Make Your Own Kind Of Music

[Intro – warm, hopeful] Sunlight spills through cracked window panes A quiet hum hums in my veins [Verse 1 – gentle, curious] I walked past crowds singing the same old tune Every word felt like a borrowed moon I traced the cracks in the sidewalk stone Wondering where my own voice had gone [Pre-Chorus – building, determined] I don’t need to fit their perfect mold Don’t need to let their stories hold My heart’s got a beat they can’t control Gonna let it roll, gonna let it roll [Chorus 1 – bright, triumphant] I’m gonna make my own kind of music Dance to the rhythm only I can see Paint my own sky with every hue This is my song, this is my truth [Post-Chorus – playful, carefree] La la la la, la la la la La la la la, la la la la [Verse 2 – reflective, warm] I sat on the porch where the crickets hummed Thought about all the songs I’d never strummed I used to hide behind the quiet wall Scared my voice would be too small [Pre-Chorus 2 – urgent, unapologetic] But the world don’t need another copycat Don’t need to wear someone else’s hat My soul’s got a song that’s meant to be Gonna set it free, gonna set it free [Chorus 2 – soaring, joyful] I’m gonna make my own kind of music Dance to the rhythm only I can see Paint my own sky with every hue This is my song, this is my truth I’m gonna sing my own kind of melody Walk down a road that’s just for me Turn every fear into fuel This is my life, this is my rule [Post-Chorus – playful, carefree] La la la la, la la la la La la la la, la la la la [Bridge – soft, vulnerable] Some days the noise gets loud and cold Makes me wonder if I’m doing it right But then I close my eyes and feel the fold Of my own heart’s warm, steady light [Final Choruses – explosive, celebratory] I’m gonna make my own kind of music Dance to the rhythm only I can see Paint my own sky with every hue This is my song, this is my truth I’m gonna sing my own kind of melody Walk down a road that’s just for me Turn every fear into fuel This is my life, this is my rule I’m gonna make my own kind of music Let my voice ring out wild and free No more hiding, no more doubt This is my time, this is my route [Outro – calm, content] Sunlight fades to starlit night My song still hums, soft and bright
