“Sanctuary”

[Intro – 0:00–0:18] (soft harmonies and ambient synths)
(Sarah singing, calmly but with weight)
I walk in silence, where the storms don’t reach…
Where my thoughts breathe free, and my soul finds peace…
---
[Verse 1 – 0:18–0:50]
Eyes on me, but they don’t see deep,
They don’t know where I go when I sleep.
Carrying weight I can’t always name,
Dancing with fire, but I move through flames.
I learned to trust the stillness,
Found strength inside my weakness.
Told myself, “Girl, just breathe…”
The battle outside ain’t stronger than me.
---
[Pre-Hook – 0:50–1:05] (harmonies rise softly)
Let the noise fade, I choose my way,
I don’t owe the world my pain today…
---
[Hook – 1:05–1:35] (layered vocals, smooth melodies)
This is my sanctuary,
Where the light in me speaks louder than the dark.
No chains, no weight I carry —
I float where the chaos can’t leave its mark.
Ooh, I fly in quiet skies,
No need to prove what lives inside.
This is my… sanctuary.
---
[Verse 2 – 1:35–2:05]
Been judged by silence, loved in storms,
Built my world where hearts stay warm.
Not afraid of the dark, I just move with grace,
Let 'em talk, I walk in a sacred place.
I don’t beg, I don’t break,
I don’t bend for the fear or the hate.
Got dreams that don’t fit their frame,
But I love me just the same.
---
[Bridge – 2:05–2:35] (soft falsetto, melodic build)
Breathe in… let go…
I don’t owe nobody control…
Breathe out… I’m whole…
This is where I find my soul…
---
[Final Hook – 2:35–3:05]
This is my sanctuary,
Where my scars shine brighter than gold.
I ain’t here to be ordinary —
I’m a whisper turning bold.
Ooh, I rise in silent flight,
I’m the moon that lights my night.
This is my… sanctuary.
