Strong All Along

[Verse] I was born in a small-town haze Raised on movies with the hottest craze Opened the screen found a world of play Hooked on the thrill of the scenes so gay [Verse 2] Momma said son keep your heart pure and true But I found my love in a different view Out on the streets where the wild men roam Found my spirit and a place to call home [Chorus] Porn in the USA I was dreamin" of passion every day Porn in the USA Shoutin" it loud in my own proud way [Verse 3] From California to the New York nights Flashing lights and the city sights Danced to the rhythm of my own heartbeat Made for the stage where the wild ones meet [Bridge] Hey now world can you hear me roar Living my truth never backin" from the door Strutting my stuff in the bright spotlight Loving who I love every single night [Chorus] Porn in the USA Feeling the freedom in every sway Porn in the USA Rock the world in this grand ballet

[Verse] City lights burn wild streets Voices clash blue smoke and heat Empty bottles lost in night Shattered dreams dead-end fight [Verse 2] Bones and ashes broken pride Fast lanes swallow up the ride Rusty chains freedom"s fake Trapped inside no escape [Chorus] Scream and shout till voices break Rise above for freedom"s sake Wasted youth shadows fall Crashing down we hear the call [Verse 3] Wheels turn steel grinds rust Every heartbeat pounding dust Neon glows promise lies Through the pain we realize [Bridge] Echoes rage in alley"s breath Desperate souls face the death Bound by strings puppets play Seeking truth lost in the fray [Chorus] Scream and shout till voices break Rise above for freedom"s sake Wasted youth shadows fall Crashing down we hear the call

I’ve walked through fire, felt the burn, Every scar’s a lesson that I’ve earned. Doubt may whisper, but I shout loud, I rise from ashes, stronger than the crowd. Feel the weight, it’s lifting me higher, Every struggle fuels my inner fire. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, With every heartbeat, I’ll claim my beat. Feel the weight, it’s lifting me higher, Every struggle fuels my inner fire. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, With every heartbeat, I’ll claim my beat. Cracks in the armor, signs of the fight, But through the darkness, I’ll find the light. With open arms, I embrace the fall, I’ll rise up, rise high, standing tall. Feel the weight, it’s lifting me higher, Every struggle fuels my inner fire. I won’t back down, I won’t retreat, With every heartbeat, I’ll claim my beat. I’m a fighter, I’m a dreamer, Chasing shadows, I’m a believer. Through the storms and through the pain, I’ve found my strength, I won’t be the same. I’m alive, I’m alive, Every fall just helps me thrive. I’ll take the leap, I’ll take the dive, With every challenge, I survive!

[Strophe 1] Sufjan Zuberi 14 Jahre jung Kleiner Junge doch mit großem Schwung In Zwicky kennt ihn jedes Kind Weil er immer voller Leben ist und lacht im Wind [Refrain] Oh Sufjan du kleiner Held Dein Mut erstrahlt wie ein Sternenfeld Mit jedem Lächeln bringst du Licht Ein Herz aus Gold das niemals bricht [Strophe 2] Mit jedem Tag die Welt entdeckst Selbst in Dunkelheit du uns erweckst Freunde finden in deinem Licht Frieden finden wenn du sprichst [Refrain] Oh Sufjan du kleiner Held Dein Mut erstrahlt wie ein Sternenfeld Mit jedem Lächeln bringst du Licht Ein Herz aus Gold das niemals bricht [Bridge] Hände greifen nach den Sternen Träume folgen ohne Hemmen Mit dir wird jeder Tag ein Fest Du kleiner Held der niemals lässt [Refrain] Oh Sufjan du kleiner Held Dein Mut erstrahlt wie ein Sternenfeld Mit jedem Lächeln bringst du Licht Ein Herz aus Gold das niemals bricht

[Verse] Rollin" with my crew we"re tight like family Late night adventures livin" wild and free Got a cooler packed and the radio’s loud We’re the kings and queens of this reckless crowd [Verse 2] City lights blur as we speed down the lane Windows rolled down we"re chasing that thrill again Secrets and laughter under neon signs Nobody can stop us when the stars align [Chorus] We"re alive spirits high hearts on fire Chasing dreams with the wind lifting us higher Unchained rebels dancing in the night Together we"re unstoppable out of sight [Verse 3] Bonfire glow as we sing to the moon Our voices echo out breaking the gloom Friendships that sparkle bright like morning sun Life"s a ride and we’ve only just begun [Bridge] No limits can hold us we"re forever free In this moment we find our destiny Sky’s the limit we got nowhere to be Boundless and bold let"s rewrite history [Chorus] We"re alive spirits high hearts on fire Chasing dreams with the wind lifting us higher Unchained rebels dancing in the night Together we"re unstoppable out of sight

