Echoes of Yesterday

[Intro] [Soft piano fading] [gentle acoustic guitar strums] [Verse 1] A dusty road, the sun sets low, Shadows cast on the paths I chose. Pages turned in the book of my life, Marked with laughter and silent strife. (oh-yeah) [Pre-Chorus 1] As the twilight calls the stars to play, Memories dance in the shades of gray. Holding on to the light that’s fading, In the echoes, my heart’s still wading. [Chorus 1] Echoes of yesterday, ringing deep and true, In every broken dream, I find a clue. Though the shadows stretch and the cold winds sway, In the echoes of yesterday, I’ll find my way. (find my way) [Verse 2] Footprints vanish in the sand, Missed chances that slipped from my hand. The laughter shared under the moon's glow, Fades to whispers I used to know. (I used to know) [Pre-Chorus 2] Every regret is a lesson learned, In the ashes of bridges I once burned. Gathering pieces of me along the way, In the echoes, I stand and stay. [Chorus 2] Echoes of yesterday, haunting yet sweet, In each tear that falls, in every heartbeat. For every dream that had to decay, It’s the echoes of yesterday that light my way. (light my way) [Verse 3] Here in the quiet of the coming night, I trace the wrongs I’m trying to right. In the solitude, I hear a call, From the echoes that catch my fall. (catch my fall) [Pre-Chorus 3] With every sorrow there’s a song to sing, From winter’s chill to the breath of spring. Rising stronger from the fray, In the echoes, I find my way. [Chorus 3] Echoes of yesterday, soft and clear, Guiding through the pain, wiping every tear. As the past holds me in its gentle sway, It’s the echoes of yesterday that say, "It’s okay." (it’s okay) [Verse 4] Now looking back on the roads I’ve trod, I see the strength where I once saw flawed. The broken pieces, the open doors, Lead to a place I’ve not walked before. (not walked before) [Pre-Chorus 4] From every heartache, a seed of hope, Through tangled paths, I’ve learned to cope. Carrying lessons from yesterday, In the echoes, I make my way. [Chorus 4] Echoes of yesterday, my guiding light, Through darkest tunnels, to morning bright. With every scar that shows the way, In the echoes of yesterday, I’ll stay. (I’ll stay) [Bridge] So here I stand, amid the echoes calling, The past and present, beautifully entwining. (beautifully entwining) Each echo a note in the melody, Singing of resilience, of what’s yet to be. (what’s yet to be) [Outro] So let the echoes play their sweet refrain, In every end, there’s a start again. As long as memories remain, I’ll find the beauty in yesterday’s rain. (in yesterday’s rain, yeah) [Fade to End] [End]
