My Spirit’s Fire

[Verse 1] 
I feel so lost in a sea of variables, 
My tangled thoughts seem so unbearable, 
Life’s weight, dulls my spirit’s shine, 
Lost in shadows, a muted line. 
The currents swirl, no footing stays, 
My inner fire wanes in the haze, 
I search for one to still the storm, 
A steady light in human form. 

[Chorus] 
Longing for a constant’s call, 
A voice to light my spirit’s fire, 
With strength to rise, my light shines forth, 
To become who I was meant to be. 

[Verse 2] 
Others criticized my own pace, 
Adrift where dreams lost every trace, 
But you met me where I stood, 
Seeing potential where I saw no good. 
Your calm ignites with every word, 
A constant guide, my vision stirred, 
You lift my gaze, I start to see, 
A power born to set me free. 

[Bridge] 
Oh, through the chaos, your peace prevails, 
Sparking my flame where doubt assails, 
A road unfolds with every breath, 
Courage grows beyond my depth. 

[Verse 3] 
The world still shifts, its variables churn, 
But with your light, my lessons learned, 
An inferno roars to forge my might, 
Mastering all, doing what is right. 
False evidence appearing real, 
Afraid no more is how I feel, 
I’ve seen the light, my path is clear, 
Belief in self erases fear. 
[Melodic Interlude]

[Bridge] 
Oh, when challenged, your wisdom I recall, 
Lighting my way where shadows fall, 
I see the truth, my strength takes root, 
Ready to stand on my own pursuit. 

[Verse 4] 
In darkness deep, I wait in vain, 
No rescue comes to ease the strain, 
Alone I stand, no hand to hold, 
My light must rise; I break the mold. 
[Percussion Break] 
Your guidance lit my inner spark, 
Now I ignite my own bold arc, 
Strength swells within, I lead my way, 
A fire born to light my day. 

[Chorus] 
Longing for a constant’s call, 
A voice to light my spirit’s fire, 
With strength to rise, my light shines forth, 
To become who I was meant to be. 
[Melodic Interlude, Percussion Break] 

[Outro] 
The storm fades at the break of day, 
My inner flame lights my own way, 
Now a constant in the sea of variables, 
I found my light...

and became who I was meant to be.
