Naiyana's joy for her city and her camera β her hunger to capture beauty and show the world her Thailand. The doorway into the film.
[Verse 1]
Sun comes up on Bangkok
Golden light across the sky
Grab my camera, grab my bag
Today I'm gonna fly
[Verse 2]
Street vendors start their morning
Temple bells begin to ring
Long boats on the river
I wanna capture everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Every face tells a story
Every corner holds a frame
Every moment here is golden
No two days are the same
[Chorus]
I see the beauty all around me
I see the magic in this place
I see the wonder in my city
I see it shining on every face
There's so much more I want to find
So many places I want to go
I see the beauty all around me
And there's still so much I don't know
[Verse 3]
Old man selling mangoes
Children laughing in the street
Monks walking in the morning
Every moment feels complete
[Verse 4]
But somewhere past the temples
Somewhere I have never been
There's a picture waiting for me
A world I haven't seen
[Bridge]
I want to show the world
What my eyes can see
The Thailand that I love
The home that lives in me
One day they'll see my photos
One day they'll feel it too
The beauty of my country
Through everything I do
[Final Chorus]
I see the beauty all around me
I feel the magic every day
I hold the wonder in my hands now
And I won't let it slip away
There's so much more I'm gonna find
So many stories left to show
I see the beauty all around me
And I'm ready now to grow
[Outro]
Ready now to grow
Watch me as I go
Larry's creed as a filmmaker: to reach into the dark and make strangers feel. It establishes who he is, so his coming loss will matter.
[Verse 1]
The morning light comes through my window
Coffee in my hand
There's a story waiting somewhere
That people will understand
[Verse 2]
It could be love, it could be loss
A thriller or a dream
But every story that I tell
Makes people feel, not just see
[Chorus]
I make them laugh
I make them cry
I make them wonder
I make them try
To see the world a different way
To feel something real today
That's why I do this
Make them feel
[Verse 3]
A scary movie in the dark
Can make your heart race fast
A love story on the screen
Can make the magic last
[Verse 4]
It's not the camera, not the lights
It's finding what is true
The moment when a stranger feels
What I'm trying to show to you
[Chorus]
I make them laugh
I make them cry
I make them wonder
I make them try
To see the world a different way
To feel something real today
That's why I do this
Make them feel
[Bridge]
When someone tells me that they cried
Or that they felt less alone
That's when I know the work I do
Has found its way back home
[Chorus - Final]
I make them laugh
I make them cry
I make them hope
I make them fly
To see the world a different way
To feel something real today
That's why I love this
Make them feel
Make them feel
[Outro]
Whether joy or tears or fright
I bring the stories into light
Not just to watch, but to reveal
The power when you make them feel
Denial, fury, and the slow walk toward accepting his failing sight β a man who lived through his eyes, watching the world go soft at the edges.
[Verse 1]
I hold the morning paper back
A little further than before
The words are harder now to read
Than they were the day before
[Verse 2]
The sunset that I used to love
Looks softer than it should
I tell myself it's nothing
But I know it's not that good
[Chorus]
I didn't see
The signs were always there
I didn't see
I thought I had time to spare
I put the work ahead of me
Now I'm afraid of what I'll lose
But maybe there's still time
If I choose
[Verse 3]
I skipped appointments, missed the calls
I said I was too busy
The world kept spinning, I kept working
Now the edges look too hazy
[Verse 4]
I know I have to face this now
I know I need some help
I can't keep hiding from the truth
I have to save myself
[Chorus]
I didn't see
The signs were always there
I didn't see
I thought I had time to spare
I put the work ahead of me
Now I'm afraid of what I'll lose
But maybe there's still time
If I choose
[Bridge]
Tomorrow I will make the call
Tomorrow I will start
I owe myself that much at least
To heal my body and my heart
[Chorus - Final]
Now I can see
What I was running from
Now I can see
What I've become
I let it go for far too long
But I still have the strength to choose
There's still some light
I won't lose
I won't lose
I choose
The unexpected gift of being unknown. The first person who truly sees him sees only a man who knows light β and after all the darkness, that feels good.
