do I belong

[Verse1]
Sixteen candles flicker, shadows in my mind,
Searching for a heartbeat, a place I can't find.
Whispers in the hallway, echoes of my name,
Wishing I was fearless, tired of the same.

[Verse2]
Mirror shows a stranger, a face I can't embrace,
Lonely in a crowd, lost in endless space.
Dreams shaped like a compass, guiding me alone,
Yearning for connection, a heart to call my own.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’ll rise above the noise,
Find my voice among the static.
In this maze of doubt,
I’ll break out, I won’t be afraid.

[Chorus]
I'm finding who I am,
In the quiet, I'll stand tall.
No longer a silhouette,
In this life, I'll claim my call.
Through the highs and lows,
I'm learning to be free,
Sixteen years of wonder,
Now it's time for me to be me.

[Bridge]
Every step a journey, every tear a sign,
I’ll gather all my fragments, and let my spirit shine.
With the strength of the stars,
I will navigate the night,
No fear of fading away,
I’ll shine bright, I'll ignite.

[Outro]
So watch me rise, I'm not alone,
A flame inside, I’ve finally grown.
In this world of colors, I’ll paint my song,
At sixteen, I’m learning where I belong.
