🎵 "Everyone Follows"
I ran one day, no map, no way
Chasing dreams that fade away
It wasn't me, but still they say
"That’s just the way you play"
Pressure tight, my mind was loud
The world below, my head in clouds
Is this the life I dreamed about?
Or just a broken route?
I looked behind—surprised to see
A thousand feet walked after me
They didn’t know my pain or why
They followed still, no question—why?
They copied moves, like mirrors lie
But no one lived—just passed me by
I stopped to breathe, they left the air
Their stories vanished—no one cared
The world became a tape on loop
Same voices in a lifeless group
I tried a car, with winds so free
Next day they all drove next to me
The tales they told, their show and flair
But none had truth—they weren’t there
One day I saved a drowning mule
Cleaned her up, made her cool
Brushed her hair, made her shine
Then everyone said, “That mule is mine”
I looked behind—what did I find?
Reflections lost in humankind
No reason why, no aim, no grace
Just empty echoes in the race
So tell me now, what should I do?
Why does the world keep chasing too?
Oh God above, give me a clue
Why does it always end this way...
With no one walking their own way?

Still Know My Way Home
________________________________________ 🎵 "Still Know My Way Home" I still know my old street name I thought I forgot, but it's the same Back when the skies were gray And they told us all to run away I was just a child back then But I could think like wiser men Our house stood by the alley side And I still see our neighbor’s pride She stood and cried, her voice was clear "Why should we leave what we hold dear?" "Why give them what we built in tears?" "This land is ours, not theirs to smear!" Oh, I would die for you, my land With empty hands, I’d make a stand The cowards bowed and walked in fear No soul, no truth, no honor near But she… she fell within a beat While voices rose out in the street Brothers rose and took the lead They knew just what the moment needs The world turned upside down again We were told to flee, to bear the pain Though years have passed and I'm grown tall I still recall it—through it all I may be far, I may be gone But I still know where I belong That door, that wall, that dusty road Still live inside this heart I hold I’d die again for you, my land With open arms, I'd take a stand No fear can steal what’s truly mine The truth survives the test of time And I still know my way back home One day, I swear, we will return The truth will shine, the fight will burn The truth will rise… again… again… Yeah, the truth will rise again.

Thank you, for your kind words waiting for you
"I know," she whispered back, her voice thick with emotion. "It’s like... with you, I’ve found a part of myself I didn’t even know was missing."
YOUR COMMENT IS VERY important
Ohh this one hits like a quiet anthem! Genius lines—“They didn’t know my pain or why / They followed still, no question—why?” Chef’s kiss.✨