[Verse 1]
I'm sitting in the park today
Just watching people pass
When this girl walks up and asks me
About the light on the grass
[Verse 2]
She's got a camera in her hands
And questions in her eyes
She wants to know how I would catch
The way the sunlight flies
[Chorus]
You don't know me
You don't know my name
You don't know me
And I'm grateful just the same
You're looking at a person
Not a title or a past
You don't know me
And I hope this moment lasts
[Verse 3]
She shows me pictures on her phone
They're simple but they're true
There's something in the way she looks
That reminds me what I knew
[Verse 4]
I start to share some things I've learned
About the way to see
And for the first time in so long
I'm just allowed to be
[Chorus]
You don't know me
You don't know my name
You don't know me
And that's perfectly okay
You're talking to a person
Not a legend from before
You don't know me
And I needed this for sure
[Bridge]
No expectations, no pressure
Just a conversation in the sun
Maybe I can help her grow
Maybe I'm not done
[Chorus - Final]
You don't know me
But maybe that's a gift
You don't know me
You give my heart a lift
You're seeing just a person
Who can teach you what he knows
You don't know me
But maybe that's how this story grows
You don't know me
And that's just fine with me
Her awakening β a student's prayer to learn how to see. The last truly uncomplicated moment of the film.
[Verse 1]
What do you see when you look at the light?
What do you see that I'm missing?
Show me the world through a different sight
Tell me the secret you're whispering
[Verse 2]
You point at shadows, you frame the sky
You find the beauty in waiting
I try to see what you see inside
This art that you're creating
[Chorus]
Teach me, teach me
How to see what you see
Show me, show me
What the world could be
Every angle, every light
Every moment feels so right
What do you see?
What do you see?
[Verse 3]
You talk of moments frozen in time
Of truth that hides in motion
There's poetry in every line
A feeling, an emotion
[Verse 4]
The camera loves what the heart knows best
That's what you always say
I'm starting to see it, I must confess
The world in a different way
[Chorus]
Teach me, teach me
How to see what you see
Show me, show me
What the world could be
Every angle, every light
Every moment feels so right
What do you see?
What do you see?
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I'll understand
The magic in your hands
The story in a single frame
Why nothing looks the same
[Chorus - Final]
Teach me, teach me
How to see what you see
Show me, show me
What the world could be
I'm learning, I'm trying
I'm finally seeing
What you see
What you see
The mentor's song: wanting your student to surpass you, spoken privately, when she cannot hear it.
[Verse 1]
There's something in the way you look
At ordinary things
You see the world differently
You just don't know what that means
[Verse 2]
You ask me if you're doing it right
You doubt yourself too much
But I can see what you can't see
You've got the gift, the touch
[Chorus]
You don't see it yet
But I can see it clear
You don't see it yet
But someday it'll be right here
You've got something special
Something real inside
You don't see it yet
But I'll help you find your light
[Verse 3]
I don't have all the answers
And I don't have much time
But I know talent when I see it
And you've got something I can't define
[Verse 4]
So I'll give you what I can
Before my time runs out
Not because you asked me to
But because there is no doubt
[Chorus]
You don't see it yet
But I can see it clear
You don't see it yet
But I know it's there
You've got something special
That the world needs to see
You don't see it yet
But you will, eventually
[Bridge]
Maybe you'll be better than me
Maybe you'll go further than I did
That's what I'm hoping for
That's why I'm giving you this gift
You're worth the time
You're worth believing in
You just don't know it yet
[Chorus - Final]
You don't see it yet
But one day you will know
You don't see it yet
But I've seen you grow
You've got something precious
Don't let it slip away
You don't see it yet
But I see it every day
You don't see it yet
But I believe in you
She would trade her own eyes to keep the world alive for him. Already, without naming it, she is in love.
[Verse 1]
I saw you stumble in the hall today
You tried to hide it, looked away
The world you love is slipping through
And there's nothing I can do
[Verse 2]
You squint at colors, hold things near
The edges blur, the light's not clear
But still you smile and carry on
Pretending nothing's wrong
[Chorus]
The light is fading from your eyes
But you still see the sunrise
You're losing everything you know
But you won't let it show
How can you be so brave
When everything is fading away?
[Verse 3]
I watch you memorize my face
Like you're afraid it will erase
You trace the outline of the room
Fighting the coming gloom
[Verse 4]
You say each day's a gift you'll take
You'll make the most of what's at stake
You're teaching me that losing sight
Doesn't mean you lose the light
[Chorus]
The light is fading from your eyes
But you still see the sunrise
You're losing everything you know
But you won't let it show
How can you be so brave
When everything is fading away?
