Long Roads Ahead - Revisited

Same dusty Apollo/Cyne beat – warm Rhodes, brushed snares, low sub humming like regret), Rap, Jazz

[Intro – spoken, low]Alright hey, let’s go…Do you remember the ties that bind?Yeah… neither do I.

[Verse1]Woke up to the same grind, life’s a constant uphill fightCity lights flicker, mirror the dreams that fade from sightBills stackin’ like the promises once made by the starsChasin’ ghostly shadows, while we dance with our own scarsMama’s tired eyes, under weight she can’t afford to bearDaddy hustlin’ hard, trying to breathe in this thin airI believed in magic, thought kindness paved the wayBut the streets hum a melody, where love’s led astray[Hook]What happened to sharing our stories?Cash rules everything around me, now I’m searchin’ for a sparkHands reaching for hope, lost in shadows and the darknessTell me, what happened to sharing our stories?

[Verse2]Preacher’s cryin’ blessings, in a world that feels so cold“Give your heart to the promise,” but the truth’s left untoldFriends turned to followers, hearts shielded by the screenI believed in unity—now it’s just a bitter dreamBuilt these walls for safety, but the love feels like a ghostTouch costs a fortune, while we chase what matters mostUsed to share laughter, now silence fills the roomC.R.E.A.M. turned our souls cold, in this dollar’s tomb[Hook]What happened to loving each other?Cash rules everything around me, but where did the love go?Eyes on the prize, but the prize leaves us hollowTell me, what happened to loving each other?

[Bridge – soft, almost whispered over sparse keys and faint vinyl crackle]But in the still of night… when the burdens cease their callThere’s still a spark like me and youWho remember the whispers of graceHearts that cared without asking for a priceEyes that shined bright in the nightMaybe that’s enough to start again.

[Final Hook – layered, raw]Cash rules everything around me… but there’s more to be trueA few like me and you… we know what time it isOne day we’ll trade our burdens for the love we used to giveGod, bring back the love for each other…

[Outro – fading spoken]Yeah…Do you remember the times we shared?Neither do I…But I still remember how it felt…When someone truly saw you.
