INTRO – Folk + Opera, soft] (Acoustic guitar picking, distant choir) Ahhh— Ahhh— We were barefoot on the edge of time Singing songs we didn’t know were mine ⸻ [VERSE 1 – Folk, storytelling] Wooden floors and open skies Dust on shoes, hope in our eyes Every road felt unfinished Every loss still forgiven We had nothing but a name Carved it in the summer rain If we fell, we fell together If we burned, we burned forever ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – Opera rise 👀] Lift me higher Let me go If this world breaks We’ll still know (Opera harmony swells underneath) ⸻ [CHORUS – Avicii-style Anthem] When we were light We didn’t run from the night We were fire in the dark We were sparks in the sky When we were light Every wrong felt right If this is the end Let it feel like the start ⸻ [DROP – Folk melody + EDM energy] (Vocal chop of “Ahhh” + folk melody on synth) Ahhh—Ahhh— Ohhh—Ohhh— ⸻ [VERSE 2 – Folk, reflective] Now the days move faster But the nights still stay Every scar’s a chapter Every heart still plays I hear your voice in the wind Like we never really left Time bends when I remember Who I was when I was them ⸻ [BUILD – OPERA TAKEOVER 😤] (Full choir) Ahhh—Ahhh— Rise— Hold— ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – FULL ANTHEM] When we were light We didn’t ask for the crown We were kings for a moment With our feet on the ground When we were light Hear the crowd, hear the sound If this fades tonight Let it echo around ⸻ [OUTRO – Folk, stripped] (Acoustic guitar + single voice) If we’re gone by the morning sun At least we were light… At least we were one
