I was told not to dream too loud That hopes like mine should be put down Told to grow up, make something real But how do I silence what I feel? [Verse 1: Verse begins quiet, gentle vocal delivery] I drew in corners of a worn notebook Faces and futures that never took I sang to shadows in my room Where no one said, "You can make it soon" They said, “Pretty’s not enough for fame” “Girls like you’ll burn out in the rain” So I built worlds with wire and thread Made magic from the tears I shed (“Ahh... yeah”) [Chorus: Strings and beat swell, vocals soar] Somewhere, somehow, someone like me Is rising up from broken dreams If I could reach just one lost soul Then maybe I’ve found my true role In pages, pen, and written word I made my hurt be heard And I believe — yeah, I believe — That little girl in me ... is learning to breathe [Verse 2: Drums subtle, vocals steadier, warmer] Mom said, “Don’t waste what won’t pay you back” “Dreams are for girls who have what you lack” But fear found me anyway So I wrote it into songs I’d play I watched the clouds and saw my truth My shelter from a world too cruel I carved it out in notes and clay Tried to feel like I’m okay ( “Tried to feel... mmm…”) [Chorus: More powerful, fuller harmony] Somewhere, somehow, someone like me Turned the silence into symphony If I can speak to hearts that hide Then I won’t need to run or lie With paper and pen and words of might I built a world that just feels right And I believe — yeah, I believe — That little girl will finally see ( “Will finally see… who she can be…”) [Bridge: Drop instrumentation, raw and emotional] She’s not weak, she’s just unheard Fighting fates with every word Cobwebs tangled in her mind Still she searches, still she climbs Sobs like thunder in her chest But she still hopes to be her best If someone else could just break through… She’d know that she’s worthy too ( “Ohhh... worthy too…”) [Final Chorus: Soft first half, then crescendo] Somewhere, somehow, someone like me Is daring now to just believe That what I felt was never wrong That I was worthy all along And maybe now she’ll find her peace In every song, in every piece I made for her, I set her free That little girl is finally… me ( “She’s me… yeah, she’s free…”) [Outro: gentle fade out, soft piano and strings] So I’ll keep writing, just in case Some other girl might need this grace And if she rises when she reads… Then I’ve become who I believed ( “I believed… mmm…”) Lyrical & Imagery Creation: Ginger Davila (Kitkumi Beats) © 2025 KKB All rights reserved
