Chained to the Sky

[Intro]
An ascent of celestial chords, darkness breaking, awakening

[Verse 1]
I saw the stars but wore the chains
Silent tears fall in the midnight rain
Wings once smoke, now merely pain
Chained to the sky, I can't break the reign

[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of freedom call my name
Lost in the shadows of my own frame
But the fire still whispers my claim
Daring me to ignite the flame

[Chorus]
Lift me higher, break these bounds
Feel the thunder shake the ground
Limitless dreams in sight, unbound
Chained to the sky, but I’m not down

[Verse 2]
Heavy drops on my thunderous roar
Bound by fears I can't ignore
My wings are ash from dreams I swore
To let go, to soar once more

[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of freedom call my name
Lost in the shadows of my own frame
But the fire still whispers my claim
Daring me to ignite the flame

[Chorus]
Lift me higher, break these bounds
Feel the thunder shake the ground
Limitless dreams in sight, unbound
Chained to the sky, but I’m not down

[Bridge]
Can you hear the cry inside?
A silent scream for the bound to slide
Unchain the soul, let it fly
Beyond the clouds, across the sky

[Outro]
Stars will shine, despite the chains
Mountains move when hope remains
Fly beyond the pain, the rain
Chained to the sky, but alive again
