[Verse] Remember when the bell would ring our hearts would sink so fast Teachers yell while chalk leaves marks each lesson fails to last We were kids with wide eyed dreams boxed up in rows so tight Imagining the things we'd do if we could take to flight [Chorus] Back to school oh what a joke they never taught us life Chasing grades and football games disguise the inner strife Sitting there with hidden thoughts of worlds beyond the walls In the end we teach ourselves and answer our own calls [Verse 2] Back in class we learned to doubt each question’s marked in red Endless facts that mean so little paths we never tread Skipping lunch to dodge the stress of fitting in the mold Life’s true lessons come from living not from what we’re told [Chorus] Back to school oh what a joke they never taught us life Chasing grades and football games disguise the inner strife Sitting there with hidden thoughts of worlds beyond the walls In the end we teach ourselves and answer our own calls [Bridge] But now we look behind the veil and see the flaws they ignored The things that really shape our days aren’t found on any board Remember when the chalk did fade and lessons turned to lore The heart and mind discover truths that classrooms can’t explore [Verse 3] Remember those old hallways filled with echoes of our youth We learned to love and fight and dream we stumbled on our truth Now we laugh at all those rules that tried to hold us down We fought back with defiant hearts and minds that can't be bound

[Verse] Tall buildings tall buildings they touch the sky I can see the cars and the planes that fly The people on the streets look like tiny toys Dogs and cats roaming while the city enjoys [Verse 2] Neon lights shining bright paint the night Targets in sight like a hawk on a flight Laughter echoes from the alleyways tight City's awake as the stars take flight [Chorus] Up here so high I can touch a cloud City below me whispers loud Moon plays hide and seek behind the shroud I raise my voice singing proud [Bridge] Soft breezes carry stories untold Concrete jungle with a heart of gold Silent dreams whisper secrets so bold In this city heights stories unfold [Verse 3] From dusk till dawn life never sits still Climbing higher higher chasing the thrill Windows light up like a thousand thrills Reflecting dreams and many more will [Chorus] Up here so high I can touch a cloud City below me whispers loud Moon plays hide and seek behind the shroud I raise my voice singing proud
[Instrumental]
When the winter winds start to blow, Eggnog’s warmth begins to grow, Spices swirl, the firelight gleams, A cosy candle, and holiday dreams! Nutmeg, cinnamon, creamy delight, Eggnog's magic feels just right, Glowing bright, everyone reveres! Bring everyone some holiday cheer! Eggnog , oh eggnog, such a delight Seasons Bright will fill the night, A flicker of warmth, a festive glow, Wrapped in joy, of the season's snow.
I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve planned out journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets that I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

[Verse] Хочу почувствовать на свободу за порогом весна Лететь как ветер в туман всё что мне нужно ты знаешь В мечтах бескрайних я нашёл ответы на все вопроса Туда где нет стен и цепей я стремлюсь вновь и вновь [Verse 2] Звуки ночи зовут меня свечи горят в темноте Небо в звёздах сияет ярко где-то там моя цель Шаг за шагом вперёд без страха за горизонтом свет Хочу уйти от всего что мешает найти ответ [Chorus] Свободный путь там где нет преград Я иду туда где светит звезда В сердце верю я настал мой час Свободный путь не удержать сейчас [Verse 3] Сломаны цепи ветра мне спутники все мечты Идти туда где новый день радость дарит рассветы Громким смехом встречать приключения и сюрпризы Хочу расправить крылья вновь чтобы парить ввысь [Bridge] Там где море безбрежное зовёт Где осколки звёзд дарят вдохновенье Я найду свои крылья и полечу Свобода в том чтобы всё обрести вновь [Chorus] Свободный путь там где нет преград Я иду туда где светит звезда В сердце верю я настал мой час Свободный путь не удержать сейчас

[male] Be near me when my light is low, When shadows deepen, winds won’t blow. When dreams unravel, thread by thread, And hope’s faint whispers fill my head. When every step feels like a fall, And silence echoes through it all. Be near me then, and hold me tight, A star to guide through endless night. [Chorus] Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [male] When blood creeps slow and nerves betray, And life itself seems far away. When every thought, a weight, a stone, And I am left to stand alone. Be near me when the voices fade, When shadows of rejection invade. Stay close, though I am bruised and torn, A spark remains where love was born. Chorus: Be near me now, when the world turns away, When my strength has faded, my heart gone astray. Oh, Oh, Oh Oh... Let your presence mend what’s broken in me, A light in the dark, a safe harbor at sea. [Male] For even when all wheels are slow, A deeper truth begins to grow. Through pain, through loss, the soul can rise, If hope stays near, it never dies. [Male] Be near me when my light is low, And I shall find the strength to go. Through every shadow, every scar, Hope will guide me, near or far.
[Instrumental]
Late night, staring at the ceiling, I’m lost again, Feelings creep in like shadows under my skin. Heart’s a little heavy, but I still pretend, I’m fine, yeah, I’m fine—guess it’s all pretend. Tried to paint the sky, but it stayed so grey, Running from the ghosts that I made my stay. In a world so loud, I don’t know what to say, Guess I’ll let the silence take me away. I’m blue, drowning in the waves I made, Caught between the lies and the mess I stayed. Lost in a dream, but the colors fade, I’m blue, yeah, I’m blue—it won’t go away. Every smile I wear is a mask for the fight, Every laugh hides the cracks from a sleepless night. I tried to hold on, but I’m losing the light, Falling through the cracks—man, it doesn’t feel right. Reaching for a hand, but there’s none in sight, Dancing with the dark till I lose my fight. Whispers in my head keep me company tonight, Yeah, the stars don’t shine when your heart’s so tight. I’m blue, drowning in the waves I made, Caught between the lies and the mess I stayed. Lost in a dream, but the colors fade, I’m blue, yeah, I’m blue—it won’t go away. But maybe there’s a way out, a light in the storm, A place I can breathe where my soul feels warm. If I take one step, can I find my form? Or will the blue just keep me torn? I’m blue, but I’m learning how to float again, Rising with the tide, let the healing begin. Colors creeping in where the blue had been, I’m blue, but someday, I’ll find the end.
[Verse] In the depth of it we stay close Holding hands through high and low Whispers in the night we boast Hearts that never lost their glow [Verse 2] Loving loud we make a scene Neon lights and city dreams Side by side the nights unfold Brave enough to break the mold [Chorus] In the depth of it feeling free This love's a carnival for you and me Seen by the stars we dance on high Through the depth of it touching sky [Verse 3] Through the hurdles we advance Every glance a sweet romance Unapologetic we fly Together reaching for the sky [Bridge] In this maze of love we're strong Find our way where we belong Through shadows we still pursue Every moment feels brand new [Chorus] In the depth of it feeling free This love's a carnival for you and me Seen by the stars we dance on high Through the depth of it touching sky
[Verse] Circles in the night we go Round and round you steal the show Lights above we've come alive Chasing moments we'll survive [Verse 2] On the edge we feel the rush City's hum and winter's hush Holding tight through ups and downs You and I we'll own this town [Chorus] Spin the wheel of dreams with me In this neon symphony We'll break free from every chain Ride the stars and feel no pain [Verse 3] Bridges burn yet we press on In the dark before the dawn Hear the echoes of our cries In our hearts we're never shy [Bridge] Turn the page we'll write our tale Through the storm we set sail Boundaries break beneath our feet In this world we're incomplete [Chorus] Spin the wheel of dreams with me In this neon symphony We'll break free from every chain Ride the stars and feel no pain
