Shadows & Light 172.9s Recording (Nov 8 @ 3:48 PM) (Cover)

[Intro – murmuré] Yeah... Still breathing… still fighting… We rise from the ashes, every night. [Verse 1] Mama said the world gon’ test your peace, Faith get cheap when the pain don’t cease. Dreams in my pocket, hope in my shoes, Walkin’ through the fire, what I got to lose? Streetlights flicker — ghosts in the glass, Every smile hides a piece of the past. I talk to the stars when I can’t sleep, They shine for the promises we couldn’t keep. [Hook] (chanté ou parlé) I’ve been down, but I still stand tall, Broken wings, but I still won’t fall. Love in my scars, truth in my fight, I was born from the shadows, still reachin’ for the light. (Yeah...) Still reachin’ for the light. [Verse 2] My brothers locked up, my sisters cry, Politicians pray while the poor just die. They sell us dreams through a plastic screen, But I’ve seen too much to believe that scene. Every choice is a chain, every tear a seed, We grow through the pain, through the hunger and need. The world wants silence, but I got a voice, And every beat I breathe — that’s my choice. [Hook] I’ve been down, but I still stand tall, Broken wings, but I still won’t fall. Love in my scars, truth in my fight, I was born from the shadows, still reachin’ for the light. [Bridge – parlé avec intensité] They can take the gold, they can take the crown, But they can’t kill the sound of a soul unbound. From the concrete — yeah, the flowers grow, Even pain got rhythm when your heart still glows. [Final Hook – a cappella / spoken] I’ve been down, but I still stand tall, Broken wings, but I still won’t fall. Love in my scars, truth in my fight, Born in the dark… still reachin’ for the light.
