Lyrics

*[Intro: Spoken Word]**
*(Whispered over sounds of rain and distant choir)*
*"I see you... behind that smile. The world moves on, but your heart stays there—in that moment when love left. Tonight... let me tell you a secret..."*

*(Sound of a heartbeat fading into melancholic piano arpeggio)*

---

### **[Verse 1]**
*Midnight paints your walls with shadows,*
*Dancing with ghosts of "forever"s untrue...*
*That mirror lies—it shows you broken,*
*But angels whisper: "They never knew you..."*

### **[Pre-Chorus]**
*(Voice grows tense, like in "Who Is It")*
*Ohhh... how could they steal your light?*
*Leaving fingerprints on your soul...*
*But the stars—oh the stars still remember,*
*The way you shone before the fall...*

### **[Chorus: MJ-Style Power]**
*(Multi-layered vocals, like in "Earth Song")*
**YOU’RE STILL HERE!** *(echo)*
*Though the world turned cold as stone...*
**LOVE SURVIVES!** *(whisper)*
*In the cracks where hope still grows...*
*They may call you "foolish", call you "weak",*
*But heaven hears the words you don’t speak...*

---

### **[Verse 2]**
*Photographs bleed through the pages,*
*Time moves funny when the heart’s in chains...*
*That empty space beside you screaming,*
*But listen close—it’s calling your name...*

### **[Orchestral Breakdown]**
*(Sudden silence—then cellos and choir á la "Will You Be There")*
*"Who told you love was a battlefield?*
*Who taught you tears mean you’ve lost?*
*The greatest strength... is loving after pain..."*

---

### **[Bridge: Raw Emotion]**
*(Voice breaks, like in "Give In to Me")*
*So SCREAM if you need to!*
*Let the rain hide your war!*
*But don’t you DARE stop believing,*
*That love waits at the door...*

*(Thunder, sound of shattering glass—then complete silence for 2 beats)*

---

### **[Final Chorus: Gospel Triumph]**
*(Full orchestra + gospel choir)*
**YOU’RE STILL HERE!**
*And the night won’t last forever...*
**LOVE LIVES ON!**
*In the echoes of your laughter...*
*So take my hand,*
*Through the fire, through the sorrow,*
*Tomorrow’s song begins...*
***...after the storm.***

*(Outro: sound of doves taking flight, transitioning into music box—like in "Childhood")*
