New talent pull me aside like, How’d you survive

Verse 1 Word around town, they been talkin’ lately FreshAir in the speakers, movin’ hearts daily New faces backstage, eyes wide, dreams lit They say, “If he made it sound like that, I can do this” I came in quiet, let the work speak loud No shortcuts, just truth in the crowd Every note a lesson, every scar a key I ain’t flexin’ the crown, I’m unlockin’ the seat Pre-Chorus I hear the hunger in the new voices rise They don’t want fame, they want real life If my sound’s a bridge, then cross it free Take what you need, make it more than me Chorus Word around town, FreshAir set the tone Made space in the room so we all belong I’m comfortable now, yeah, I settled in grace Honored to be heard, leadin’ them to something greater In the echoes, there’s secrets we learn Every loss, every win, every bridge we burn If you listen real close, you’ll feel it confirm This ain’t just music, it’s the future we turn Verse 2 Industry lights used to feel so cold Now I stand steady, doin’ what I was told By the voice in my chest sayin’ “Stay you” They can’t copy a soul, they can’t fake what’s true New talent pull me aside like, “How’d you survive?” I say, “By never lettin’ the noise decide” You don’t chase the wave, you become the tide Let your scars harmonize Pre-Chorus I see them findin’ themselves in the sound That’s bigger than charts, bigger than crowds If I’m a chapter, don’t stop the read Keep writin’ your truth, that’s the real legacy Chorus Word around town, FreshAir set the tone Made space in the room so we all belong I’m comfortable now, yeah, I settled in grace Honored to be heard, leadin’ them to something greater In the echoes, there’s secrets we learn Every loss, every win, every bridge we burn If you listen real close, you’ll feel it confirm This ain’t just music, it’s the future we turn Bridge There’s wisdom in the reverb, pain in the delay What you hear comin’ back is what you play If my sound helps you trust your own voice Then every mile was worth the choice Break (Spoken / Half-Sung) I never wanted to lead by force Just show what happens when you stay the course Final Chorus Word around town, the energy’s real FreshAir in the room, now the ceiling can feel I stand here grateful, not claimin’ the throne Just openin’ doors, lettin’ courage come home In the echoes, the secrets unfold A future of artists, fearless and bold If this is the sound that we all return Then I’m honored to be heard while the whole world learns Outro Listen close… The echoes are speakin’.
