On the old sofa where the stars would lean in
A pen in my hand, let the story begin
The yard was a kingdom, the notebook my crown
Even when the world tried to break me down
Mama said clearly, keep the light in your eye
The clothes that you wear don't define who you are inside
Now I'm building this meeting place, across the divide
Where the shadows are gone and there's nowhere to hide
Ricardo, my brother, the stars hold your name
We're burning forever in an undying flame
A symphony written in the ashes and dust
A promise of love and a beacon of trust
If I could rewind, I would speak every word
The songs that I sang, they were always heard
From the pre-dawn silence to the fire and the frost
We never leave behind the ones that we lost
I am the echo, the song, and the soul
Making the broken parts perfectly whole
Now I'm building this meeting place, across the divide
Where the shadows are gone and there's nowhere to hide
Mama, I'm listening, I'm keeping it true
Every note that I sing is a bridge back to you
A symphony written in the ashes and dust
A promise of love and a beacon of trust
(Outro, spoken softly)
(The yard)
(The notebook)
(The light)
I remember
I'm still me
Always
