I RISE (Nya-ya Awakening)

[Intro – soft tanpura drone + female vocalization] Aaah… naa… re… Nya… ya… nya-ya… (bansuri flute echoing) [Verse 1] I was lost in the silence Buried under what they said Every thought felt like a prison Every dream was left for dead But I felt a spark inside me Like a whisper in the dark Something ancient, something rising— Like a fire in my heart [Pre-Chorus – building with tabla] Hear it calling, feel it breathing Like a rhythm in my chest Every chain begins to shatter Every fear laid down to rest [Chorus – DROP with sitar lead] NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) From the ashes of my past NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) I am free at last Feel the fire in my soul I was broken, now I’m whole Hear the spirit when I cry— NYA-YA — I RISE [Drop – tabla + bass + vocal chops] Nya-ya! Nya-ya! (sitar riff + wobble bass) Nya-ya! Nya-ya! (female vocal chop: “Aa-re-na…”) [Verse 2] Every scar became a mantra Every wound a guiding light I was walking through the shadows Now I’m dancing in the night They can’t silence what is sacred They can’t cage what’s meant to be There’s a truth inside my spirit That was always calling me [Pre-Chorus – bigger, layered vocals] Feel it rising, never fading Like a drum beneath the skin Every step I take is freedom Every breath I take—I win [Chorus – stronger] NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) Nothing left to hold me down NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) I reclaim my crown Let it burn, let it glow I’m the truth I didn’t know Hear the heavens when I cry— NYA-YA — I RISE [Bridge – spiritual / minimal] I was never lost… Only waiting to awaken… (female vocal: soft alaap) The fire was always mine… [Final Drop – biggest, festival + Indian fusion] NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) Let the whole world hear my name NOW I RISE (Nya-ya! Nya-ya!) I will never be the same All together now— NYA-YA — I RISE
