Freedom Rising (dedicated the People of Iran)

(Verse 1) Inside the heart where longing begins A spark takes shape beneath the skin A quiet thought, a distant flame A dream awakens without a name Through crowded streets and silent nights It travels softly beyond the sight No hand can hold it, no wall can stay The seed of freedom finds a way (Pre-Chorus) One voice becomes another voice A whisper grows into a choice A current moving deep below Stronger than the world may know (Chorus) Freedom rising, a river unseen Flowing beneath what has always been Hope remembers what fear forgets The future lives where hearts connect Freedom rising, steady and slow Like roots beneath the winter snow Waiting patiently for the day The light returns and finds its way (Verse 2) A mother dreams of a different dawn A child imagines a wider horizon A student writes what they cannot say Yet carries the thought another day Across the years the feeling remains Moving through joy and moving through pain An unseen thread through every hand Connecting the hopes across the land (Pre-Chorus) One candle lights another flame A thousand hearts can do the same The smallest spark can still reveal A truth no silence can conceal (Chorus) Freedom rising, a river unseen Flowing beneath what has always been Hope remembers what fear forgets The future lives where hearts connect Freedom rising, steady and slow Like roots beneath the winter snow Waiting patiently for the day The light returns and finds its way (Bridge) Zoom out and watch the story unfold Not made of borders, not made of gold But made of people who dare believe That tomorrow can become what they see Through every season, through every year The dream survives beneath the fear And what begins as a single spark Can one day illuminate the dark (Final Chorus) Freedom rising, a force untamed Living beyond a ruler’s name Hope remembers, fear lets go And carries the dream where it needs to go Freedom rising, evolving still Moving through hearts with quiet will A timeless rhythm, an endless wave The human spirit refuses a cage (Outro) From the depths of the soul To the world’s open hands Freedom is carried Where belief still stands A whisper today A chorus tomorrow The story of freedom Beyond joy and sorrow
