sunshine long way around

Title: "Never Fade") (Intro - 8 bars | 15 sec, smooth and reflective) "Lookin’ at the sky, see the clouds drift by, Thinkin’ ‘bout the past but I never ask why. Feet on the pavement, heart in the sound, Ain’t lost, just takin’ the long way ‘round." --- (Verse 1 - 16 bars | ~40 sec, confident and steady) "Clock keeps tickin’, but I move with grace, Ain’t chasin’ shadows, I’m settin’ my pace. Came from the bottom, but I climbed so high, Now I watch the world from a whole new sky. People come, people go, that’s the way it spins, But the real ones stay, yeah, they ride till the end. I don’t fake, don’t fold, don’t play pretend, Ain’t here for the trend, I just set what’s next." --- (Chorus - 8 bars | ~20 sec, anthemic and bold) "They say time don’t wait, gotta make my way, Ain’t no rewind, gotta live today. Through the highs, through the lows, I embrace the change, I was built for this—I will never fade." --- (Verse 2 - 16 bars | ~40 sec, reflective and deep) "I seen days when the sun wouldn’t show, Walked through the fire, now I shine with a glow. Took some time, but I turned ‘em to gold, Lessons in my pocket, that’s the way that I grow. No regrets, only moves that I made, No fear, only dues that I paid. Every scar on my skin got a story it tells, Wrote my name in the stars, let ‘em ring the bells." --- (Chorus - 8 bars | ~20 sec, empowering and strong) "They say time don’t wait, gotta make my way, Ain’t no rewind, gotta live today. Through the highs, through the lows, I embrace the change, I was built for this—I will never fade." --- (Bridge - 8 bars | ~20 sec, melodic and atmospheric) "I keep movin’, keep risin’, can’t be stopped, Every road that I take puts me right on top. Ain’t no limits when I step in the ring, Write my own story, let the whole world sing." --- (Verse 3 - 16 bars | ~40 sec, powerful and victorious) "No chains, no ties, just an open road, Runnin’ full speed, never break, never fold. Built from the ashes, made from the storm, Lightning in my soul, yeah, I’m breakin’ the norm. They could doubt, they could talk, I don’t hear that noise, I just move, let my work be the loudest voice. Final lap, final round, got my name engraved, Say it loud, say it proud—I will never fade." --- (Chorus - 8 bars | ~20 sec, final anthem) "They say time don’t wait, gotta make my way, Ain’t no rewind, gotta live today. Through the highs, through the lows, I embrace the change, I was built for this—I will never fade." --- (Outro - 8 bars | 15 sec, smooth fade-out) "Lookin’ at the sky, see the clouds drift by, Thinkin’ ‘bout the past but I never ask why. Feet on the pavement, heart in the sound, Ain’t lost, just takin’ the long way ‘round."