[Bridge]
I wish that I could give you mine
These eyes that work just fine
I'd trade them in a heartbeat to
Keep the world alive for you
[Chorus - Final]
The light is fading from your eyes
But you still see the sunrise
I'll be the one who remembers
Every frame, every light
I'll keep your vision burning bright
I'll be your eyes tonight
I'll keep your vision burning bright
The funny anxiety of a heart and a head at open war. It earns a laugh before the deeper feelings land.
[Verse 1 - Starting slow, building]
Why do I care what he thinks?
Why does my heart beat fast?
Why can't I focus on work?
How long will this feeling last?
[Verse 2 - Speed increasing]
Does he think about me?
Does he notice I stare?
Am I being crazy?
Does he even care?
Why does he smile that way?
Why do I notice his hands?
Am I imagining things?
Do I understand?
[Chorus - Release]
What am I thinking?
What am I doing?
Too many thoughts
My mind is pursuing
Is it wrong, is it right?
I can't sleep at night
What am I thinking?
What am I thinking?
[Verse 3 - Even faster, more questions]
Is he too old for me?
Is age just a number?
Could this feeling be true?
What's wrong with me, I wonder?
Does he see me as a student?
Does he see me as a friend?
Could there possibly be more?
How will this story end?
What if I said something?
What if he said no?
What if he feels it too?
How would we even know?
[Verse 4 - AVALANCHE starting]
What if people found out?
What would they all say?
Would they judge us harshly?
Would they look away?
Does he feel this tension?
Does he feel it too?
When our hands touch briefly
Does he feel what I do?
Is this what love feels like?
Or just infatuation?
Am I too young to know?
Is this my imagination?
Should I just ignore it?
Should I let it grow?
Should I say something soon?
Or just let it go?
[Chorus - Faster]
What am I thinking?
What am I doing?
Hundreds of questions
My brain is pursuing
Is it wrong, is it right?
He's on my mind day and night
What am I thinking?
I can't stop thinking!
[Verse 5 - FULL AVALANCHE - Rapid fire]
What if I'm wrong what if I'm right?
What if he's thinking of me every night?
Does he like the rain does he like the sun?
What makes him happy what has he become?
When did he start directing?
What's his greatest film?
Does he ever get lonely?
Does he sit and think of me untilβ
The sun comes up in the morning?
Does he lose his sleep?
Am I driving him crazy?
Or am I in too deep?
What if I'm reading this wrong?
What if there's nothing there?
What if he sees me as a child?
What if he doesn't care?
But what if he does care?
What if it's real?
What if these feelings
Are something we both feel?
[Bridge - Breathless, barely keeping up]
He's losing his sight
Does he need someone?
Could I be that person?
Am I the one?
No that's ridiculous
I'm just a kid
But the way he looks at me
Like he knows what I did
Like he sees right through me
Like he understands
Like maybe possibly
He'd hold my hands
[Verse 6 - IMPOSSIBLE SPEED]
Should I dress differently?
Should I wear my hair down?
Does he notice details?
Does he see me around?
Maybe I should focus
Maybe I should stop
But every time I see him
My stomach does a flip-flop!
What am I thinking?
What am I doing?
What am I thinking?
What am I thinking?!
[Final Chorus - Barely breathing]
WHAT AM I THINKING?!
WHAT AM I DOING?!
MY ENTIRE WORLD
IS COMING UNGLUED!
A million thoughts racing!
I can't make them stop!
WHAT AM I THINKING?!
MY BRAIN'S GONNA POP!
[Outro - Exhausted collapse]
Okay...
Deep breath...
Stop thinking...
Just... stop...
(pause)
...But what if heβ
NO.
Stop.
Thinking.
(longer pause)
...I can't stop thinking...
About him...
Help.
She stops fighting what she feels and names the thing that cannot be named in the room.
[Verse 1]
When did this change, when did it start?
This ache inside my chest
You're just my teacher, nothing more
So why can't I rest?
[Verse 2]
I watch your hands, I watch your face
My heart starts racing fast
This isn't right, I know it's not
But still these feelings last
[Chorus]
This is something more
Than I'm supposed to feel
Something more
Than what should be real
You're twice my age, you're my guide
But I can't push these feelings aside
This is something more
And I don't know what to do
This is something more
And it's all because of you
[Verse 3]
The way you say my name out loud
The way you lean in close
To show me how to catch the light
That's when I feel it most
[Verse 4]
I tell myself it's just a phase
A schoolgirl fantasy
But when you look at me that way
I know you feel it too, maybe
[Chorus]
This is something more
Than I'm supposed to feel
Something more
Than what should be real
You're twice my age, you're my guide
But I can't push these feelings aside
This is something more
And I don't know what to do
This is something more
And it's all because of you
[Bridge]
What would people say?
