[Verse 1] A red mark burned beneath the village stone You learned to laugh so no one saw you alone A bowl gone cold, a name they wouldn’t say Still you tied the orange cloth and faced the day [Pre-Chorus] Every locked door taught your hands to fight Every cruel stare fed the spark at night You carried ghosts no child should ever know Then made a vow the whole world felt below [Chorus] Run, Naruto, through the hollow dark Turn that lonely ache into a blazing mark If the night says you were born to lose Stand up, let the hidden fire choose No throne, no crown, just a promise you defend The boy they feared becomes the friend who won’t bend [Verse 2] A silver voice said, “Look me in the eye” A fox-shaped storm kept breathing underneath the sky You found a brother in a rival’s rage And wrote forgiveness on a battlefield page [Pre-Chorus] When the dead called out from beneath the rain You answered back with every scar and name Not because the pain had disappeared You walked straight through it, and it disappeared [Chorus] Run, Naruto, through the hollow dark Turn that lonely ache into a blazing mark If the night says you were born to lose Stand up, let the hidden fire choose No throne, no crown, just a promise you defend The boy they feared becomes the friend who won’t bend [Bridge] Nine cold tails behind your eyes Old hatred wearing many lives But you are more than what was sealed More than every wound concealed When the whole world trembles at the edge You make a bridge from every broken pledge [Final Chorus] Run, Naruto, let the black clouds part Carry every outcast like a second heart If the night says hope is just a ruse Stand up, let the hidden fire choose No throne, no crown, just a promise you defend The boy they feared becomes the friend who won’t bend [Outro] At dawn, the village says your name Not as a joke, not as a stain The lonely child who would not fall Now hears his answer through them all
