Wild Enough to Begin (Celtic Skyfire Requiem)

[Intro – soft piano + ambient guitar, breathy vocal] (Ohh… mmh…) ⸻ [Verse 1 – intimate, warm tone] There are nights I lie awake, staring at the ceiling Chasing ghosts of what I lost, fighting what I’m feeling Some truths cut deep, like a cold wind through the trees But time don’t wait for tears, it just carries me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – slight build] I held on tight to things already gone Till I learned some roads you walk alone ⸻ [Chorus – big, emotional, powerful belts] There are things we don’t want, but we learn to live with Hearts we can’t hold, but we still gotta give Yeah, love can burn and leave you in the dark But it’s the only way to light a spark So if you’re scared but your soul still believes Go on and chase what you can’t yet see ‘Cause courage ain’t loud, it begins within There’s magic in being wild enough to begin ⸻ [Verse 2 – slightly stronger, more presence] I’ve seen rivers carve their way through solid stone Watched the seasons teach me how to let things go Every falling leaf, every fading light Whispers, “Nothing here was ever yours to keep, just hold it right” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – emotional lift] And every goodbye wrote a line in me A deeper kind of honesty ⸻ [Chorus – fuller instrumentation, drums + electric guitar swell] There are things we don’t want, but we learn to live with Dreams we don’t know, but we grow into it Yeah, truth can sting like a desert flame But it burns away what ain’t your name So if your hands shake but your heart says “try” Don’t wait for wings, just learn to fly ‘Cause courage ain’t loud, it begins within There’s power in being wild enough to begin ⸻ [Bridge – stripped start → huge build, signature Nashville lift] I let you go like the tide leaves the shore But love like that don’t die, it just changes form It’s in the wind, it’s in the rain It’s in the fire running through my veins (Time rises – drums kick in, vocal soars) Time keeps calling, I won’t stand still Got dreams bigger than my fear ever will ⸻ [Final Chorus – biggest moment, full band, high harmony stacks] There are things we don’t want, but we learn to embrace Moments that break us, still shape who we are today Yeah, life’s a storm and a sweet sunrise A thousand hellos and a thousand goodbyes So take that dream you’ve been hiding in And give it breath, let it pull you in ‘Cause bold hearts rise where doubt has been There’s genius, there’s magic in daring to begin ⸻ [Outro – soft, emotional landing, piano + vocal] Yeah, we lose, we love, we fall, we mend But the truth is found in the shape we’re in So don’t wait for perfect… don’t pretend Just be alive… and begin
