[Intro - Whispered, No Instruments, Close Mic, Breath Audible] "This song is dedicated to someone very special to me." "It's to you - Rebel" [Pause - Silence, Breath] [Verse 1 - Intimate, Alison Moyet-style Soul Vocal, Sparse Piano Only, Breath Between Lines] You hold me, brother, like no other... Like no other. You're my harbor in the stormy weather, You're like a mother and a father. My best friend, my whole family! Rebel, you're so much more to me... You're my lighthouse in my life, My fortress, my treasure, everything I need. [Pause - Piano Fades to Near Silence] [Chorus - Voice Still Leads, Choir Enters Softly Underneath, Building] All you need is... Someone who believes. Someone who believes... To believe in your strength, To believe in your will, To believe in your courage. We're both rebels at heart— You are my rebel at heart. [Pause - Piano Only, Space to Breathe] [Verse 2 - Vocal Cracks with Emotion, Minimal Instrumentation] Living hand-to-mouth, No hometown, no home! Still, you never let go of me. You hold me fast, you are right there— Time and time again. I throw things at your head, Call you a loser, bite, and scratch! I run away... And you search for me day and night, Never giving up, Even when I curse you out. [Pause - Silence] [Chorus - Choir Slightly Fuller Than First Time] All you need is... Someone who believes. Someone who believes... To believe in your strength, To believe in your will, To believe in your courage. We're both rebels at heart— You are my rebel at heart. [Pause - Breath, Near Silence] [Bridge - Vocal Trembling, On the Edge of Tears, Piano Only] You hold my umbrella, While you're standing in the rain. You brought me food, You watched over my sleep! I cursed and berated you... Then you came with gifts, My very first dress and sneakers. What did you even have? Nothing. You showed me what it means to be strong. Loneliness is a rebel. [Pause - Silence, Let It Sit] [Verse 3 - Vocal Building in Intensity, Piano Swells Slightly] We came from nothing, You made it happen for me. You turned this into my home— The place right by your side. That was all I needed! That is all it takes: Someone who believes in you And stays right by your side. Every time I feel low, You're right there with me. Come on, hold me tight— You're the storyteller of my better life. Often I thought it was just a dream, You made it real! The story is ours. For loneliness, it's no more a dream! You make it real!!! [Pause - Breath, Held] [Spoken/Cracked Vocal - Raw, Almost Breaking, Minimal Backing] He give me a home, he show me Musik, he show me to sing, to act! HE IS MY BROTHER!!! HE GIVE ME THIS!!! ABOVE ALL, HE GAVE ME LIFE! [Pause - Silence Before the Swell] [Final Chorus - Full Choir Now, Voice Still Center, Deep Soul Vibe, Emotional Peak] All you need is... Someone who believes! Someone who believes... To believe in your strength, To believe in your will, To believe in your courage! We're both rebels at heart— You are my rebel at heart! [Repeat - Choir Fuller Still, Vocal Soaring but Fragile] All you need is... Someone who believes! Someone who believes... To believe in your strength, To believe in your will, To believe in your courage! We're both rebels at heart— You are my rebel at heart! [Fade Out - Raw, Soulful Vocal Run, Instruments Drop Away] [Pause - Silence] [Whispered, Close Mic, Breaking Voice] Thank you big brother [End]
