Guiding Star

[Verse 1]
Here I stood, a ship lost in the storm
In a dim-lit bar where the shadows were born
Drowning the dark in a glass made of night
But something inside me still reached for the light

[Verse 2]
I was scared to fly with these broken wings
Haunted by echoes of unfinished things
But even the phoenix must burn to be free
And I heard a new song rising up in me

[Chorus]
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
Can you feel it now?
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
The dawn is breaking out
I see colours where the black used to be
There’s a symphony playing inside of me
Lift me up, lift me up, let the sky have its way
Turn the ashes to gold in the break of the day
I’m alive, I’m alive, and the whole world knows

[Post-Chorus]
Ohhh, I found my guiding star
Ohhh, it was never very far
Now I’m singing it loud in this unstoppable song

[Chorus Chant]
Hey! We’re gonna fly, gonna fly, tonight
Hey! With broken wings we’ll chase the light
Hey! Every lost soul, every wandering heart
We’re gonna shine, gonna shine like the stars

[Bridge]
You don’t have to hide the hurt anymore
Every crack is where the light gets poured
What felt like the end was only the start
Listen, the universe inside your heart

[Final Chorus]
Lift me up, lift me up, let the heavens roar
We were never too broken, never too far gone
From the ashes we rise in a chorus of gold
Every lost ship comes home
We’re gonna live forever in this song

[Outro]
And the night can keep its shadows
I’ve got music now
Yeah the night can keep its shadows
I’ve got love out loud
