[Verse 1] Been fighting shadows since the day I got clean Stomach in knots, brain spinning machines Scared I won’t be here to watch my babies grow So every song I write is something I can leave them to hold [Pre-Chorus] Not for the likes, not chasing the fame Just a father trying to etch his heart in their name [Chorus] Immortal memories — carved in every line Truth and love I leave when I run out of time Clean and honest, built on solid ground For my children and theirs when I’m no longer around Immortal memories — not in the charts or the glow But in the values I give them before I have to go I choose every word with the weight that it holds Immortal memories — this is how the story unfolds [Verse 2] Some nights the fear gets louder than the beat Wonder if I’ll see them stand on their own two feet But I won’t let the worry steal the light I can give So I pour out my soul in these songs while I live [Pre-Chorus] Every bar’s a letter, every truth’s a vow Saying who we are when I’m not here somehow [Chorus] Immortal memories — carved in every line Truth and love I leave when I run out of time Clean and honest, built on solid ground For my children and theirs when I’m no longer around Immortal memories — not in the charts or the glow But in the values I give them before I have to go I choose every word with the weight that it holds Immortal memories — this is how the story unfolds [Bridge – half-time, raw vulnerable rasp build] If my time comes sooner than I prayed it would Let these songs be the voice that still tells them they’re good That their dad fought hard, loved deep, stood tall And left them something real they can carry through it all… [Final Chorus – massive key change, full-power belts + layered ad-libs] Immortal memories — hear it echo through the years! From the quiet nights writing through the hopes and the fears Not for the moment, but for what comes after me Immortal memories — this is my legacy! Immortal memories — let the real message ring Stronger together, let the good songs sing This life is temporary, but the truth can remain Immortal memories… in my children’s name [Outro – soft fading with warm guitar and ad-libs] Immortal memories… For them… for always… This is why I create…