[Verse] From the mountains to the rolling plain, In the heart where freedom reigns, Under skies so wide and blue, Here"s a land that"s always true. [Chorus] Oh, Land of the Free Heart, Where dreams are never far apart, Together we stand, never to part, Forever loyal, right from the start. [Verse] Where the rivers flow so pure and clear, Every season holds us dear, Fields of gold that shimmer bright, In our land, everything feels right. [Chorus] Oh, Land of the Free Heart, Where dreams are never far apart, Together we stand, never to part, Forever loyal, right from the start. [Verse] In the towns where people smile, We"ll go the extra mile, Help our neighbors, lend a hand, We are proud of our blessed land. [Chorus] Oh, Land of the Free Heart, Where dreams are never far apart, Together we stand, never to part, Forever loyal, right from the start.

I’m standing at the edge, just watching the sky, Dreams in my pocket, but they’re wearing thin, why? Took all the chances, some flew, some fell, I guess I’ll count the scars that I won’t ever tell. I spent too long waiting, thought it would all click, But life’s a puzzle that don’t fit with tricks. I asked for answers, but they just left me here, Staring at the road, filled with smoke and fear. Oh, I’ve been running with my eyes closed tight, But the echoes in the rearview call me through the night. All the places I’ve been, all the things I’ve done, Am I who I am, or just a race I’ve won? The clock’s been ticking, like it’s counting me out, I’m fighting for a future, but I’m lost in doubt. Made a million choices, thought I knew what’s right, Now I’m stuck in the middle, with no end in sight. I wear my mistakes like they’re medals on my chest, Like some twisted badge for every half-assed quest. I’m not the hero, but I’m not the fool, I’ve been learning, but I’m breaking all the rules. Oh, I’ve been running with my eyes closed tight, But the echoes in the rearview call me through the night. All the places I’ve been, all the things I’ve done, Am I who I am, or just a race I’ve won? I’m not afraid to fail, but I don’t know how to win, I’m running in circles, but I’m starting to spin. The future’s a mystery, the past’s just a game, I’m trying to break free, but I’m still feeling the same. Oh, I’ve been running with my eyes closed tight, But the echoes in the rearview call me through the night. All the places I’ve been, all the things I’ve done, Am I who I am, or just a race I’ve won? So here’s to the road I’ll never forget, To the hopes that burn and the things I regret. I’ll keep moving forward, but I’ll never outrun, The echoes in the rearview—they’re never gone.

Wakes up early with a tune in his head Picks up his guitar, lets the riff spread Switches to drums, lays down the groove Got a hundred ideas before his third bowel move. (needs a doctor) Emails fly, texts roll in Another track, man, where do we begin From metal to blues, funk to the soul Hybrew won’t stop ‘til he’s sent ‘em in (click to receive) Hybrew’s got a million songs More jams than college kids smoke bongs Guitar’s on fire, drums keep the time Flooding your phone with another rhyme (look in the mirror and whine, saggy boobs is a crime) Family group chat’s blowin up again (never included) New demo sent to every friend Some say genius, most say insane you know You click that the thing replay it again and again (share and subscribe) Emails fly, texts roll in Another track, man, where do we begin From country to jazz, doom to punk Hybrew won’t stop. there"s a jam called thunk"d (Soundcloud check it out) Hybrew’s got a million songs Hell,every day, he"s got another one. Guitar’s on fire, phone alert again at night Flooding your phone annoying alright. (nobody ever replies) He don’t need no label deal Ain’t going for fame, just recording what’s real (I thought I had talent) One man band with a dream so strong By the time you reply, he’s got three more songs (throw noodles on the wall see what sticks) One day gone, five tracks made Another riff and musical tracks laid. Hybrew’s still jammin’ with no end in sight Better check your inbox, he sent one last night. Mosquitos get raid and maybe I"ll get paid. Like old school mafia maybe I"ll get made.
