Track 1:Intro – The Journey Begins
The journey begins…
A road walked by many, yet still unknown.
A place where shadows once ruled,
But where light now dares to grow.
We have been taught to be strong,
To hide our pain behind smiles,
To bury our burdens beneath laughter,
To silence the echoes of our minds…
But tonight, we listen…
Tonight, we feel…
Tonight, we heal…
Oh my child, wipe your tears,
The weight you carry, let it fall…
Every wound, every scar,
Tonight, we cleanse them all.
Let it fall, let it fall…
There is no shame in feeling weak,
There is no guilt in asking why…
The heart is like the river deep,
It bends, but it will not dry.
Breathe in, breathe out…
Let the rhythm guide your soul…
You are not alone,
You are not alone.
Tonight, we sing for the broken,
For the weary, for the lost…
For the fathers who cried in silence,
For the mothers who carried unseen burdens,
For the children who grew up too soon…
This is our moment,
This is our time…
To heal, to grow, to rise.
We rise, we heal, we stand.
The journey begins…
And we are ready.
Track 2:Broken But Beautiful
You’ve been walking with the weight of the world,
Holding on, but your hands feel weak,
Looking in the mirror,
Wondering if you’re still complete…
Still complete, still complete…
But even the river changes course,
And still, it finds the sea,
Even the stars lose their light,
But they still shine for you and me.
Oh, don’t you know?
The cracks let the sunlight in…
Oh, don’t you see?
You were never meant to be perfect, just free.
You are broken but beautiful, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Wounded but wonderful, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No matter the scars, no matter the pain,
Your heart will find love again!
You’ve been hiding behind your fears,
Building walls so no one sees,
But love was never meant to be silent,
It was meant to set you free!
So take my hand, let’s walk this road,
No need to walk alone,
Even the trees lose their leaves,
But in time, they will regrow.
No more shame, no more fear,
You are worthy, you belong here!
No more doubt, dry your eyes,
You were made to rise!
You are broken but beautiful, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Wounded but wonderful, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No matter the scars, no matter the pain,
Your heart will find love again!
Love again, love again…
Track 3: Talk to Me.
You been walking all alone,
Carrying the weight inside your soul,
Smiling, but I see through the pain,
Let me in, don’t turn away.
I know they told you to be strong,
Told you never let it show,
But even the mountains have their storms,
It’s okay to let it go.
Oh my brother, oh my sister,
You don’t have to fight alone,
Oh my father, oh my mother,
Your heart is safe with me at home.
Talk to me, let it out,
No need to carry all this doubt,
I will listen, I won’t judge,
We can heal with love!
Talk to me, talk to me…
You don’t have to wear a mask,
You don’t have to hide the past,
If the heart is like a drum,
Then let it speak before it cracks.
Even warriors need a place to rest,
Even eagles need the wind,
If you feel like you’re lost inside,
Take my hand, let love begin.
No more silence, no more fear,
I am with you, I am here,
No more sorrow, no more shame,
We can start again.
Talk to me, let it out,
No need to carry all this doubt,
I will listen, I won’t judge,
We can heal with love!
Heal with love, heal with love…
Track 4: Silent Tears
You smile but I see through the cracks,
Your laughter hides what your heart lacks,
You say you're fine, but your eyes betray,
A storm inside that won’t go away.
You carry the world on your back,
Trying so hard not to collapse,
Holding it in, never let it show,
But even the strong need a place to go.
Oh-oh, don’t be afraid,
Let your heart find its way…
Oh-oh, you don’t have to fight alone,
I’ll be right here, don’t let go.
Silent tears fall like the rain, (Oh-oh-oh!)
But your pain is not in vain, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let it out, let me in,
I will hold you through the wind.
I will hold you, I will hold you…
You don’t have to wear a disguise,
Even warriors need to cry,
It’s not weakness, it’s just real,
Broken hearts are made to heal.
