A world against us (Remastered)

[Intro] [Solo acoustic guitar, slow rhythmic strumming, warm atmosphere] [Verse 1] I never chose, I never asked to be made, Just a shadow walking through the masquerade, When I arrived, the path was set in stone, A quiet journey, but I'm not alone, [Chorus] [Folk percussion enters, soft stomp and clap] A world against us, but we’re standing tall, We carry the fire, we answer the call, Not just for me, not just for the few, But for the hope that we always knew, [Verse 2] [Acoustic guitar continues, light vocal harmonies] Across the valleys, I tracked the broken road, Carrying secrets, carrying the load, They called us strangers, told us we should hide, But there’s a river of light running deep inside. [Chorus] [Build up, more rhythm, group vocals] A world against us, but we’re standing tall, We carry the fire, we answer the call, Not just for me, not just for the few, But for the hope that we always knew. [Bridge] [Music slows, strings swelling softly, emotional, reflective] How strange to wander, to lose and to find, The broken pieces we’ve left behind. We’re not the dust, we’re the earth and the rain, We’re the quiet heartbeat, we’re the end of the pain. [Chorus] [Full energy, anthemic, acoustic grandiosity, layered voices] A world against us, but we’re standing tall, We carry the fire, we answer the call, Not just for me, not just for the few, But for the hope that we always knew! [Outro] [Guitar fades, slow rhythmic pulse] Take my hand now, we were never made for dust, We build the world, yes, it belongs to us. [Fade out with soft whistling or hum] [End]
