```[Song Title: "Next Time"] [Intro: Soft Piano, Jazzy Drum Loop] I’ve fallen, I’ve risen, I’ve crawled through the rain, Every stumble left a lesson carved in my veins. The weight of my choices, the cost of the climb, But every misstep whispers, "You’ll do better next time." [Pause, piano continues to build.] [Verse 1: Introspective Delivery, Mid-Tempo] I remember the fall, hit the ground with a sound, Echoes of doubt circling, pulling me down. Shattered pride in the mirror, shards of regret, But a spark lit the dark—I’m not finished yet. I stitched up the wounds with words and resolve, Each rhyme a thread, every beat absolves. From ashes to actions, I’m forging my prime, This cycle’s my furnace; I’ll do better next time. [Chorus: Dynamic, Soulful Vocal Layers] Next time, I’ll rise higher, I’ll shine brighter, Turn the pain into power, be my own fighter. Next time, no chains, I’m free, untamed, A phoenix in the flames, you’ll remember my name. Next time, next time, I’ll rewrite the climb, [Pause] I’ll do better next time. [Verse 2: Conversational Flow with Wordplay] Every L I’ve taken’s been a step in disguise, Losses aren’t losses, they’re lessons in disguise. I’ve danced with my demons, slow-stepped through fear, But every move forward made my purpose clear. I’ve painted my pain on a canvas of beats, Transformed every failure into lyrical feats. The cracks in my armor now shimmer with rhyme, My growth is my anthem; I’ll do better next time. [Bridge: Emotional Build, Choir Backing Vocals] [Softly] I’ve been broken, but I’m not defined, [Gradual rise] By the moments I’ve stumbled, or the tears I’ve cried. [Choir joins] Each scar’s a story, each bruise a line, Of a song still unwritten, of strength I’ll find. The echoes of failure now fuel my climb, I’m climbing, I’m shining, I’m rewriting time. Let the rhythm remind me, with every rhyme, [Pause] I’ll do better next time. [Chorus: Full Energy with Ad-Libs] Next time, I’ll rise higher, I’ll shine brighter, Turn the pain into power, be my own fighter. Next time, no chains, I’m free, untamed, A phoenix in the flames, you’ll remember my name. Next time, next time, I’ll rewrite the climb, [Pause] I’ll do better next time. [Outro: Gentle Fade, Piano and Strings] The climb never ends, but neither do I, Every fall’s a whisper, a reason to try. My story’s still turning, each page a new sign, [Pause, whispered] I’ll do better next time. ```
