They'll Need Much More

A thousand doors have slammed before my voice
But silence is never a choice
I etch my truth in melodies
A secret fire no cage can seize

If the world rejects my cry
I'll sing brighter than the sky
Every scar transforms to sound
Every wound turns fierce and proud

They'll need much more to steal my song
More than walls where I don't belong
My heart's a surge that breaks the night
You can't erase my burning light

I've lived with shadows calling me by name
Yet music always broke their claim
In every verse I find release
A fragile pain that bends to peace

If the gates are locked in steel
I will rise with what I feel
Every doubt refines my art
Every no re-shapes my heart

They'll need much more to steal my song
More than walls where I don't belong
My heart's a surge that breaks the night
You can't erase my burning light

You can drown a dream in endless sleep
But it awakens from the deep
You can hold a bird, yet when it sings
It cracks the dark with trembling strings

They'll need much more to steal my song
More than silence to prove me wrong
My soul's a surge, alive and free
And I will shine eternally

They'll Need Much More
