I don’t run

[Confident & Bold, voice. Should sound strong, like a hero stepping into their destiny]


Intro
Ooooooooo
(In a world full of fear)
Ooooooooo
(I am here)

Verse 1

I’ve been carrying ghosts that won’t sleep at night
All the promises broken still live in my mind
I learned how to smile standing in the flame
Held the weight of the world, whispered my name
Every breath that I took made me stronger through pain

Pre-Chorus 1

I stared at the mirror, didn’t like what I saw
But the cracks in the glass showed me what I’m fighting for

Chorus 1

I’m the echo of hope in a world full of fear
I’m the blood and the bone of the choices I bear
When the dark comes to claim me, I stand in the storm
Every wound is a lesson, every loss takes form
I’m the man I’m becoming, unchained and awake
A hero forged slowly through heartbreak and faith

Verse 2

I walked through the silence, no one would stay
Heard my own heartbeat begging me not to break
I buried the parts of me scared to believe
Left all my doubt in the dirt, let the truth start to bleed
Now the man that I am won’t run from his fate

Pre-Chorus 2

I’ve been holding my breath at the edge of the fight
Now the fear steps aside when I step into the light

Bridge

I’ve knelt in the silence where prayers feel ignored
Learned the cost of survival, the edge of the sword
If destiny’s heavy, I’ll carry it still
I won’t kneel to the fear, I will bend it to will

Final Chorus

I’m the echo of hope in a world full of fear
I’m the blood and the bone of the roads that I’ve cleared
When the dark comes to claim me, I stand in the storm

Every wound is a lesson, every loss is a form
I was building my strength when I felt all alone
From the ashes of doubt, I reclaimed my throne
I don’t run from the fire, I rise and remain
I’m a hero made real by the scars and the pain