What would people think?
I'm standing at the edge
I'm right there on the brink
Of something wrong
Something true
I can't stop thinking about you
[Chorus - Final]
This is something more
I shouldn't want this much
Something more
Every accidental touch
I know it's wrong, I know I should
Walk away while I still could
But this is something more
Something more
This is something more
The map of everything unspoken. The way he holds her camera is the way he holds her, in every way he will allow himself.
[Verse 1]
You used to see the world so clear
Every color shining bright
But now the edges fade away
As shadows steal your sight
[Verse 2]
You're teaching me to see what's there
Beyond what eyes can show
The beauty hiding everywhere
The things only you know
[Chorus]
You will find me here
In the corners of your heart
You will feel me near
Even when we're far apart
Though the world grows dim
And the light begins to fade
I'll be your eyes, I'll be your guide
Through all the dreams we've made
[Verse 3]
You're beautiful when you create
Your hands know what to do
You see the world in ways I'm just
Beginning to see too
[Verse 4]
I watch you work and something stirs
A feeling like the sun
The way you smile, the way you breathe
You make me come undone
[Chorus]
You will find me here
In the corners of your heart
You will feel me near
Even when we're far apart
Though the world grows dim
And the light begins to fade
I'll be your eyes, I'll be your guide
Through all the dreams we've made
[Bridge]
Why do you make my heart race
Like sunlight through the dark?
Some say it's wrong, the years between
But love leaves its mark
I miss you when you're gone
I miss you when you're here
'Cause every moment that we have
Makes the ending crystal clear
[Chorus - Final]
You will find me here
In the corners of your heart
You will feel me near
Even when we're far apart
When you close your eyes
And you can't see anymore
I'll remember everything
Worth remembering you for
You will find me here
In the corners of your heart
You will find me here
We were never meant to part
Their love scene, scored not with a kiss but with shared creation β the closest these two are ever allowed to be.
[Verse 1]
You were standing by the staircase
Trying not to be seen
I was talking like I'm fearless
But shaking underneath
One small step across the marble
Your hand brushed into mine
Suddenly the crowded ballroom
Faded out of time
[Chorus]
Once upon this dance
Everything changed in a heartbeat
Spinning in your arms
Like the world made room for two
Hold me while we turn
Every wish feels like it could come true
If this is just a moment
Let it last a lifetime with you
[Verse 2]
You laugh
You say you're clumsy
I say you're perfect here
Counting all the chandeliers
In the sparkle of your tears
You whisper you've been lonely
Hiding in the seams
I say
"Stay a little longer
In this borrowed dream"
[Chorus]
Once upon this dance
Everything changed in a heartbeat
Spinning in your arms
Like the world made room for two
Hold me while we turn
Every wish feels like it could come true
If this is just a moment
Let it last a lifetime with you
[Bridge - soft, close duet]
What if the music stops?
What if the lights come on?
(answering line)
Then we'll still have these footsteps
Written in the floor
(voices rise together, orchestra building)
What if the clock is racing?
What if we can't stay?
Then let this turning
Burning moment
Guide us anyway
[Chorus - Final]
Once upon this dance
Everything changed in a heartbeat
Spinning in your arms
Like the world made room for two
Hold me while we turn
Every wish feels like it could come true
If this is just a moment
Let it last a lifetime with you
[Outro - whispered duet over swelling orchestra]
Once upon this dance
We found a story starting
Not an ending
Just a start
You and I
One heart
His restraint from the inside. He feels exactly what she feels β and he is the one who has to stop.
