A Better Way

(Intro – soft / spoken) Yeah… Two fires… I see it now… ⸻ (Verse 1) My days were long, but many had worse, I came with fire, I came with verse. I learned quick, yeah, saved my skin, Stayed naïve just to slip past sin. I fit in enough, but never all in, Read the lines, never read within. Moved through spaces, played it thin— Half let out, half locked in. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I seen the dark, I felt that weight, Walked that line between love and hate. Every choice, every breath I take, Feeds the path that I create. ⸻ (Chorus) Two fires live behind my eyes— One feeds on hate, one lifts me wise. They ask no judge, they make no plea, They grow from what I let them see. ⸻ (Verse 2) I lean to light, I lean to day, I’m here to show there’s a better way. Lean on one, lean on many, The few who stand have stayed ready. Through the noise, I found my sight, Lost some wrong, but gained some light. Now I move with clearer aim, I don’t feed that same old flame. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus – variation) No more walking half in shade, No more hiding what I made. Every breath, I choose it true, What I feed, I let it through. ⸻ (Chorus – fuller) Two fires live behind my eyes— One feeds on hate, one lifts me wise. They ask no judge, they make no plea, They grow from what I let them see. ⸻ (Bridge – emotional peak) This is the time, yeah, the time is here, Our spirits feel it, we won’t back down in fear. Evil tries to seep, tries to bleed us thin, But this time we see—know the needs within. ⸻ (Final Chorus – evolved / anthem) Two fires live behind my eyes— I choose the light, I choose to rise. No more fear, no more disguise, I feed the truth, I cut the ties. They ask no judge, they make no plea, But now I see what’s meant for me— What I feed is what I’ll be… So I choose light. I choose free. ⸻ (Outro – stripped, soulful) I lean to light… I lean to day… I’m here to show there’s a better way…
