May I Feel Said He - Live in Kabul

Somewhere I have never travelled

All in green went my love riding

Lily has a rose

What if a much of a which of a wind

If everything happens that can't be done

asuf”2

Time like it waits for her Every step, a silent blur
Midnight eyes, heartbeat slow Every move, tells what words don't show
When she moves the room, forgets to breathe And every tick of time believes
The way she turns, the way she stays Got the odds falling in her place

And I swear, when her rhythm starts Even clocks stop counting hearts
It ticks like she moves Every second, tracing her groove
She don't rush, she don't lose Time bends to what she do
It ticks like she moves Every glance, a deja vu

She's a beat the world keeps too It ticks like she moves
Her silence sounds like melody Her shadow feels like gravity
Every breath, a verse in disguise Every look, another sunrise
The clock don't tell her what to do It listens, every tick, every breath

It learns her rhythm She moves
When she's gone, the world feels still When she's near, time bends it will
It ticks like she moves Every second, tracing her groove
She don't rush, she don't lose Time just follows what she do

It ticks like she moves Every moment, feels brand new
She's the rhythm time runs to It ticks like she moves
Every second sounds like a name Every heartbeat moves the same

It Ticks Like She Moves

[Intro]
(Ayy… yeah)
Fuel the fire, feel it rise — no compromise
We don’t bow, we multiply (uh)
They tried to dim the flame — we set the sky alight (let’s go)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I came from the dirt, from the pain, from the silence (yeah)
Now I move with a purpose, turn pressure to diamonds (facts)
Every loss was a spark in disguise (uh)
Now I’m lit, and I’m done livin’ lies (nah)

We the ones they said could never shine (never)
Now we glow through the dark, redefine (shine)
From the struggle came the fuel in my veins (yeah)
I’m the storm that was born from the rain (woo)

[Pre-Hook]
No more chains, no more pain, yeah
Feel the thunder in my name, yeah (my name)
Hearts on fire, can’t be tamed, yeah
We don’t run, we reclaim, yeah

[Hook]
Ignite the world — let it burn bright (bright)
Flames of passion, light up the night (night)
From the shadows, we arise (rise)
Got that revolution in our eyes (eyes)

Ignite the world — feel that flame inside (inside)
Ain’t no fear, we won’t hide (nah)
Through the pain, through the fight (fight)
We gon’ bring that fire to life (life)

[Verse 2]
This that heartbeat of the fearless (yeah)
Loud voice for the ones who hear this (hear this)
Never fold when the world turn peerless
We the light when the dark turn cheerless (yeah)

Ain’t no silence in the soul of a lion (nah)
We rise, no breaks, no complyin’ (uh)
Every scar that we wear, we earned (earned)
Every bridge they burned — we learned (woo)

[Bridge]
Sparks in the sky, let it rain down gold
No retreat, no stories untold
We the legacy, brave and bold
From the ashes, we rise — behold

[Hook]
Ignite the world — let it burn bright
Flames of passion, piercing the night
From the shadows, we arise
A revolution in our eyes

Ignite the world — no turning back
We built from fire, we won’t crack
From the ruins, we will rise
Set the world on fire tonight!

[Outro]
(Ayy, ignite it… ignite it…)
We were made to shine, we were born to fight (yeah)
Through the dark, through the night (uh)
We ignite… we ignite the world…

(“ignite”)














Ignite the World (let It burn bright)

I confess ... I'm experimenting for some time now with AI-assisted music creation ... I don't reject this "revolution"... I'm trying to find a reasonable place there :)
