Paroles

[INTRO - medieval choir]

[Verse 1]
I’ve cried in rooms where silence ruled (RULED)
Where tears were seen as breaking tools (TOOLS)
But every drop that left my skin (SKIN)
Was proof of battles fought within (FOUGHT WITHIN)

[Verse 2]
I’ve held my heart with open hands
While others built their walls from sand
I’ve spoken truth that shook the ground
While they stayed safe, without a sound

[medieval choir solo]

[Verse 3]
I’ve bent, I’ve bowed, but never broke (BROKE)
I’ve carried weight they never spoke (SPOKE)
I’ve felt the world and let it in (IN)
And still stood tall beneath the wind (BENEATH THE WIND)

[Verse 4]
I’ve loved without a shield or sword
I’ve healed in ways they can’t afford
I’ve shown my soul, I’ve faced the ache
And made my peace with every break

[Chorus - medieval choir backup]
Soft doesn’t mean weak
It means I feel, it means I speak
It means I stand with open eyes
While others hide behind disguise
Soft doesn’t mean I fall apart
It means I lead with beating heart

[Solo ]

[Bridge]
Strength isn’t silence, isn’t stone
It’s choosing love when you're alone
It’s showing up when it’s not safe
It’s holding space when others cave

[Final Chorus]
Soft doesn’t mean weak
It means I feel, it means I speak
It means I stand with open eyes
While others hide behind disguise
Soft doesn’t mean I fall apart
It means I lead with beating heart

[Medieval Choir]
Softness is survival.
It’s the courage to stay open
In a world that begs you to close.
