WHERE I BEGIN (REMEMBRANCE) Intro (soft, intimate — rise to power) Before the noise Before the weight Before I learned to guard my name There was a voice I couldn’t hear But it never walked away Verse 1 I was young when the world felt heavy Like I owed it something I couldn’t explain Every road felt narrow and ready To collapse if I stepped out of place I carried questions bigger than answers Carried silence through the pain I didn’t know I was being prepared I just knew there was still blood in my veins Pre-Chorus (gentle build) There were nights I looked to the heavens Asking why I was built this way If the fire inside my chest Was a gift… or a cursed weight Chorus (restrained, emotional — not explosive yet) This is where I begin Not with anger, not with a fight But with memory returning to me Like a flame I forgot was alive I was never abandoned or lost I was never unseen Every step was shaping the man I was always meant to be Verse 2 (more clarity, more resolve) I’ve seen power rot into ego Seen truth bent into control Watched people trade their souls for comfort And call it being whole So I'm learning to stand without shouting Learning to move without praise I'm being taught discernment Even though it feels to late Pre-Chorus 2 (rise in conviction) There’s a reason I don’t move reckless There’s a reason I feel this pull I wasn’t spared from the pressure I was forged to carry it through Chorus (stronger, fuller) This is where I begin Not forgiven, not crowned, always saved I'm awake to the weight of the calling That was written into my veins I don’t need signs written in fire I don’t need heaven to bend I hear the truth from the silence within And it tells me: remember who you are This is where you begin Bridge (spiritual awakening — the remembering) I remember now Why I survived Why the dark never took my sight I remember now The hand that steadied me When I couldn’t stand upright I wasn’t spared for comfort I wasn’t chosen to blend I was entrusted with vision Now i see it through to the end Break (near silence — spoken or whispered) I didn’t come this far by accident I don't carry this fire alone If I’m still standing after everything Then I was never meant to fall—I was meant to become Final Chorus (full power, emotional + spiritual) This is where I begin With my feet on the ground, eyes ahead Every scar is a line in the story Every breath is borrowed from him No crown yet has come i'll embrace the weight until then something holy and unfinished the world forgot what it’s meant to be Time to remind it again Now is where we begin Outro (calm, resolved, eternal) Not the end Not the throne Just the moment I remembered we are never on our own This… is where I begin.
