[Verse] Standing in the plane, my world is burning red. Everyone is quiet (shh) while the engines fall to silence. I call out to Mother, “You have to go, you have to run,” but she only breathes a calm goodbye (bye) and places my sister in my arms. [Pre‑Chorus] [Spoken Song] She whispers You will live, my children will survive. You must fly now… you must rise another time. [Chorus] We’re falling through the clouds, with the wind singing wild around us. Am I frozen, am I fast, am I drifting slow? Then the shadows break with thunder, and the bullets cut the sky (no) Aiya cries out, then goes quiet as I hold her close. blood on my hands… (oh) but I will not let go. [Verse] Someone’s calling, “Gaia, slow down,” and the world comes rushing back. I guide our fall, I bring us down, we hit the earth still breathing. A distant flare lights up the dark Mother’s gone, the plane is a flame. Another shuttle circles in, its weapons waking in the light. [Pre‑Chorus] But I stand my ground, I will not bow or break. If this is the last horizon, I’ll meet it wide awake. [Chorus] ’Cause we flew through the fire, we flew so we could fight another day. Is this the last day, or just the turning of the page? Through the smoke and the sorrow, through the fear I cannot name I am still here, I am still rising, I am still flame. [Bridge] Oh, the sky remembers every soul it tried to claim. (oh) But the heart remembers louder every love that kept me brave. (oh) Mother’s voice is in the wind, Aya’s heartbeat against my chest (breathe) I am carried by the ones I’ve lost, I am guided by the rest. (oh) [Final Chorus] We flew through the fire, we flew so we could see another dawn. If this is the last day, I’ll face it standing strong. Through the burning and the falling, through the storm I couldn’t tame [Outro] I am still here, I am still rising, I am still flame.
