[Instrumental Intro (gentle piano arpeggios, reverse reverb guitar swells, soft snare brushes, bass entering gradually like a heartbeat)] [Verse 1 (raspy vocal, intimate tone, piano and acoustic guitar lead)] You sang of peace, you sang of light Through darkest days, you gave us sight Your words still move the world to feel A dream once lost, now made real [Pre-Chorus (electric guitar layers rise, strings build softly beneath vocal)] You turned your pain into a song And taught the broken to be strong [Chorus (band swells—drums steady, choir harmonies, warm bass and open guitars)] The dream still lives, it never fades away Your voice still calls the world to brighter days The chords you played still heal the pain The love you gave still breaks the chain You left your truth in the air we breathe The dream still lives, it will not leave [Verse 2 (acoustic-driven, gentle harmonies echo like memory)] The world was cruel, but you stood tall You gave your heart, you gave your all A poet’s soul in every line A flame that burns beyond all time [Pre-Chorus (rising dynamic, light percussion and string swells)] You turned your pain into a song And taught the broken to be strong [Chorus (anthemic and emotional—strings soaring, drums open, full harmonies)] The dream still lives, it never fades away Your voice still calls the world to brighter days The chords you played still heal the pain The love you gave still breaks the chain You left your truth in the air we breathe The dream still lives, it will not leave [Bridge (spoken-sung tone over piano and cello)] You told us love was all we need And planted hope like a holy seed Your words still bloom in hearts that yearn For peace to come, for souls to learn [Instrumental (electric guitar solo—clean tone with delay, evoking melancholy and hope; strings swell and fade)] [Final Chorus (softer start, then crescendos—piano and choir lift, drums return in half-time)] The dream still lives, it never fades away Your voice still calls the world to brighter days The chords you played still heal the pain The love you gave still breaks the chain You left your truth in the air we breathe The dream still lives, it will not leave [Outro (solo piano fade, last chord sustained; whispered vocal: “love is still the answer…”)]
