Ahhhh... you are enough... [Verse 2 – vocals deeper, guitars breathing heavier beneath the Rhodes] But I've seen what happens when the self becomes the centre When the mirror is the only face you feed When the love turns inward and forgets its neighbours And calls its isolation being free We are not islands - we were never meant to be Every person walking carries their own storm And the ones who seem like they have got it easy Are the ones still fighting just to feel the norm [Pre-Chorus – saxophone dominant, three voices humming beneath] So I choose to see myself with open eyes Without the cruelty and without the lie And then I choose to turn those same eyes outward Because your life is just as real as mine [Chorus – Full symphonic soul metal surge, three voices full and warm] One life - and it's yours Every scar - and it's yours Every morning you woke up and kept going Every time you almost didn't - that's yours But one life means we share this world together Every stranger carries what you'll never see So love yourself enough to love your neighbour That's not weakness - that's what strong looks like to me [Three female voices rising] Mmmmm... we are enough... Ahhhh... we are enough... [Bridge – Rhodes piano alone, warm and bare, just the keys breathing] [Tenor saxophone enters solo - no band, just the horn speaking, raw and human, the most honest sound in the room] [Three female voices enter softly beneath the saxophone - wordless, holding] Mmmm... Ahhhh... Mmmm... Ahhhh... [Male vocal, quiet as a decision being made] You don't have to earn the right to be here You don't have to shrink to fit the space You just have to show up - keep on showing And extend that grace to every other face [Saxophone swells - the same melody, warmer, resolved] [Metal guitars return luminous and purposeful] [Full Rhodes and soul groove ignite beneath] [FINAL CHORUS – Full soul metal detonation, saxophone soaring, three voices at full passionate height] One life - live it yours Every scar - they are yours Every morning you woke and chose to keep going That courage is yours - it was always yours And one life shared with open eyes and open hands Is worth a thousand lived behind a wall So love yourself like someone worth the loving And love the ones who are trying - love them all [Three female voices - full, warm, the whole room] Mmmmm - YOU ARE ENOUGH Ahhhh - WE ARE ENOUGH Mmmmm - YOU ARE ENOUGH Ahhhh - ALL IN [Outro - Metal retreats, drums fade to soul groove, guitars dissolve] [Rhodes alone - warm, unhurried, the late night kitchen table] [Tenor saxophone returns - the opening melody, at peace now] [Three female voices hum softly above, fading like breath] [Rhodes and saxophone together - fading into the sound of a window open, the world outside, waiting]
