[Intro] [Smooth Jazz Saxophone]
(Saxophone melody)

[Verse 1] [Slow Tempo] [Emotional Vocal]
The city sleeps beneath a velvet sky
Another lonely night is passing by
My heart's a heavy stone, a whispered plea
For a love that feels like it was meant for me

[Pre-Chorus] [Building Intensity]
I've walked these streets a thousand times or more
Searching for an answer, knocking on doors
But every corner turned, the same old gray
Just waiting for the dawn of a brighter day

[Chorus] [Soulful] [Randy Crawford-esque]
And oh, I know my time will come around
When my spirit's lifted off the ground
No more shadows holding me in place
I'll find my freedom, feel the sun's embrace

[Verse 2] [Reflective]
The dreams I held so close begin to fade
Like colors in a sun-drenched serenade
But deep inside, a flicker starts to glow
A hope that whispers, "Don't let go, don't go"

[Pre-Chorus] [Building Intensity]
I've felt the sting of silence, cold and deep
Secrets that my weary soul does keep
But I believe a change is on the breeze
A sweet release, a moment of ease

[Chorus] [Soulful] [Randy Crawford-esque]
And oh, I know my time will come around
When my spirit's lifted off the ground
No more shadows holding me in place
I'll find my freedom, feel the sun's embrace

[Bridge] [Vocal Harmony] [Soaring]
This feeling deep within, I can't deny
A destiny that's waiting in the sky
I'll spread my wings and rise above the pain
And let my true self finally reign

[Chorus] [Soulful] [Randy Crawford-esque]
And oh, I know my time will come around
When my spirit's lifted off the ground
No more shadows holding me in place
I'll find my freedom, feel the sun's embrace

[Outro] [Fading Saxophone] [Whispers]
Feel the sun's embrace...
My time will come...
(Saxophone fades out)
