Lament of the mapmaker

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] In the heart of the wild we gather 'round again With kayaks in the water we ride the rolling rain Hiking up the mountains where eagles learn to soar Every step a story every trail we score [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land [Verse 2] Tents are homes beneath the twilight beams In the wilderness we're chasing dreams Climbing cliffs with hands so bold Every rock a secret told [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land [Bridge] Kayaks gliding through the misty dawn Every paddle stroke a new adventure born From sunrise hikes to twilight's song In the scouts we all belong [Chorus] Campfire nights where stars ignite Tales of climbing to the heights Tents and laughter under skies so grand In the scouts we roam this land

Birthday Song for Brother (Verse 1) You’re a beautiful soul, inside and out, Sab friends ki jaan, no room for doubt. Office mein tu sab ka favourite hai, Teri baatein sab ke dil tak jaati hai. Tu kum bolta hai, par samajhta hai, Ladta bahut hai, phir bhi pyara lagta hai. Pyaar dikhata nahi, par har jagah jatata hai, Zindagi ke har rishtey mein rang bhar jaata hai. (Chorus) Happy Birthday to you, our shining star, Teri yaadon ka safar hai bekaar bina pyaar. Dream house banaya, sab ko proud kiya, Mom aur Dad ka tu sapna poora kiya. (Verse 2) You love to make every day more special, With thoughtful gestures, it’s always magical. Black and blue teri kapdon ki shine, Latest tech ke saath tu hai always in line. Bring smiles to faces, tu karta hai kaam, Helping people in need, tu sabka insaan. Blessings deta hai, blessings leta hai, Dil se har kisi ka support karta hai. (Chorus) Happy Birthday to you, oh trendsetter, Tera future hamesha banega better. Ab sab karte hain teri shaadi ka wait, Khushiyo se bhara ho tera har ek gate. (Bridge) Mom is proud, par pyaar kabhi dikhai nahi, Dad tujhse khush hain, yeh baat samjhi. Hamesha khush reh, aage badhta ja, Zindagi mein naye sapne saakar kar pa. (Outro) Happy Birthday, tu sabka pyara, Tere bina yeh safar lagta hai adhoora. Smile karte reh, tu sabko khush rakhe, Teri jagah dil mein, koi aur na rakhe.

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 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 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 tears 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 I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true 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 I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

He caught you, in his orbit Your feet off the floor, you didn’t mind it You circled there, around his sun A solar flare, and now it’s done We’ve all been there before When you need, give me a call I’ll catch you, before you fall You can cry about, what you lost Your fated love, star crossed You hold your breath, i’ll hold your hand

[Verse] Empty room sings to me Shadows dance where you used to be Memories like broken glass Can't escape our shattered past [Verse 2] Whispers haunt me late at night Words we spoke in dimmed twilight Fading stars from skies we knew Now all I see is shades of blue [Chorus] Shattered echoes fill my heart Can't believe we fell apart Every tear a song of woe In this world I'm left alone [Verse 3] Lonely streets we walked before Now they're just a corridor Leading to a place unknown Where I'm left to grieve alone [Chorus] Shattered echoes fill my heart Can't believe we fell apart Every tear a song of woe In this world I'm left alone [Bridge] Wish upon a broken star Dreams are fragile as they are Searching for a hint of light In the dark of endless night

I hear your voice in the wind, Whispering softly in my ear Carrying your words to me A message of love, so pure and dear I feel your presence all around A comforting embrace As the breeze gently touches my skin I can almost see your face I hear your voice in the breeze, A gentle murmur in the trees, Speaking to me of calm and peace, A reminder of our cherished memories. The rustling leaves echo your words, Carrying them to my heart, Filling me with warmth and comfort, A feeling that will never depart. I hear your voice in the rain, A symphony that soothes my pain. Whispering secrets of the universe, Filling my soul with a heavenly verse. As the rain washes away my tears, I feel you near again, A balm to soothe my weary soul, A love that will never end. I hear your voice in the howling storm Your voice speaks to me, loud and clear And in the quiet before the dawn, It washes away my doubts and fears. For the days we spent together, In laughter and in sweet songs, In moments divine and tender Every breath I take is filled with you, So I listen for your voice, In every whisper, every plea, Everything that I hold dear In every sound that surrounds me, For I know you’re always near.

第一段 抱歉讓你陪著我，承受我的疲憊 不是你的錯，是我抓不住完美 多想停在你身邊，可心卻成了負累 在說再見之前，讓我最後叫你一聲寶貝 副歌 你說晚安的語氣，還是那麼溫柔 我曾妄想和你去到太空漫遊 再一起看夕陽，吹海邊的晚風 如今卻只能在夢裡，對你伸出手 第二段 如果愛是一場雨，我願淋成透徹 哪怕換來的，只是短暫的炙熱 那些計劃的未來，終究無法拼湊 我只能偷偷把它，藏進每首歌 副歌 你說晚安的語氣，還是那麼溫柔 我曾妄想和你去到太空漫遊 再一起看夕陽，吹海邊的晚風 如今卻只能在夢裡，對你伸出手 結尾 就算告別的路有多苦多難走 我會記得你給的，那片星空的溫柔 最後一次叫你寶貝，藏在心底守候 即使天涯海角，再也不能回頭

[Verse] 記憶像星辰在夜空閃爍 每一顆都寫滿你的輪廓 曾牽著的手像風輕輕掠過 抓不住，卻又不想放脫 [Chorus] 你是我生命裡最美的風景 卻只能遠遠看著不敢靠近 愛像月光灑滿夜的孤寂 明知道會心痛卻還捨不得清醒 [Verse] 夢裡的笑容如水中月影 輕輕觸碰卻感受不到溫馨 回憶像潮水一波波來去 但心裡的痛卻難以平靜 [Bridge] 我在心裡建了一座城 每扇窗都開向你的聲音 但我知道這愛是一場夢境 醒來後只有空白的天明 [Chorus] 你是我生命裡最美的風景 卻只能遠遠看著不敢靠近 愛像月光灑滿夜的孤寂 明知道會心痛卻還捨不得清醒 [Closing Verse] 在夢的盡頭不再有光影 只有我和回憶在那裡叨叨絮語 每一個夜晚都在思念中渡過 因為夢裡的你依然讓我心醉心迷
