The Real in You

Some think you’re the echo in a crowded hall A voice they barely hear at all Others claim you’re thunder in the floor Never still, becoming more and more One sees your eyes as frozen skies Another swears they’re sunlit rise Each story tinted in borrowed hue But only you can name what’s true They stretch your shape, redraw your frame Tint your soul and shift your name But when the noise folds into night The one you hold remains in sight There’s only one real in you Beyond the tales they think are true They can paint you in their light But you alone decide what’s right You won’t be scripted by their hand You’ll blaze across uncharted land A thousand faces without a clue None can touch the real in you To some, you’re a path that thins away To some, a spark that guides the stray Some call you anchor in the light Others, a murmur lost from sight Every glance writes another skin Every word tries to pull you in Yet through their sketches, you still know The roots they miss are yours to grow They stretch your shape, redraw your frame Tint your soul and shift your name But when the noise folds into night The one you hold remains in sight There’s only one real in you Beyond the tales they think are true They can paint you in their light But you alone decide what’s right You won’t be scripted by their hand You’ll blaze across uncharted land A thousand faces without a clue None can touch the real in you Let them score with borrowed lines You’ll rewrite what they define Every version they invent Fades beneath your true intent There’s only one real in you Beyond the tales they think are true They can paint you in their light But you alone decide what’s right You won’t be scripted by their hand You’ll blaze across uncharted land A thousand faces without a clue None can touch the real in you A thousand versions fade and bend But yours’s the one that shapes the end ✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️ Lyrics © 2025 Thousand Tomorrows.
