[Intro]
City dawn, a whisper in the street
Jack Kasongo wakes to chase a beat
[Verse 1]
Jack Kasongo walks the river road at dawn
A pocket full of songs and a dream to carry on
He listens to trains, to neon and rain
Believing the rough road will teach him to sing his name
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night gets louder than his voice can bear
He counts the stars and finds a prayer there
[Chorus]
Hold on, Jack, the road is long but true
Every step writes a brighter tune for you
Let your voice rise over the city rain
Kasongo, you were born to light the flame
[Verse 2]
In a crowded station, strangers share small laughs
A guitar, a song, and a map drawn from half
He trades fear for courage, fear for the chance
Plays for the hope of one more glance
[Pre-Chorus]
The dawn redraws the lines where future lies
He finds the courage in the crowd's wide eyes
[Chorus]
Hold on, Jack, the road is long but true
Every step writes a brighter tune for you
Let your voice rise over the city rain
Kasongo, you were born to light the flame
[Bridge]
If the dream shakes like a sign in the wind
Remember the road started with a first small grin
You are more than the miles, more than the praise
You carry the songs that will melt the maze
[Chorus]
Hold on, Jack, the road is long but true
Every step writes a brighter tune for you
Let your voice rise over the city rain
Kasongo, you were born to light the flame
[Outro]
The night sighs down as dawn breaks new
Jack Kasongo, the city sings back to you
