The Last Wuju

[Verse 1] I walked a road where silence stayed With every step, I felt their names Through mountain winds and fields of gray The ones I lost still guide my way I closed my eyes but still could see A thousand ghosts surrounding me I carried pain I could not speak And kept the art alive through grief [shaker and light hand percussion enter] [Pre-Chorus - slow] Breath by breath, the blade slows down Every loss, every crown Falls like leaves onto the ground [Main Theme] [legato bamboo flute melody enters] [Chorus] Let your spirit move my way Let it bend, not break Flow through night and day Wuju does not fade Let your anger fall away Let your heart awake All we lose, we save Wuju does not fade [upright bass plays root notes on downbeats] [Verse 2] You came to me with reckless flame A laughing heart that hid its pain You wanted strength, you wanted speed But first I taught you how to breathe Your staff was heavy in your pride A weapon for the storm inside But in stillness, truth would grow The greatest path is letting go [Pre-Chorus - slow] Breath by breath, the world slows down Every scream, every crown Falls like leaves onto the ground [Chorus] Let your spirit move my way Let it bend, not break Flow through night and day Wuju does not fade Let your anger fall away Let your heart awake All we lose, we save Wuju does not fade [Bridge] [flute plays trills and higher register notes] Move like water, strike like light Hold your breath and feel the fight Not with anger, not with pride Let the Wuju wake inside Ohh… ohh… Student of the storm and flame Every scar became your name From the mountain to the rain Wuju lives through what we train [percussion intensity increases with bongo and low taiko accents] [Chorus] Let your spirit move my way Let it bend, not break Flow through night and day Wuju does not fade Let your body rise, my way Let it fly, oh, eh Through the tears and pain Wuju lives again Let your body climb high, eh Let it glide, oh, eh From the ash we made Wuju does not fade Let your body, rise my way Let it, fly oh, eh Flowing night and day Wuju I might wake Let your body, climb, high, eh Let it glide, oh, eh Tears are wiped a way Wuju I might wake [Verse 1] I
