They sold us freedom but the price was high
Fed us with promises and whispered lies
Said the land was sacred the dream was real
Now they got their hands on the spinning wheel

Eyes wide open can't you see
The chains that bind are meant to be

(Hey hey hey)

Oh they say you're free
But are you really?
Look around and see
Are you really free?

(Oh no oh no)

Every street corner every silent cry
Sounds of hope that’s been left to die
They broke the rules tore down the faith
Left us to wonder if it's all too late

Eyes wide open can't you see
The chains that bind are meant to be

(Whoa whoa whoa)

Oh they say you're free
But are you really?
Look around and see
Are you really free?

(Oh no oh no)

The truth is hidden in the light
Freedom's just a shadow fight

You can dream you can fight
But the cage is in your mind

(Na-na-na na-na-na)

do not be afraid
this is not fm
you're on filodyo

(Na-na-na na-na-na)
(Na-na-na na-na-na)
(Na-na-na na-na-na)
(Na-na-na na-na-na)

Verse 1:
Life throws its punches but I hold my ground
Emotions may rage but I won't be drowned
Through every trial I stand tall and strong
In the darkest hours I sing my own song

Chorus:
Self-control my guiding star
Through the chaos I'll go far
In the heat of battle I find my way
With inner strength I seize the day

Bridge:
In the quiet of my mind I find my peace
In life's whirlwind my worries cease
With every step I take command
Self-mastery my guiding hand

Outro:
So I stand resolute against the fray
With self-control I'll find my way
In life's dance I'll always strive
With unwavering resolve I'll thrive

Shadows paint the skyline moving like a carousel
Fingers trace the skyline secrets only we could tell
Through the hum of chaos found a rhythm found a spark
Pulling threads of silence weaving music in the dark

And the world fades like a worn-out photograph
Colors drain but I still feel the aftermath
Where the heart meets the unknown there’s a pulse we can’t ignore
Like a key turned in a lock we’re stepping through the door

This is our time unbroken unspoken
Gravity’s gone the tether is broken
Rising like the night won’t hold us down
We’re chasing stars in a quiet town

Waves of conversation ripple in electric streams
Voices carry miles riding currents crossing dreams
Maps dissolve to fragments but the compass pulls us in
Caught between the chaos and the quiet deep within

And the world fades like a worn-out photograph
Colors drain but I still feel the aftermath
Where the heart meets the unknown there’s a pulse we can’t ignore
Like a key turned in a lock we’re stepping through the door

This is our time unbroken unspoken
Gravity’s gone the tether is broken
Rising like the night won’t hold us down
We’re chasing stars in a quiet town

Look—city sleeps but the gridline’s awake
Dreams move fast like the steps that we take
Caught in the static but I’m breaking the code
Turning every crack in the glass to a road

Heartbeat sync to the bass no delay
Lost in the maze but we carve our own way
They said “stay small” but the script got flipped
Now we’re writing the lines every word’s a gift

Flames in the shadows yeah we light up the void
Building something real from the world they destroyed
We’re the pulse the push the unspoken sound
Chasing stars where the quiet is loud

Every beat every sound every step is ours to make
Every chance every fall every risk we have to take
When the dust finally settles will we still know who we are?
Or will we be fragments scattered across the stars?

This is our time unbroken unspoken
Gravity’s gone the tether is broken
Rising like the night won’t hold us down
We’re chasing stars in a quiet town

Quiet town oh quiet town
Where the whispers hold us and the world slows down
Quiet town oh quiet town
We’ll find ourselves where the echoes drown

Summer nights and secret glances
Dancing under starry skies
Hearts racing taking chances
You were my sweet surprise

Caught up in the thrill
Time standing still

First love forever in my heart
First love where do we start?
First love never fades away
First love come what may
(First love first love)

Whispers soft the world was ours
Holding hands in the moonlit park
We chased the night counted stars
Found our way through the dark

Caught up in the thrill
Time standing still

First love forever in my heart
First love where do we start?
First love never fades away
First love come what may
(First love first love)

Memories that shine
In this heart of mine

First love forever in my heart
First love where do we start?
First love never fades away
First love come what may
(First love first love)

First love forever in my heart
(First love first love)

In a crowded room we met
Eyes that spark can’t forget
Heartbeat racing time stood still
A new flame a growing thrill

Feel the night young and wild
Lost in dreams just like a child

Oh oh oh
Love’s a rush a ride
Oh oh oh
Together we collide
Oh oh oh
Hearts in sync side by side

Walking down the moonlit street
Every step our souls complete
Whispered secrets hands entwined
In your arms the world’s so kind

Feel the night young and wild
Lost in dreams just like a child

Oh oh oh
Love’s a rush a ride
Oh oh oh
Together we collide
Oh oh oh
Hearts in sync side by side

Silent moments words unsaid
In your eyes I'm so led

Oh oh oh
Love’s a rush a ride
Oh oh oh
Together we collide
Oh oh oh
Hearts in sync side by side

First love’s flame never fades
In our hearts it always stays

Chorus:
We're riding waves on the ocean of time
Feel the rhythm of the world so sublime
Life's a melody soft and pure
Singing songs of the heart our spirits sure

