[Intro – Soft oud + sitar + distant vocal hums]
Ohhh… ya leil… ya leil…
[Verse 1]
I walk down the road alone tonight,
Under crimson desert light.
Wind is whispering to my soul,
Telling me to lose control.
Fire dances in my chest,
But my feet refuse the test.
Dreams are calling from afar,
Like a lonely shooting star.
[Pre-Chorus – Soft build with tabla rhythm]
Round and round my thoughts remain,
Like the circles in the sand.
I want to rise, I want to stand,
But I’m trapped inside my hand.
[Chorus – Emotional, melodic, powerful]
I wanna do something, ya habibi, now,
Break these chains but I don’t know how.
I’m burning like the desert sun,
Yet I stay where I begun.
I don’t wanna be this way,
Lost between night and day.
I’m alive but I feel numb…
Doing nothing… becoming none.
[Bridge – Instrumental with vocal runs]
Ahhhh… ohhhh…
Maybe one step in the sand
Will turn the silence into sound.
[Final Chorus – Stronger drums + strings]
I will rise now, hear me call,
Even if I start so small.
Through the dust, through the flame,
I will never be the same.
