+ Show full styles

Verse 1 Eighteen summers, the morning calls your name The world’s a book still waiting for your page You’ll hear a thousand voices say, “Come follow me.” But only one belongs to who you’ll be. Don’t fear the roads that bend beyond your sight, The stars don’t hurry, still they find the night. Every choice becomes another thread you weave, Into the woman only you can be. ⸻ Pre-Chorus தமிழ் புது விடியல் உன்னை அழைக்குது, (A new dawn is calling you.) அன்பே, உன் இதயம் வழி காட்டட்டும். (Beloved, let your heart be your guide.) ⸻ Chorus Go where your kindness shines the brightest light, Stand for what’s true when wrong feels easy. Choose the friends who help your spirit grow, Not the ones who only love the show. Français Mon cœur, avance sans peur, (My heart, move forward without fear.) La lumière est déjà en toi. (The light is already within you.) Sanskrit सत्यं वद। धर्मं चर। (Speak the truth. Walk the path of righteousness.) You are more than what tomorrow brings, You become the choices that you keep. ⸻ Verse 2 Some will measure life by wealth and fame, Some will chase applause without a name. Build your house with honesty and grace, For character is time that leaves no trace. Love should never ask you not to fly, Nor steal the wonder sleeping in your eyes. Find the soul who walks beside your dreams, Not one who asks you what they should have been. ⸻ Bridge Русский Дорога длинная, но сердце знает путь, (The road is long, but the heart knows the way.) Сквозь ветер и рассвет продолжай свой путь. (Through wind and dawn, keep walking your path.) தமிழ் வேர் மறக்காதே, (Don’t forget your roots.) வானம் தொட பயப்படாதே. (Don’t be afraid to touch the sky.) Sanskrit उत्तिष्ठ। जाग्रत। (Rise. Awake.) Read the stories older than your own, Hold your family close wherever you roam. Laugh until the years become your song, And if you fall… rise wiser, growing strong. ⸻ Final Chorus Go where your kindness lights another soul, Leave each place a little more whole. Keep your wonder through the passing years, Hold your courage even through your tears. Français Va, mon étoile, (Go, my star,) Le monde t’attend. (The world is waiting for you.) Русский Choir О-о-о… лети… лети… (Oh… fly… fly…) தமிழ் உன் ஒளி உலகம் காணட்டும். (May the world see your light.) ⸻ Outro Sanskrit (soft chant) लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु। (May all beings everywhere be happy.) One day you’ll look behind your steps, Not counting victories or gold… Only the lives you gently changed, And the love you carried home.