Verse 1:
Sunrise paints the sky with a new hope
We walk the sands where the wise men once spoke
Sharing tales under the shade of old trees
Whispering secrets carried by the breeze

Chorus:
We're riding waves on the ocean of time
Feel the rhythm of the world so sublime
Life's a melody soft and pure
Singing songs of the heart our spirits sure

Verse 2:
Every step on this earth leaves a mark
Light the fire and dance away the dark
Join the circle hand in hand we stand strong
In unity where all souls belong

Bridge:
Beneath the moon a silent pact we make
To heal the world with every breath we take
No more shadows only light we will sow
Together we flourish together we grow

Chorus:
We're riding waves on the ocean of time
Feel the rhythm of the world so sublime
Life's a melody soft and pure
Singing songs of the heart our spirits sure

Outro:
So let the music of life never end
Keep the love pass it on my friend
In every lyric in every tune
Our hearts beat together under sun or moon

Peeling back the time tonight
Yellow skin under the light
Left out in the desert sun
Bruised and lonely just begun
Lines around my yellow face
Ripening in the same old place
Never thought I’d turn so dark
Thought I’d always have that spark

Banana blues got me crying out loud
Saddest fruit in the produce crowd
Life's too short to just fade away
Wish this peel could stretch another day

Roots attached but standing still
Dreams fermenting in the chill
I once believed in bright horizons
Now I’m stuck in thoughts mesmerizing

Sliced up or left whole I sway
Who will eat me I can't say
A love that’s fleeting quick to go
Banana blues please take it slow

Banana blues got me crying out loud
Saddest fruit in the produce crowd
Life's too short to just fade away
Wish this peel could stretch another day

Me no care what dem people say
Life too short we dance all day
Feet on fire we don’t stop now
Drum go boom make de rhythm loud

We rise up no fall down
From de dirt we wear de crown
Heartbeat strong we feel de vibe
Dis da way we come alive!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Moonlight shine on we golden skin
De beat don’t stop de groove begin
Hands up high we feel so free
Tonight we write we history

We rise up no fall down
From de dirt we wear de crown
Heartbeat strong we feel de vibe
Dis da way we come alive!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Hear de conga feel de sound
De rhythm spin us round and round
We go higher to de sky
Dis de way we always fly!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Why does it hurt
To hope? (Mmm ooh ooh ooh)
Why does it hurt?
(Let it out)
To hope? (Ayy ayy)
Why does it hurt
Why does it hurt?
(Ooh ooh ooh)

I love you like the segments
On the news
Cut between the stories of the hood
The heroes
And the glues
Seen and see-through
I could
Read the room
The sky turned red
The stage was vast
The moon took center view
And so did you

Why does it hurt
To hope? (Mmm ooh ooh ooh)
Why does it hurt?
(Let it out)
To hope?
(Ayy ayy)
Why does it hurt?

Why I'm supposed to hope
That things will change?
Keep thinkin' things will settle
As I get older with age
Huh but nothin's never been the same
So in the meantime
Might as well let 'em know my name
And I ain't gon' waste a second

So baby
Show me somethin' that I need for now
I don't mean to use you till I turn around
But maybe you might find you wanna stick
Around

Got so many skeletons inside my closet
That I don't go past October
'Cause if I start lookin' around
Might not come back till the fall is over
Like ooh ooh ooh

Woke up to the sound of rain tapping on my window pane
Grabbed my coat and hit the street dancing with my restless feet
Colors swirling in the air freedom's calling everywhere
City lights are shining bright guiding me through endless night

Feel the rhythm in your soul let the music take control
Every step is pure delight let’s get lost within the night

Oh oh we’re gonna fly (fly fly)
Underneath the starry sky (sky sky)
Oh oh we’ll touch the stars (stars stars)
Dancing through the night no matter where we are (we are we are)

Heard a melody so sweet playing from a distant street
Followed it to find a crowd voices lifting clear and loud
Every face a story told young and old so bold
Joined the dance without a care harmony is everywhere

Feel the rhythm in your soul let the music take control
Every step is pure delight let’s get lost within the night

Oh oh we’re gonna fly (fly fly)
Underneath the starry sky (sky sky)
Oh oh we’ll touch the stars (stars stars)
Dancing through the night no matter where we are (we are we are)

Hearts are beating in the dark we ignite a brand new spark
Every dream within our reach lessons only life can teach

Oh oh we’re gonna fly (fly fly)
Underneath the starry sky (sky sky)
Oh oh we’ll touch the stars (stars stars)
Dancing through the night no matter where we are (we are we are)

As the morning sun will rise we’ll keep dancing in our eyes
Memories will light the way keeping night alive in day

Life's a circus don't you know
Clowns and jokers steal the show
Elephants on tiptoe
While we're dancing in the row

Stumbling on a banana peel
Can't tell what's fake or real
Let's spin this crazy wheel
Laugh like it's no big deal

Round and round in silly ways
Confetti falls in our parade
Laughing through this endless maze
Life's a circus every day

Juggling dreams without a clue
Funny hats and oversized shoes
Sip the coffee spill the brew
Every day's an act or two

Round and round in silly ways
Confetti falls in our parade
Laughing through this endless maze
Life's a circus every day

Horn section blows a tune
Underneath the big balloon
Smile beneath the silver moon
Merrymakers in full bloom
