Legacy  (let this X-mas shine).

Midnight Velvet

Sirens slice the distance and I grip my prayer like iron
My soul patched together after hunger after desire after sin
When faith starts fading I strike that ember until it flares
This grind taught me to lift my eyes when the weight drops low
I hold a fire inside no dark corner can choke
I watched too many brothers fall because they stopped believing in the smoke

I am the child of pavement and the rise of steady hope
When dawn rips through the night my salvation climbs the slope
I carry the ember of faith running fierce inside my veins
I walk on I rise I become the promise I claim

Street pressure hisses regret and offers traps with friendly smiles
My scars are medals lifted high without a trace of shame
When shadow leans heavy I answer with a flash that blinds
The urban drum keeps calling through the walls that still resist
I repeat my vow and wake the ember that refuses sleep
I become the beacon burning for the ones who lost their speech

I am the child of pavement and the rise of steady hope
When dawn rips through the night my salvation climbs the slope
I carry the ember of faith running fierce inside my veins
I walk on I rise I become the promise I claim

Listen to the drum in your chest striking against the ground
Rise up fill your lungs answer the horizon with sound

I am the child of pavement and the rise of steady hope
When dawn rips through the night my salvation climbs the slope
I carry the ember of faith running fierce inside my veins
I walk on I rise I become the promise I claim

The city roars but I keep my spine straight
My inner fire pushes through every alley I navigate
Redemption walks beside me with steps that never slow
And this ember in my chest leads me to the dawn’s first glow
