lyrics

One day, they'll see the stage I've won
The passion, the fame, the battles I've done
I'll prove my worth, no matter the fight
This is my calling, my guiding light

I strummed my dreams on strings, took flight
With every note, I'd reach new heights

They turn a blind eye, they just don't care
Ignoring the passion that I bear

I'm screaming inside, but they won't hear
This is my world, it's crystal clear
But the family, they just can't see
The fire in my soul, the melody in me

They turn a blind eye, they just don't care
Ignoring the passion that I bear

I'll play my songs on empty streets
To prove to them this dream's no deceit

Their disapproval, a heavy weight to bear
But I'll carry on, no need to debate what is fair
Their disapproval, a heavy weight to bear
But I'll carry on, no need to debate what is fair

The semantics of the issue are a little complicated
And I'd feel castrated without the words I'm putting down on paper
And I am fueled by how much I hate her
I chased my dreams, took risks unknown,
Yet family's support, I've never known
Their lack of belief, it cuts so deep
But I'll play my heart out, even as they sleep on me
When they scorn I'll stand my ground

Their judgments won't define my fate
I'll make my mark, they'll see it's not too late
I'm breaking chains, they try to confine
Their closed minds can't hold this heart of mine

I'll play my songs on empty streets
To prove to them this dream's no deceit
How can I make a dime, I'm living free
If only you could see me now

Their disapproval, a heavy weight to bear
But I'll carry on, no need to debate what is fair
Their disapproval, a heavy weight to bear
But I'll carry on, no need to debate what is fair

So long and thanks