Tell me your fears, tell me your pain,
Let your soul breathe again,
Even the stars lose their light,
But they still shine through the night.
No more hiding, no more shame,
Let your heart call out my name,
You are seen, you are heard,
You are loved, you belong."
Silent tears fall like the rain, (Oh-oh-oh!)
But your pain is not in vain, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let it out, let me in,
I will hold you through the wind.
I will hold you, I will hold you…
Track 5: A Mother’s Prayer
Oh my child, I see your pain,
You smile, but I know the rain…
You carry the world on your shoulders,
But even the strongest get colder.
Come lay your head upon my chest,
Feel the heartbeat of love and rest,
No battle is yours to fight alone,
You will always have a home.
Oh, my child, you are not alone,
No storm can take away your throne…
Oh, my love, don’t be afraid,
The light will find you once again.
I pray for you, (Oh-oh-oh!)
That your mind will know peace, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
That your heart will be free,
May the weight on your soul disappear.
Disappear, disappear…
Life is a river, it twists, it turns,
Sometimes it flows, sometimes it burns…
But even the darkest night must fade,
And the sun will shine another day.
If the world should ever make you doubt,
Remember where you came from now,
You are strong, you are wise,
You were made to rise.
Oh, my child, don’t run away,
Your burdens will not last always,
No matter how far you roam,
Love will always bring you home.
I pray for you, (Oh-oh-oh!)
That your mind will know peace, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
That your heart will be free,
May the weight on your soul disappear.
Disappear, disappear…
Track 6: Ubuntu – We Heal Together
No one walks this road alone,
No one carries pain alone,
If you cry, I feel the rain,
If you heal, I heal the same.
From the village to the town,
We lift each other when we’re down,
One people, one love,
One spirit rising up above.
When you fall, we pick you up! (Ubuntu!)
When you cry, we share the cup! (Ubuntu!)
Through the fire, through the pain,
Together we will rise again!
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
I am strong because of you! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Together we shine, together we move!
One people, one love, one light, we rise!
No more silence, no more fear,
When you speak, we all can hear,
No more shame, no more doubt,
Your voice is strong, let it out!
If you struggle, take my hand,
This is how we take a stand,
Love will break the walls we build,
No more pain, we will be healed.
We rise, we rise, we rise together!
We heal, we heal, we heal together!
No chains, no fear,
Ubuntu’s voice is loud and clear!
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
I am strong because of you! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Ubuntu, Ubuntu! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Together we shine, together we move!
One people, one love, one light, we rise!
Track 7: Breathe
Take a moment, slow it down,
Let the world fade all around,
Close your eyes, feel the air,
You are safe, you are here.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Every moment passes by,
No need to rush, no need to fear,
Let the silence draw you near.
Oh-oh, let the worries go,
Oh-oh, feel the river flow…
No need to fight, no need to run,
Breathe it in, the war is done.
Breathe in, let the pain go, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Exhale, let the love flow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Every breath is a new chance,
You are stronger than you know.
You are stronger, you are whole…
If the sky turns dark and cold,
Let your heart be soft, not closed,
Storms will come and storms will leave,
But you’re still standing, still at peace.
Even the trees bend in the wind,
But they don’t break, they rise again,
So don’t hold tight, don’t hold fear,
Let the rhythm pull you near.
No more running, no more chains,
Feel the sunlight on your face,
No more sorrow, no more weight,
Breathe in love and let it stay.
Breathe in, let the pain go, (Oh-oh-oh!)
Exhale, let the love flow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Every breath is a new chance,
You are stronger than you know.
You are stronger, you are whole…
Track 8: Papa, It’s Okay
Papa, I see the lines on your face,
The weight of the world, time you can’t replace,
You gave your all, never let us see,
But Papa, you can cry, you can talk to me.
You carried the storms, hid the rain,
Swallowed your worries, masked the pain,
But even the strongest need to fall,
Even warriors can lose it all.
