Shadow Among Stars

[Verse] She held the mic like it was her heart Singing dreams that were torn apart In the spotlight But it wasn’t her name She gave it all but never found the fame [Verse 2] In the echo of guitars She’d fade Lost in chords and the music they played Her voice a shadow Soft and far A hidden melody among the stars [Chorus] And she sang with the fire of a thousand souls While the spotlight burned in someone else’s control Her dreams flew high but stayed so small A shadow among stars who gave it her all [Verse 3] They cheered for the others They took the stage She sang behind them Caged in her rage The crowd never knew of her secret fight Her voice a whisper in the dead of night [Bridge] And as the echoes drift away She hums the song she couldn’t play Her heartbeat’s rhythm Her only guide A star that flickers where dreams collide [Chorus] And she sang with the fire of a thousand souls While the spotlight burned in someone else’s control Her dreams flew high but stayed so small A shadow among stars who gave it her all
