[INTRO — SOFT PIANO, DISTANT ATMOSPHERE] [VERY HIGH-PITCHED CHIPMUNK VOICE, FRAGILE AND HEARTBREAKING, HUMMING ALONE] Mmmmmmmm… Hmm-mm… hmm-mm… Mmmmmmm… mmm-mmm… [The humming trembles gently, almost like a little voice trying not to cry.] Mmm… mmm-mmm… [WHISPERED, HIGH-PITCHED FEMALE VOCAL] I thought my little world had disappeared… I thought the sun would never reach me here… [SOFT HUMMING RETURNS, SAD AND TENDER] Mmmmmmmm… Hmm-mm… hmm-mm… [VERSE 1 — INTIMATE, EMOTIONAL FEMALE VOCAL] I wore a smile that wasn't mine, While falling apart a thousand times. The days were grey, the nights were long, I almost forgot where I belonged. I held the pieces of my heart, And wondered how to make a start. But somewhere underneath the pain, A little spark survived the rain. [CHIPMUNK HUMMING — SAME MELODY, STILL SAD BUT GENTLER] Mmm-mmm… mmm-mmm… Mmmmmmm… hmm-mm… [PRE-BUILD — WARM PADS, GENTLE PULSE BEGINNING] Maybe I don't have to be The girl I was before the storm. Maybe there's a place for me Where broken wings can still be born. I'm not the hurt that I went through, I'm not the tears I cried alone. There's a little light inside of me… And it's finally coming home. [BUILD-UP — CHIPMUNK HUMMING BECOMES HOPEFUL, MELODY RISING] Mmm-mm! Mmm-mm! Mmmmmm… mmm-mm! [HIGH-PITCHED VOCAL, SOFTLY] I'm still here… I'm still here… [BUILD-UP INTENSIFIES] I'M STILL HERE! [DROP 1 — MASSIVE EUPHORIC HAPPY HARDSTYLE KICK, BRIGHT SUPERSAWS] I'M LEARNING TO FLY AGAIN! I'M LETTING THE LIGHT BACK IN! I'VE CRIED MY TEARS, I'VE FACED MY FEARS, AND I'M READY TO BEGIN! I'M LEARNING TO FLY AGAIN! MY HEART IS BEATING FREE! THE WORLD CAN'T TAKE THE HOPE AWAY— THERE'S STILL A LIFE IN ME! [CHIPMUNK VOCAL CHOPS AND HAPPY HUMMING ANSWER THE LEAD MELODY] Mmm-mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm! Mmm-mm! I'm alive! Mmm-mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm! Look at me, I'm learning to fly! [MELODIC INSTRUMENTAL — THE ORIGINAL SAD HUMMING MELODY NOW PLAYED BY BRIGHT, EUPHORIC SYNTHS] [VERSE 2 — WARMER, PLAYFUL, GROWING CONFIDENCE] I opened up the curtains wide, Let a little sunshine inside. I danced alone around my room, And watched the flowers start to bloom. I don't need every scar to fade, Or wish away the choices made. My past is just a chapter now, I'm finding my own way somehow. [CHIPMUNK HUMMING — LIGHT, BOUNCY, WITH A LITTLE SMILE IN THE VOICE] Mmm-ba-da, mmm-ba-da! Mmm-mmm-mmm, la-la-la! [PRE-DROP BREAKDOWN — PIANO AND EMOTIONAL VOCALS] Some days I'll stumble, that's okay, I'll find a little joy along the way. I can't rewrite the things I've known, But I can choose the seeds I've sown. And if tomorrow brings the rain, I'll know that I can bloom again. This little heart has more to give… I'm not just healing— I'M LEARNING TO LIVE! [BRIEF SILENCE] [CHIPMUNK VOICE, NOW BRIGHT AND EXCITED] Mmm-mm! Mmm-mm! Oh! I'm still here! Mmm-mm! Mmm-mm! AND I'M NOT AFRAID!

I'VE GOT A MILLION REASONS NOW TO GIVE THIS LIFE ANOTHER TRY! I'M LEARNING TO FLY AGAIN! NO MORE HIDING FROM THE SUN! I DIDN'T THINK I'D FEEL THIS WAY— BUT BABY, I'M NOT DONE!