[Verse 1]
She laughs at something that I said
And my heart skips a beat
This wasn't supposed to happen
This feeling isn't sweet
[Verse 2]
The way she looks at me sometimes
Like I'm the only one
I have to turn away because
I know what I've become
[Chorus]
I feel it too
This thing I shouldn't feel
I feel it too
And it's too painfully real
But I'm the one who has to stop
Before this goes too far
I feel it too
But I can't follow where you are
[Verse 3]
She stays a little longer now
When our lessons are done
And every moment that we share
Makes it harder to run
[Verse 4]
I see the way she looks at me
When she thinks I don't know
And everything inside me says
That I should let her go
[Chorus]
I feel it too
This thing I shouldn't feel
I feel it too
And it's breaking what was real
But I'm the one who has to be
The adult in this room
I feel it too
But I won't let this bloom
[Bridge]
She's young, she has her whole life
I won't take that away
No matter what my heart wants
I know what I must say
This isn't love, it's wrong
I have to be the strong one here
[Chorus - Final]
I feel it too
God, I wish I didn't
I feel it too
But this door stays hidden
She deserves so much more
Than a man who's fading fast
I feel it too
But I won't let this last
I feel it too
But I have to let you go
His quiet awe: she had the gift from the very first day. He didn't give it to her β he just moved what was in the way.
[Verse 1]
The first time that she showed me
What she saw through her lens
I knew she was someone special
Right there and then
[Verse 2]
She didn't know how rare she was
How beautiful her mind
But I could see the genius
That she would come to find
[Chorus]
She had it all along
That spark nobody else could see
She had it all along
A gift meant to be free
She was always meant for greatness
She just needed to believe
She had it all along
Amazing to me
[Verse 3]
Some people walk through life
And never find their light
But she was born to create
To make the world feel right
[Verse 4]
The moment that we met
Something started there
A journey we would travel
Beyond compare
[Chorus]
She had it all along
That magic in her soul
She had it all along
Just waiting to unfold
She was always meant for greatness
I just got to watch her grow
She had it all along
The greatest gift I know
[Bridge]
We found each other
At the perfect time
Her talent met my eye
And everything aligned
She became herself
The person she was born to be
[Chorus - Final]
She had it all along
A light that fills the room
She had it all along
Like flowers made to bloom
She was always meant for greatness
To give the world her gift
She had it all along
And now the whole world lives
In the beauty that she makes
She had it all along
The sacrificial goodbye disguised as a gift β sending her forward because loving her means letting her go.
[Verse 1]
You're going to do amazing things
I can see it in your eyes
You're going to make the world feel
Every story that you find
[Verse 2]
There's so much waiting out there
Adventures you can't see
People you haven't met yet
Places you're meant to be
[Chorus]
Go live your life
The world is waiting for you
Go live your life
Show them what you can do
Take everything you've learned here
And make your dreams come true
Go live your life
I believe in you
[Verse 3]
You're going to love someone one day
With someone who deserves your heart
You're going to build a beautiful story
This is just the start
[Verse 4]
And when you're standing on that stage
Holding what you've won
You'll know that all the work you did
Was worth it, every one
[Chorus]
Go live your life
The world is waiting for you
Go live your life
There's so much you can do
Take everything you've learned here
And show them something new
Go live your life
I'm proud of you
[Bridge]
Don't look back with sadness
Look ahead with hope
Everything you're feeling now
Will help you learn and grow
This isn't an ending
It's your beginning
Go shine
[Chorus - Final]
Go live your life
Make every moment count
Go live your life
There's no dream you can't mount
You've got the talent and the heart
To make it all come true
Go live your life
The future's calling you
Go live your life
I'll be watching you
Go live your life
Heartbreak turning into resolve. 'My almost, my never, my sweet forever' β the whole film in seven words.
[Verse 1]
You said it's time for me to go
Move forward on my own
You said this story has to end
Before it's ever known
[Verse 2]
You said you care too much to hurt
The future I could have
But can't you see? My heart's right here
You're all I'm dreaming of
[Chorus]
But I'm letting go
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm letting go
Though it tears my world apart
You're doing what you think is right
Pushing me away tonight
So I'm letting go
Of everything we'll never be
[Verse 3]
You won't look at me anymore
You keep your distance now
The warmth that used to fill the room
Has gone cold somehow
[Verse 4]
I understand what you're protecting
The dreams you want for me
But walking away won't make me stop
Loving you just the same
[Chorus]
But I'm letting go
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm letting go
Though it tears my world apart
You're doing what you think is right
Pushing me away tonight
So I'm letting go
Of everything we'll never be
[Bridge]
How do I unlearn your face?
How do I forget your hands?
How do I stop seeing beauty
The way you taught me to?
Everything reminds me of you
[Chorus - Final]
So I'm letting go
Though I don't know how
I'm letting go
Starting right now
You'll always be my greatest teacher
My almost, my never, my sweet forever
I'm letting go
But you'll stay in my heart
I'm letting go
Even as it tears me apart
I'm letting go
Forgiveness and carrying him forward. His vision lives in every frame she will ever make.
