(Intro - whispered, with shaker + soft sitar) Yeah, yeah — feel the earth, feel the beat Ooh, woo — breathe in, breathe out (Verse 1) Morning coffee on a cracked city stoop, braid in my hair, sun on my loop, Old mixtape spinning, mama's laugh in the booth — I stitch my past into proof. Graffiti heart on the subway wall, I learned to tango with every fall, Scars like constellations, map my rise — I hustle soft, I stand tall. Two steps forward, one deep breath, triplet bounce, I steal the set, Worked the graveyard shift, then grew a garden on the rooftop deck. They said “quiet down,” so I made a chorus — louder, prouder, sweeter, Turned late-night prayers into power plays, turned fear into a heater. (Pre-Chorus - call-and-response; layered harmonies, light acoustic strum) You feel doubt? (I feel love) — you hear noise? (I hear truth) You count losses? (I count lessons) — I count stars in my youth. (Chorus - sing-song hippie vibe, tight cadence, two-beat pauses) I am love / I am peace / I am wild, I am free — (Love. Peace. Free.) I am light / I am fire / I am waves on the sea — (Love. Peace. Free.) I am love / I am peace / I am wild, I am free — (Love. Peace. Free.) Say it back now — Love. Peace. Free. — (echo: Love. Peace. Free.) (Post-Chorus ad-libs) (Ooh) Wild and free — (yeah) Love. Peace. Free. — (whoo) (Verse 2) Stole a moment in the bookstore aisle, thumb through dreams, took a while, Left a note in an old paperback: “Grow loud, grow kind, file your smile.” Ran marathons with grocery bags, negotiations with childhood nags, Turned a diner counter into a throne; my anthem threaded through the tags. I speak in run-on rhythms, syncopated faith — bar for bar, I make the case, Punchlines with petals: “I plant a peace sign in every safe space.” I hustle with a tambourine, necklace of river stones and grit, When the world bets on my quiet, I show up with a full moon outfit. (Pre-Chorus - building) They bring thunder? (I bring calm) — they bring pressure? (I bring flow) They want edges? (I bring circles) — watch my colors as I glow. (Chorus - tighter, with clap on the two-beat pauses) I am love / I am peace / I am wild, I am free — (Love. Peace. Free.) I am light / I am fire / I am waves on the sea — (Love. Peace. Free.) I am love / I am peace / I am wild, I am free — (Love. Peace. Free.) Call it out — Love. Peace. Free. — (echo: Love. Peace. Free.) (Bridge - vulnerable then flip; minimal piano, whisper to roar) There were nights I mapped my sorrow like a weather chart — cold and raw, Counting coins and the empty space where applause used to live, jaw to jaw. I hid my trembling in a thrift-store jacket, told myself I’d wait for spring, But winter carved a clarity — I learned to stitch my own ring. Vulnerability: I leave my fingerprints on every broken door, Then flip the script — those marks are maps to every shore. Now I say sorry for no things, I say yes to the call, I’m the quiet revolution that hums through city walls. (Chorus - full band
