Flame Within

[Intro] Whispers in the distance, a distant scream I can’t chase A heat inside Venus, a mystery I face [Verse 1] I’m a clown in a strip, flaming shoes on my feet No one to sympathize with the fire I keep Yet I found a spark, I still had some fun Even as the crowd’s laughter weighed a ton [Pre-Chorus] Turn the pain you carry into strength you can show Let hard lessons bloom where the cold winds blow [Chorus] The more they mock, the brighter I burn I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t return Fruit of the effort, sweet and true Sour moments blended with courage grew [Verse 2] If the world grants only lemons with sugar on top I’ll squeeze the courage, sip hope non-stop The plans I made, the risks I took Now the chorus of doubt can’t rewrite my look [Pre-Chorus] Turn the pain you carry into strength you can show Let hard lessons bloom where the cold winds blow [Chorus] The more they mock, the brighter I burn I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t return Fruit of the effort, sweet and true Sour moments blended with courage grew [Bridge] Don’t forget the roots, where I began What felt like a failure could be a plan From whispers to echoes of pride that stay I’m closer to you in the light of day [Chorus] The more they mock, the brighter I burn I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t return Fruit of the effort, sweet and true Sour moments blended with courage grew [Outro] Turn the pain to purpose, let it be the cue To walk a brighter path and stay true to you
