"HANDS TO LIFT ME UP" - ADDICTION PT4 - Red Face

[Laughter] [Intro: Rising synths, layered handclaps, Victorious] I woke up clean And the sky was loud The world still hurts But I’m standing proud [Verse 1: Bright delivery, steady rhythm] New job, new shoes, new name on the door Still hear her whisper But I don’t answer anymore I’ve got friends who check in And hands that hold me tight The cage is cracked and open And I’m walking toward the light [Chorus: Joyous scat, layered with affirmations] Ah‑hah… yeah‑yeah… Hands to lift me up They catch me when I fall Ah‑hah… yeah‑yeah… I’m burning through the shadows But I’m standing tall [Verse 2: Confident, emotional] I still get cravings Like ghosts behind the glass But I’ve got voices louder Than the ones that want me back I’m learning how to breathe Without the cherry haze And every step I take Is a spark that lights the way [Chorus: Same scat, more layered harmonies] Ah‑hah… yeah‑yeah… Hands to lift me up They catch me when I fall Ah‑hah… yeah‑yeah… I’m burning through the shadows But I’m standing tall [Bridge: Spoken‑sung, layered with group vocals] The world still feels so heavy But I’m stronger than the pain Now every breath feels holy The color of the world… …remains… [Outro: Fade out with rising synths and handclaps] I woke up clean And the sky was loud The world still hurts But I’m standing proud [Breakdown: Gittery, Joyous] Thanks to all my Friends!