Oh-oh, Papa, it’s okay…
You don’t have to fight alone today,
Oh-oh, Papa, dry your eyes,
Even heroes need a place to cry.
Papa, it’s okay… (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lay your burdens down today… (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
You don’t have to be so strong,
We can carry this together all along.
All along, all along…
I know they told you men don’t break,
That showing pain is a mistake,
But love was never meant to hide,
It’s safe with me, it’s warm inside.
You taught me how to walk and run,
But now, Papa, let me be the one,
To hold you close, to let you breathe,
To show you love, to let you be free.
No more silence, no more shame,
Papa, call my name,
No more hiding, no more fear,
Let the pain disappear.
Papa, it’s okay… (Oh-oh-oh!)
Lay your burdens down today… (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
You don’t have to be so strong,
We can carry this together all along.
We can carry this together…
Track 9: Sun Will Shine Again
I see the way you hide your pain,
Walking through life in the pouring rain,
You say you’re fine, but I see the truth,
The weight of the world is crushing you.
But even the darkest night must fade,
Even the storm will find its way,
Hold on tight, just one more day,
The sun will shine again.
Oh-oh, don’t let the fire die,
Oh-oh, keep your head up high,
Even when the road feels long,
You are stronger than you know.
The sun will shine again! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more tears, no more pain! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Hold on, just wait and see,
There’s light beyond the rain!
Shine again, shine again…
I know it feels like you’re alone,
But you don’t have to fight alone,
Lean on me, take my hand,
Together we will stand.
Even the trees lose their leaves,
But they still grow, still believe,
Seasons change, time will heal,
You will find your light again.
No more shadows, no more fear,
Your heart will rise, the sky is clear,
Lift your hands, feel the breeze,
The sun is shining over thee.
The sun will shine again! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more tears, no more pain! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Hold on, just wait and see,
There’s light beyond the rain!
Shine again, shine again…
Track 10: No Shame
They say ‘be strong, don’t let them see,
They say ‘real men never cry, just let it be,’
But tell me, how do I breathe when the world feels so heavy?
How do I fight when I’m drowning already?"
Mama told me, ‘pray and hold on tight,’
But some nights, even prayers don’t feel right,
Can’t fake this smile, can’t hide this pain,
I need a shoulder, don’t push me away.
Oh-oh, don’t turn away,
Oh-oh, I’m not afraid to say…
This life gets hard, this mind gets tired,
But I know I’ll find my way.
No shame in needing help! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No shame in healing yourself! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Mental health is real,
Let’s break the chains, let’s keep it real!
No shame! No shame!
They laugh when you say you feel low,
They tell you ‘shake it off, it will go,’
But pain don’t just fade like that,
You can’t run from what’s deep in your past.
So let’s talk, let’s be real,
If you’re hurting, don’t conceal,
Speak your truth, break the chains,
No more silence, no more shame!
If the mind is sick, let it heal,
If the heart is heavy, let it feel,
No more fear, no more blame,
Stand up tall, no more shame!
No shame in needing help! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No shame in healing yourself! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Mental health is real,
Let’s break the chains, let’s keep it real!
No shame! No shame!
You are not alone.
Track 11: My Mind, My Home
I used to fill my mind with fear,
Let the voices pull me near,
Told myself I wasn’t enough,
Let the darkness steal my love.
But I learned that the soul needs space,
A quiet place, a soft embrace,
To plant the seeds, to let them grow,
To make my mind my home.
Oh-oh, I close my eyes,
Oh-oh, I breathe in light,
No more running, no more war,
My heart is open, my mind is sure.
My mind, my home, (Oh-oh-oh!)
I will guard it, let it grow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No more storms, no more rain,
I have found my peace again!
Peace again, peace again…
I will fill my walls with grace,
Let the love take fear’s place,
Every wound, every scar,
They don’t define who we are.
