 2) Hallways feel like battlegrounds Echoes of those cruel sounds Shoved aside, laughed at again Like he’s less than all of them But he sees patterns in the stars Dreams in ways they never are Every scar they tried to leave Only carved his honesty (Pre-Chorus) Every shove, every name Couldn’t kill what makes him him Now the silence starts to break… (Chorus ) These voices in his head say run But his heart screams louder, “Don’t give up” You don’t have to play their game You were born to be untamed They tried to bury what they fear But his truth is finally breaking clear Through the noise, through all the pain— Michael, you will rise again (Bridge) Say it loud— “I’m not broken, I’m just wired different” Every bruise, every word— Yeah, I carried it but I’m still living You don’t get to define my name You don’t get to decide my place I’ve been silent far too long— Now you’re gonna hear my voice (Final Chorus) Let the voices in his head say fight Now his heart’s louder than all their lies He doesn’t need to be like them— He’s stronger standing as he is What they mocked is what will shine What they crushed will redefine Through the scars, through the pain— Michael rose above the rain (Outro) He was never broken… Just unheard… Now the world… Will learn his words…