[Verse 1]
I was so young, I didn't know
Why you had to let me go
Now I see you set me free
So I could grow and learn to see
[Verse 2]
You gave me light in all the dark
You gave me courage, gave me heart
And sometimes love means stepping back
You gave me wings, you gave me that
[Chorus]
I carry you
In everything I do
I carry you
The way you hoped I would
You taught me how to see the world
How to stand alone
And though you had to let me go
I carry you
I carry you
[Verse 3]
The gift you gave, I understand
Was teaching me to find my way
You loved me more than holding on
And now I'm grateful every day
[Chorus]
I carry you
In everything I do
I carry you
The way you hoped I would
You taught me how to see the world
How to stand alone
And though you had to let me go
I carry you
I carry you
[Bridge]
I forgive the distance
I forgive the pain
Your love was letting go
So I could find my way
Now I understand
[Chorus - Final]
I carry you
Even as the light grows dim
I carry you
You'll always live within
Every step I take, every dream I chase
I can feel your grace
And though you had to let me go
I carry you
I'll always carry you
I carry you
Naiyana's success number: the confident, radiant performer she has become. The one moment the film lets joy exist without cost.
[Verse 1]
The way you move those hips
Got me hypnotized tonight
Every curve, every dip
Girl, you're a perfect sight
Your skin like honey glowing
Under these low lights
I can't stop my mind from going
To places that feel right
[Verse 2]
Love the shape of your body
How you own every inch
The way you look at me
Girl, you got me convinced
Your lips, your thighs, your waist
Everything's divine
I want to know the taste
Of making you mine
[
Pre-Chorus]
You're exotic, you're fire
You're every fantasy
Girl, you're my desire
Pure electricity
[Chorus]
Miss Awesomeness, you're so fine
Love the way you're built, every line
Miss Awesomeness, you're turning me on
Girl, your body's like a perfect song
The curves, the grace, the way you move
Miss Awesomeness, I'm into you
I'm so into you
[Verse 3]
Imagination running wild
Thinking 'bout your touch
The way you drive me crazy
Girl, I want you so much
Your silhouette, your figure
Got me losing control
You're the kind of woman
That consumes my soul
[Verse 4]
Love how confident you walk
Owning all that beauty
The seduction in your talk
Girl, you do it to me
Want to trace those lines
With my fingertips slow
Every single curve of yours
I want to know
[Pre-Chorus]
You're exotic, you're fire
You're every fantasy (Every fantasy)
Girl, you're my desire
Pure electricity (Pure electricity)
[Chorus]
Miss Awesomeness, you're so fine
Love the way you're built, every line
Miss Awesomeness, you're turning me on
Girl, your body's like a perfect song
The curves, the grace, the way you move
Miss Awesomeness, I'm into you
I'm so into you
[Bridge - Breathy, intimate]
I see you in my dreams at night
Your body pressed to mine so tight
The image of you drives me wild
Sophisticated, yet so styled
Every inch of you is art
Girl, you've captured my heart
And my body wants what it wants tonight
[Final Chorus - Maximum energy]
Miss Awesomeness, you're so fine (So damn fine!)
Love the way you're built, every line (Every line!)
Miss Awesomeness, you're turning me on (Turning me on!)
Girl, your body's like a perfect song (Perfect song!)
The curves, the grace, the way you move (The way you move!)
Miss Awesomeness, I'm into you (I'm into you!)
I'm so into you
Yeah, I'm so into you
[Outro]
Miss Awesomeness...
You're everything I need
Miss Awesomeness...
You're my fantasy...
A teacher's pride and a man's ache: 'Somewhere in her film, I'm still alive.'
