(Verse 1) I walk through streets untouched by fear, In a world so bright, yet strange and near. I see their laughter, feel their light, But wonder still, come darkest night— If shadows rise, would they stand fast, Or fall to echoes of the past? (Chorus) If shadows rise, would hope remain? Would they break free or wear the chain? Would courage fade, or would they fight? To hold the dawn against the night. In a world so bright, so full and free, Could they withstand what haunted me? (Verse 2) I touch their lives like morning dew, A stranger here, yet yearning too. To see a world that might endure, But wonder if it’s safe and sure. For I have watched such brightness die, Consumed beneath a reddened sky. (Bridge) In whispered thoughts, I see a chance, That fate may turn, that they might dance. To face the dark and overcome, To end the tale my world’s become. Yet doubt remains, a quiet test, Could they resist as shadows press? (Chorus) If shadows rise, would hope remain? Would they break free or wear the chain? Would courage fade, or would they fight? To hold the dawn against the night. In a world so bright, so full and free, Could they withstand what haunted me? (Outro) I watch and wait, I guard the flame, A witness to a world’s own claim. If shadows come, may they find light, And prove that they can win this fight. For in their hope, I might place my trust, A dream unbroken, free of dust.
