Light in the Alley

[Intro] Chekete chekete, danger danger Whispers in the alley, hearts in danger [Verse 1] In the neon drizzle, shadows speak in code A voice says run, but the street won’t let you go Footsteps echo questions you don’t want to know Trying to find a door that won’t lead to more sorrow [Pre-Chorus] Safe at home, a memory so frail But courage grows when you refuse to fail [Chorus] We lift the light, we break the night We choose to stand when fear takes flight Hands up high, we won’t be swayed We lift the light, we won’t be afraid [Verse 2] If the world turns cold, we’ll warm it with our truth Voice for the voiceless, you deserve a roof and proof Every scar a map that shows you came through Together we rise, stronger from what we’ve been through [Pre-Chorus] Safe at home, a memory so frail But courage grows when you refuse to fail [Chorus] We lift the light, we break the night We choose to stand when fear takes flight Hands up high, we won’t be swayed We lift the light, we won’t be afraid [Bridge] No more whispers chasing you like ghosts in rain We own our stories, we’ll heal the pain Let truth be louder than the tide of shame We stand as one, reclaiming names [Chorus] We lift the light, we break the night We choose to stand when fear takes flight Hands up high, we won’t be swayed We lift the light, we won’t be afraid [Outro] Chekete chekete, danger fades away We found our courage, and we’ll be okay
