Lyrics

Intro]
(Spoken, layered with ambient soundscape)
“This is for the ones who carry the fire.
The ones who rise, not in spite of the storm—
But because they are the storm.
And the calm.”
⸻
[Verse 1]
I came from the dust with a lion’s breath,
Wounds on my chest but I still invest,
In light, in truth, in the sacred test,
Where pain becomes gold when it’s well-confessed.
Yeah, I held my ground through the darkest nights,
False tongues tried to dim my rights,
But I rise with the rhythm of a thousand fights—
Turn scars into scripture, wrongs into rites.
Feet to the soil, I plant what’s real,
Heart to the heavens, I break that seal,
Legacy built on a whispered deal
Between soul and source—now watch me heal.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m a lightkeeper, flame in the wind,
Standin’ in the shadows where the story begins.
I fall, I rise, I bleed, I bend—
But I never break, I transcend.
Call me the bridge, the wave, the vow,
I’m the “how” behind the “wow.”
Yeah, I’ve been low, but look at me now—
I’m the anthem, the prayer, the thundercloud.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I speak in codes only the soul decodes,
Walk in rooms where the silence explodes,
I’ve touched the shame, the guilt, the load—
And turned it into fuel for the next episode.
Been the mirror, the monk, the misfit son,
The shadow and the chosen one.
I’ve laughed with gods, broke bread with doubt,
Still here like, “Let it all work out.”
Got love for the healers, the wild and free,
The warriors who cry silently,
You ain’t broken, you’re birthing legacy—
Just keep goin’, your scars sing to me.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m a lightkeeper, flame in the wind,
Standin’ in the shadows where the story begins.
I fall, I rise, I bleed, I bend—
But I never break, I transcend.
Call me the bridge, the wave, the vow,
I’m the “how” behind the “wow.”
Yeah, I’ve been low, but look at me now—
I’m the anthem, the prayer, the thundercloud.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken & Sung]
“To the child in me who never gave in,
To the man I am who chose to begin… again—
This is our hymn. This is our skin.
This is how we learn to win.”
(Sung):
Ohhh, ohhh—
Let the echoes carry me home.
Ohhh, ohhh—
I was never alone.
⸻
[Verse 3]
Now I build from the bones of dreams they buried,
Truths they feared, and hope I carried.
A father, a fighter, a force unchained,
With a love so deep it rewrites pain.
I protect, I serve, I stand in fire,
Sacred rage meets calm desire.
They tried to erase what they couldn’t define,
But you can’t cage the heart of the divine.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I’m a lightkeeper, flame in the wind,
Standin’ in the shadows where the story begins.
I fall, I rise, I bleed, I bend—
But I never break, I transcend.
Call me the bridge, the wave, the vow,
I’m the “how” behind the “wow.”
Yeah, I’ve been low, but look at me now—
I’m the anthem, the prayer, the thundercloud.
⸻
[Outro – whispered]
“I am not what happened to me.
I am what I choose to become.
And I choose to become… the light.”