Every heartbeat, every day,
I choose to rise, I choose to stay,
No more doubt, no more chains,
I reclaim my home again.
No more shadows, no more fear,
Let the light come shining here,
Every breath, every stone,
Builds the peace inside my home.
My mind, my home, (Oh-oh-oh!)
I will guard it, let it grow, (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
No more storms, no more rain,
I have found my peace again!
Peace again, peace again…
Track 12: Letter to My Younger Self.
Dear younger me, I know you’re scared,
So many questions, too much to bear,
You wonder if you’ll ever be enough,
If the world will see your light and love.
You hide your dreams, afraid to fly,
You hold your tears, afraid to cry,
But let me tell you, it’s okay,
You will find your way someday.
Oh-oh, don’t be afraid,
Oh-oh, storms will fade,
You are stronger than you know,
Keep your heart, keep your soul.
One day you’ll rise, one day you’ll see,
The strength you had inside was always free,
No more fear, no more doubt,
You were born to shine, don’t let it burn out!
Don’t let it burn out…
Dear younger me, you’ll lose some friends,
You’ll break your heart and learn to mend,
Not every road will be so clear,
But every lesson brings you here.
So take your time, don’t rush to grow,
Not all who leave are meant to go,
You are enough just as you are,
You were always born to shine like stars.
No more fear, no more pain,
Let the sunlight dry the rain,
Hold your dreams, don’t let them go,
You are loved, this you must know.
One day you’ll rise, one day you’ll see,
The strength you had inside was always free,
No more fear, no more doubt,
You were born to shine, don’t let it burn out!
Don’t let it burn out…
Track 13: Lift Me Up.
I’ve seen the nights that never end,
I’ve walked through fire, lost some friends,
But even when the sky turns grey,
I know my light won’t fade away!
I’ve been broken, I’ve been weak,
Fell so low, forgot to speak,
But now I stand, now I rise,
No more tears in my eyes!
Oh-oh, lift me higher,
Oh-oh, take me there,
Feel the rhythm, hear the drum,
I know my time has come!
Lift me up, don’t let me fall! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Fill my soul with love so tall! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let me dance, let me shine,
I am healing, I am divine!
We rise, we shine, we dance, we move!
No more chains, no more fear,
Let the music pull you near,
Shake off the past, let go of pain,
We will rise, we will reign!
Turn the music up, feel the beat,
Let your body move, move your feet,
The battle’s done, the war is won,
It’s time to shine just like the sun!
Rise up, stand tall,
Let your heart hear the call,
No more sorrow, no more pain,
We are whole again!
Lift me up, don’t let me fall! (Oh-oh-oh!)
Fill my soul with love so tall! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Let me dance, let me shine,
I am healing, I am divine!
We rise, we shine, we dance, we move!
Track 14: Final Prayer – We Will Be Alright.
If your heart is heavy, lay it down,
If the world feels cold, love will surround,
If the road is dark and you can’t see,
Know that peace will come, just breathe.
Every wound will turn to grace,
Every storm will find its place,
You are held, you are whole,
Let your spirit know.
Oh-oh, dry your tears,
Oh-oh, rest your fears,
The night will end, the sun will rise,
You will see the light inside.
We will be alright! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more sorrow, no more night! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Through the fire, through the storm,
We will rise, we’ll carry on!
We will rise, we will heal, we are whole!
Even if the road is long,
Even if you feel so gone,
Hold on tight, don’t lose your way,
Love will guide you home someday.
There is healing in the sound,
There is peace all around,
Listen close, feel the drum,
You are safe, you are loved.
No more sorrow, no more chains,
We are free, we are changed,
No more darkness, no more pain,
We are whole again!
Final Chorus – Soulful & Freeing
"We will be alright! (Oh-oh-oh!)
No more sorrow, no more night! (Eh-yeah-yeah!)
Through the fire, through the storm,
We will rise, we’ll carry on!
We will rise, we will heal, we are whole!
