Rising Skyline

{atmospheric felt piano, ambient

synth pad, distant cinematic strings,

solemn but resolute atmosphere} (hmmmm)

I came from broken roads nobody could see,

Had to build a home from pieces left of me.

Every scar became another stepping stone,

Now I’m chasing dreams instead of running home.

Kitchen lights before the sunrise every day,

Working hard while bigger dreams don’t fade away.

People only see the smile on my face,

Never saw the storms I had to brave.

{intimate emotional male spoken-rap delivery,

subtle kick pulse begins,

ticking clock percussion} I refuse to let my story end in gray,

Every setback only showed another way.

{vocal swells with determination,

cinematic orchestral drums start to roll,

staccato strings rising} I’m still climbing,

even when the sky turns black.

Every time I fall,

I find another path.

I’m not finished, there’s a fire in my soul.

One more mountain, one more dream,

one more goal. You can doubt me if you want,

I’ll still rise. Hope is something no one can compromise.

{explosive cinematic drum drop,

soaring anthemic male vocal,

distorted guitar power chords,

roaring strings}

Emma running through the fields beside my feet,

Hanna always makes the hardest days feel sweet.

Waterfalls remind me life keeps moving on,

Even rivers carve through mountains over time.

I don’t need a mansion just to feel alive,

Just some peace, a little love,

and room to thrive.

If tomorrow opens up another door,

I’ll walk through it stronger than before.

{sudden drop in dynamic,

acoustic piano and warm cello,

rhythmic head-nodding boom-bap hip hop beat enters} The world can tell me

no a thousand times,

But I was built to outlast all the nights.

My past is just the chapter,

not the end. Watch me write the rest with both my hands.

{vocal switches to intense,

high-energy rapid-fire rap delivery,

massive

drum rolls building, guitars whining} I’m still climbing,

watch the sunrise paint the sky.

Every dream I carry keeps my hope alive.

I’m still standing,

even after every fall.

This is only

just the beginning of it all.

{gargantuan full orchestra drop,

screaming emotional guitar solo under voice,

double-tracked vocal chorus, maximum

power} {drums cut out,

solo emotional piano, soft fading strings,

vocal breathing out} (still climbing...) (still climbing...) {fade to

silence}
