The Game

[Verse] Fireflies lighting up the dark Whisper secrets through the park Dreams are shadows on the wall Catch them quick before they fall [Verse 2] Echoes find an ancient tune Dancing under a silver moon Hands are reaching out to time Tracing stars in crooked lines [Chorus] Golden days come back to me Through the haze I'm wild and free Sing the songs we used to know Let the memories softly glow [Verse 3] Raindrops on an old piano Playing chords we used to follow Every note a story told From a time of hearts so bold [Bridge] Night and day they blend as one Moments lost yet never gone In the silence hear the call Of the golden Era de Oro [Chorus] Golden days come back to me Through the haze I'm wild and free Sing the songs we used to know Let the memories softly glow

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Lead] Ethan, you beat me down, In that cold dark house, I wore my frown. Trapped with no food, nothing to gain, I remember the blood, I remember the pain. [Background] Oh, the pain, the pain, I remember the shame, oh the shame. [Chorus: Lead] But I stood up, I packed my bag, I ran, I ran, no more to drag. Finally free, I felt the tears, Falling down my face, washing away the fears. [Background] Run, girl, run, you’re breaking free, No more pain, it’s time to be me. Feel that breath, let it flow, After the dark, it’s time to glow. [Verse 2: Lead] You thought you could break me, Ethan, you tried, But deep in my soul, I felt my pride. Those bruises I covered, they marked my skin, But they’ll never define the strength within. [Background] Oh, the strength, the strength, It’s rising up, going to great lengths. [Chorus: Lead] But I stood up, I packed my bag, I ran, I ran, no more to drag. Finally free, I felt the tears, Falling down my face, washing away the fears. [Bridge: Lead] Remember the nights when darkness would creep, Ethan, you thought that you'd make me weep. I wanted to die, to fade away, But I found my voice; I’m here to stay. [Background] Stand tall, stand tall, breaking the chains, Ethan, you lost; I’ve conquered my pains. [Chorus: Lead] So I stood up, I packed my bag, I ran, I ran, no more to drag. Finally free, I felt the tears, Falling down my face, washing away the fears. [Outro: Lead] Ethan, you raped me, but I found my light, From the ashes I rise, I’ll keep up the fight. I can breathe now, I’m finally me, No more pain, I’m finally free. [Background] Yes, I’m free, oh I’m free, Ethan, you lost; I’m finally me. Yes, I’m free, oh I’m free, From the darkness, now I can see.

(Verse 1) It's the day I've dreamed of, can’t believe it’s here, Little Leo's strutting, in his tux, oh so dear. The sun is shining bright, butterflies in my chest, Dad’s hand on my shoulder, he whispers, "You’re blessed." (Chorus) Oh, my heart’s racing fast, but I know it’s all right, When our eyes finally meet, everything feels so right. I'm marrying the man I’ve always dreamed of, In my black velvet dress, I’m ready for our love. (Verse 2) Remember our first dance, in that high school gym? The scent of summer roses, just you and me. You laughed when I tripped, said, “Love, it’s okay,” Now I’m walking to you, on this special day. (Chorus) Oh, my heart’s racing fast, but I know it’s all right, When our eyes finally meet, everything feels so right. I'm marrying the man I’ve always dreamed of, In my black velvet dress, I’m ready for our love. (Verse 3) The music starts to play, I take a breath in deep, With every step I take, my heart’s a joyful leap. That first sweet kiss we shared, by the lake so blue, Now it’s time to say I do, and start my life with you. (Chorus) Oh, my heart’s racing fast, but I know it’s all right, When our eyes finally meet, everything feels so right. I'm marrying the man I’ve always dreamed of, In my black velvet dress, I’m ready for our love. (Bridge) As I walk down that aisle, I see forever’s light, In this moment, I know, everything will be right. With the taste of sweet champagne and laughter in the air, I’m ready for the rest of my life, knowing you’ll be there. (Chorus) Oh, my heart’s racing fast, but I know it’s all right, When our eyes finally meet, everything feels so right. I'm marrying the man I’ve always dreamed of, In my black velvet dress, I’m ready for our love. (Outro) So here’s to forever, with you holding my hand, Together we’ll write our story, just like we planned. With little Leo by our side, we’ll dance through the years, In this black dress, I’m yours, let’s chase away our fears.

[Verse] Nandan my love you make me whole In your eyes I see my soul Your laughter is my morning sun With you my life's a run [Verse 2] Darling you are my guiding light In dark times you shine so bright Your smile can chase the clouds away With you I find my way [Chorus] You are my heartbeat every day In your embrace I want to stay Nandan my world you fill with joy My heart you do employ [Verse 3] You are my dreams both night and day In your arms I want to lay Every moment spent with you Is a love so pure and true [Bridge] Nandan my soul you are my song With you forever I belong Your voice like music to my ears Dissolves my every fear [Chorus] You are my heartbeat every day In your embrace I want to stay Nandan my world you fill with joy My heart you do employ

Verse 1: The world was heavy, the nights were cold, Dreams felt distant, stories untold. But somewhere deep inside, a spark was waiting, A quiet voice, softly creating. Pre-Chorus: Through every fall, I found my ground, Through every silence, heard the sound. It whispers now, like morning light, "Don’t look back; step into the fight." Chorus: Rise and shine, it’s time to move, The only thing to prove is to you. Every scar, every tear you’ve cried, Built the strength you hold inside. Rise and shine, this life is yours, Open the windows, unlock the doors. No looking back, no place to hide, Rise and shine, let the world collide. Verse 2: The fear, the doubt, they fade away, As shadows bow to the break of day. And every breath is a brand-new chance, To step into your own dance. Pre-Chorus: The echoes call, they’re clear and true, No one else can be you but you. The time has come, the stars align, Take that step—this is your sign. Chorus: Rise and shine, it’s time to move, The only thing to prove is to you. Every scar, every tear you’ve cried, Built the strength you hold inside. Rise and shine, this life is yours, Open the windows, unlock the doors. No looking back, no place to hide, Rise and shine, let the world collide. Bridge: It’s not about perfection, it’s about the climb, Not the destination, but the rhythm of time. Every moment’s a lesson, every heartache a gift, When you rise, the world shifts. Oh yeah oh Final Chorus (Soft to Powerful): Rise and shine, let the light break through, The only thing to prove is to you. Every scar, every tear you’ve cried, Built the strength you hold inside. Rise and shine, the day is new, The world will see what lives in you. No looking back, no place to hide, Rise and shine, let your heart decide. Outro: Rise and shine, it’s all so clear, The life you’ve built starts here. Step into the day, let yourself align, This is your moment—rise and shine.
