Changing Skies

[Soft piano melody, building in intensity] [Verse 1]: In the halls of my youth under elementary skies, Shy but growing, life was a surprise. Laughter mixed with tears, a bittersweet blend, Lost my grandmother, a chapter came to an end. [Pre-Chorus]: But the pages kept turning, each day I stood, Facing the unknown as bravely as I could. [Chorus]: From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive, Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive. With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs, I've weathered the storms, under changing skies. [Verse 2]: Middle school brought a storm, life rearranged, Lost my childhood home, everything changed. Gave away my cats, felt the deep sting of fate, Lost more than I knew, the burden grew great. [Pre-Chorus]: In the silence of my room, the world seemed so vast, Yet I found my strength, in shadows cast. [Chorus]: From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive, Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive. With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs, I've weathered the storms, under changing skies. [Verse 3]: Apartments burned down, our lives turned to ash, Had to move, our dreams nearly dashed. A guardian angel, maybe my grandmother's grace, Guided us through to a safer place. We found a new home, amidst the chaos and strife, Began once more, tried to rebuild our life. [Bridge]: High school halls whispered tales of pain, Grades soared high but friends remained scarce. Internal battles, hidden tears in the rain, Yet I stood undeterred, through the unseen wars. [Verse 4]: College days, a relentless climb, Battled sickness, nearly surrendered my time. Yet from the depths, rose a spirit so fierce, Graduated with honors, my resolve pierced. [Chorus]: From the echoes of my past, through the struggles I dive, Each stage of life, where I fought to thrive. With every fall, there’s a rise, amidst the lows and highs, I've weathered the storms, under changing skies. [Verse 4]: After college life’s script took a turn, Found love, embraced a future I yearn. A child’s laughter now fills my days, Through struggles I find, hopeful ways. [Outro with Instrumental crescendo with full orchestra and choir] Still the journey goes on, with dreams anew, In the quiet strength, I found in the few. With love and loss, through the pain and the cheer, I stand with hope, as each new stage draws near. [Fades to quiet]
