"This Voice Was Never Borrowed" #SCPHChallenges

[Intro] If the lights fade... If the crowd disappears... Will there still be a song? [Verse 1] They're calling someone to change their life tonight One single word can rewrite every dream I hear my heartbeat louder than the stage Standing where hope and fear have always been But underneath these borrowed beams of light There's something older than this moment here A melody that found me long before Anyone was listening [Pre-Chorus] So if tomorrow looks different than I planned Will I still have the courage just to stand? [Chorus] I don't sing For the echo of my name Or for a trophy shining in the rain I sing 'Cause a song can heal a soul Lift the broken, make the empty whole Even if the spotlight turns away Even if tonight's not mine to claim I'll still be singing Long after tonight is gone [Verse 2] There was a voice that believed before I could A hand that reached before I learned to fly They never asked me how far I would go They only taught me not to fear the sky So every note I leave upon the air Carries every sacrifice they made If one heart finds the strength because I sang Then nothing was in vain [Pre-Chorus] No matter where this road is leading me The reason never changes [Chorus] I don't sing For the echo of my name Or for a trophy shining in the rain I sing 'Cause a song can heal a soul Lift the broken, make the empty whole Even if the spotlight turns away Even if tonight's not mine to claim I'll still be singing Long after tonight is gone [Bridge] When every curtain falls When every camera leaves When all that's left is who I am... I'll still have this melody This voice was never borrowed This dream was never owned As long as someone's searching for the light They'll never sing alone [Key Change] [Final Chorus] I will sing Till every silent heart can hear (hear) Till every lonely soul knows someone cares (someone cares) I'll sing Through every mountain, every storm Through every ending, every dawn This is more than winning one more night This is why my heart was born to FLY (I'll keep believing) I'll keep believing (I'll keep becoming) I'll keep believing I'll keep becoming Every reason I have to keep reaching further Still loving [Outro] I'll still be singing Long after tonight Is gone
