Crack the Dark

[Verse 1] Who hears the words I never speak? Trapped inside this hollow week The clock ticks loud but no one near Just echoes bouncing off the fear [Verse 2] I watch the crowd move like a stream But no one sees my silent scream They pass me by with practiced grace While truth gets lost without a trace [Chorus: Layered harmonies, expressive brass swells] But if we raised our voices true If just one hand reached out to you We’d crack the dark with honest light And turn this wrong into what’s right [Verse 3] My chest is full of questions old But silence is the coin I’m sold The mirror shows a tired face No one to meet me in this space [Chorus: Full band, deep bassline, mournful sax counter-melody] So let us raise our voices true Let someone finally reach for you We’ll crack the dark with honest light And turn this wrong into what’s right [Bridge: Brass stabs, sparse bass groove] One spark—that’s all it takes To wake the world from its mistakes [Chorus: James Brown–style ad-libs, soaring harmonies] Then raise your voice, let courage ring! Let truth be the song we bring! WE’LL CRACK THE DARK WITH HONEST LIGHT! AND TURN THIS WRONG INTO WHAT’S RIGHT!
