(Intro: Atmospheric) (Orchestral strings swell softly, 3-step percussion kicks in with a deep, wooden knock. Distant children laughing) (Chant: Ah-ya, Ah-ya... We are rising) Verse 1 Ten years walking through the valley of the ghost Holding onto shadows, feeling like a ghost. The mirror was a liar, told me I was small But I heard a Voice calling through the wall. (God whispers louder...) (Whispers louder...) Pre-Chorus I’m stitching these scars into constellations Turning my pain into holy vibrations. Teaching my seeds how to reach for the sun The war is over, the healing's begun! Chorus (Heavy 3-Step beat drop – Cinematic Brass) I’m still here! Heart wide open, soul awake! Walking in the light, no more chains to break! I’m building a temple where the love is pure Where my babies sleep soft, and the peace is sure. (Gospel Chants: Siyabonga! We are free!) Verse 2 Trust is a garden, I’m pulling every weed Watering the spirit, planting every seed. It’s not a sprint, it’s a sacred slow dance Giving my reflection a second chance. (No shame, no rush... just grace.) Bridge (Beat strips back to just a heavy kick and cinematic strings) (Spoken/Chanted) Thank you for the fire that didn't consume me. Thank you for the strength that finally exhaled through me. I am the lighthouse. Steady. Warm. True. I’ll be the fortress they never have to run from. Outro I’m not broken... I’m a masterpiece in motion. (Gospel choir layering: Rebuilding! Protecting!) I’m not lost... I’m finally home. (Fade out with 3-step beat and a single, high violin note)
