《Soulmate Within》

[Verse 1: Seeing the Real Me] Neon falls across a stranger’s face A silent mirror holds me in place They wrote an answer before I could speak But never asked what my heart really seeks They call me a man, they call me a girl They draw their lines around my world But the body is only a temporary door The soul is the one I was searching for I was afraid to uncover my name So I hid my truth inside the flame Then the friend within my heart whispered low “You have always been yourself, you know” [Verse 2: The Voice Within] I am not the label written on my skin Not the shape that strangers place me in A mistaken sign upon this body Can never change the soul inside me Maybe fate took a different turn Maybe this body was wrongly learned But every heartbeat tells me the truth The person within is still my youth I will not bow to another’s dream I will not live by a borrowed scene Happiness is not a gift from above I light the fire with my own love [Verse 3: Between Family and Tradition] They say obedience is how we show respect That every family needs a perfect effect Old traditions pass from hand to hand Building walls no heart can understand But who will walk beside you through the years When the family disappears? Can their chosen name and chosen face Promise you a lifetime filled with grace? If your life is given just to carry a name And silence is treated like honor and fame Will those perfect photographs remain Or hide a lonely heart behind the frame? [Verse 4: Love Beyond the Outside] I love the way you hold my fears The way you listen through the tears When I am breaking, when I fall You reach for me and give me all I do not care what clothes you wear Or how the world defines you there When two hearts understand and stay They find their own unspoken way Love is not a half-made trust Or a door left open just because It means I give my doubts to you And still believe in what we do [Verse 5: What We Lost and Learned] I never said it out loud But I remember who I loved All the years I gave in silence No one has the right to call them nothing I waited underneath the midnight sky Pretending that I did not mind goodbye Now I finally understand the fear That stood between us year by year Some are scared to lose tradition Some are ruled by public opinion But who can promise that surrender Will keep regret away forever? If we lose the love that stands before us Even diamonds turn to dust Why do we keep living for yesterday? Why not live one life for us? [Verse 6: Living for Myself] There is only one who makes me reckless One who turns my darkness into brightness Only that soul I recognize Could be the one written in my skies Every other spark may fade away Some desires are only passing flames Interest cannot feed a life forever Steady love is what we need together Now I will no longer hide Or let the world decide my life Whatever name they place on me My heart still owns the right to be free You can become the one you choose You can take the hand you never lose When the music moves through your chest Listen to the rhythm of your truest self [Outro: Long Sustained Vocal Fade] I am—— I am—— My soul is still alive—— Still alive—— No more hiding—— No more fear—— You are you—— You are you—— Love—— Love is free—— Oh—— Oh—— Oh—— Let the heartbeat—— Carry me—— Free—— Free—— Free—— Into the light—— Into the light—— Ah—— Ah—— Ah——
