I learned that silence speaks louder than a thousand voices
And some hard truths only thunder when you make the choices
Life never asks if you are ready for the climb
It drops you in the dark and says this is the time
I saw rich folks walking with their bankrupt souls
And poor folks smiling after days that took their toll
Friends turning into strangers over debts to pay
And brothers selling pieces just to get their way
Time costs everything, but no one gets to buy it
A thousand watches still cannot tell you how to find it
Fame lasts a moment, memory lasts a little more
What remains is only what you left the world before
They taught us how to win and never how to lose
How to show our teeth and hide the wounds we choose
Everybody chases light, few can face the night
It is easy loving life when the dream still feels right
We are stars too scared to really shine
Chasing tomorrow, leaving now behind
Tell me what a man is worth when money is the measure
What is a victory worth under all that pressure
If tomorrow never comes, what story would you tell
How many dreams did you delay because you feared you would fail
Maybe living is falling and still getting off the ground
If you never risk a thing, you have nothing to be found
The world wants you strong, but only while you serve
It cheers you on the rise, then forgets you when you hurt
It measures you by shoes, by cars, by what you wear
But never counts the wars you fought to still be standing there
A thousand names to call and no one on the line
Faces on a screen and empty hearts online
We ask how have you been, but we do not want the truth
We fear the quiet cause it talks us back to youth
Truth does not want the crowd, it only wants a witness
It grows in quiet rooms, away from all the sickness
Better burn a fake bond than live another lie
Better walk alone than kiss a painted smile
You cannot rewrite the past, but you can turn the page
Every scar is a chapter, not a life inside a cage
We are stars too scared to really shine
Chasing tomorrow, leaving now behind
Tell me what a man is worth when money is the measure
What is a victory worth under all that pressure
If tomorrow never comes, what story would you tell
How many dreams did you delay because you feared you would fail
Maybe living is falling and still getting off the ground
If you never risk a thing, you have nothing to be found
Do not confuse success with feeling satisfied
Do not confuse a cage with a life that fits your size
Do not confuse the noise with something that can guide
Or a crowd with someone standing truly by your side
Fear will close the doors, and trust will open roads
The ones who walk heads high are harder to bring low
Time will not say sorry and it will not wait for you
Half of what we call our choices are just orders we walk through
I saw fathers too proud to ever say they were wrong
Mothers too worn down to remember who they are
Kids growing up too fast with no time left to play
Still holding giant eyes that light the dark away
We live upon a wire made of quiet pain
Weighing up our worth in every breath we take
We want a glossy cover, picture perfect life
But every pretty cover hides a desperate night
So stop
Breathe
You are not what you own
You are not what you lose
You are not what they say you are
If you can still cry for something real
Then you are not truly lost
Life does not measure how hard you can hit
It measures how you stand after taking it
Courage is not no fear, it is walking on
With tired legs and the wish to be gone
Courage is not never shaking in the fight
It is moving forward when you want to turn and hide
One day we will have all the time we crave
But we will not have time enough to save
You only know the worth inside a day
When that same day has already slipped away
Then you regret the seconds you could not hold
Every I love you left unspoken, growing cold
So love while you can and speak before too late
Say sorry if you failed, do not hide behind your name
Life will keep on moving past the weight you carry
But you remain inside the hands you held so tightly
Tell me what a man is worth when money is the measure
What is a victory worth under all that pressure
We are stars too scared to really shine
Chasing tomorrow, leaving now behind
If tomorrow never comes, what story would you tell
How many dreams did you delay because you feared you would fail
Maybe living is falling and still getting off the ground
If you never risk a thing, you have nothing to be found
And remember this when everything feels gone
It is not too late
As long as you breathe
As long as you feel
As long as you still have something to love
It is not too late
Do not just ask how much time is left
Ask what you will do with all you have ahead
Then go
Live