[Verse 1]
I had my time behind the camera
I told the stories I could see
Now there's a new voice rising
And she's better than I'll ever be
[Verse 2]
She's making people laugh and cry
She's making people dream
She's showing them the world
In ways they've never seen
[Chorus]
She tells the story
Bringing joy to everyone
She shows the vision
A new age has begun
For every heart and every mind
Every hope they're trying to find
She tells the story
And her work has just begun
[Verse 3]
I used to wonder what would happen
When I couldn't create anymore
But now I see she's opened up
A thousand brand new doors
[Verse 4]
The torch has passed to someone
Who will light the way ahead
She's writing all her own stories
Not the ones I would have said
[Chorus]
She tells the story
Bringing magic to the screen
She has the vision
The best I've ever seen
For every age and every soul
Making broken people whole
She tells the story
Living out her dream
[Bridge]
Possibilities are endless
When you've got a gift like hers
Imagination flowing
Through every single word
She's become what I hoped for
And so much more
[Chorus - Final]
She tells the story
Sharing visions no one's seen
She delivers magic
Making people feel and dream
For every person, every place
Putting wonder on their face
She tells the story
She's everything we need
She has the vision
Let her stories lead
[Outro]
I told my stories once
But now I pass it on
She tells the story
And the story carries on
The song of his passing. Not holding on to what burns, but releasing it into something that travels farther than grief itself: 'You taught me to turn the grief into gold.'
[Chorus]
Turn the grief into gold
That's what you taught me
Take the dark, take the loss
Hold it up to the light
Everything broken
Everything over
Can still burn bright
Turn the grief into gold
Triumph and grief held in one song: 'Where broken things have glory.' His loss reframed as his masterwork.
[Verse 1]
I see the world through his eyes now
Every color, every light
He gave me vision far beyond
What anyone can see with sight
[Verse 2]
He's almost blind but he still sees
More beauty than anyone
And what we shared, though we let go
Will never be undone
[Chorus]
I see the world through his eyes
Where every moment tells a story
Through his eyes
Where broken things have glory
He taught me how to find the light
To see the beauty in the fight
I see the world through his eyes
And oh, what a world it is
[Verse 3]
I found my purpose in his love
My courage in his heart
He gave me more than I could dream
He gave me a new start
[Verse 4]
And though we walk on different roads
And though we had to part
Everything I'll ever do
Carries him inside my heart
[Chorus]
I see the world through his eyes
Where every moment tells a story
Through his eyes
Where broken things have glory
He taught me how to find the light
To see the beauty in the fight
I see the world through his eyes
And oh, what a world it is
[Bridge]
Some love is meant to last forever
Some love is meant to teach
Some love gives you wings to fly
Then sets you free to reach
Our love was all of these
A moment and eternity
He'll always be a part of me
[Chorus - Final Build]
I see the world through his eyes
Every sunrise, every dream
Through his eyes
Nothing's what it seems
He gave me vision, gave me strength
Gave me courage, gave me wings
I see the world through his eyes
Through his eyes
[Outro]
And when his sight is finally gone
I'll be the one who carries on
The way he taught me how to see
His vision lives in me
Through his eyes
Through his eyes
I finally see
Through his eyes
The title song. What you give doesn't disappear when you do β it finds new eyes. The light goes on.
[Verse 1]
Someone shared their wisdom once
When I was young and new
They gave me what they'd learned in life
So I would know what to do
[Verse 2]
Every road I traveled down
Taught me something true
Those lessons made me wiser
And they helped me see it through
[Chorus]
Share the gift of everything you know
Help them learn and grow
Give them light to guide tomorrow
Show them where to go
Everything you've learned in life
Helps the next one shine
Share the gift of all you know
The light keeps moving on
[Verse 3]
I gave her all I'd learned before
The wisdom through the years
I showed her how to see the way
So her journey would be clear
[Verse 4]
Now she's teaching someone else
Sharing all she's learned
The wisdom keeps on growing
As the torch keeps being turned
[Chorus]
Share the gift of everything you know
Help them learn and grow
Give them light to guide tomorrow
Show them where to go
Everything you've learned in life
Helps the next one soar
Share the gift of all you know
The light goes on once more
[Bridge]
This is how we lift each other
Sharing all we've seen
Every lesson that we carry
Builds a better dream
She'll teach someone what I taught her
They'll teach someone new
The light becomes the future
When we share what's true
[Final Chorus]
Share the gift of everything you know
Let the wisdom flow
Give them light to guide tomorrow
Watch the magic grow
Everything you share today
Helps create what's new
Share the gift of all you know
Watch their dreams come true
Share the gift of all you know
That's how hope survives
Share the gift of all you know
Keep the dream alive
[Outro]
I gave her all my lessons
So her way would shine with light
She'll give hers to another
Making futures bright
One to another
Over and over
The light goes on
The light goes on
Naiyana's private healing β rebuilding herself slowly, from the inside out.
Every scar a softer story
Every tear a different prayer
I am scared and I am staying
I am hurt and I still care
The healing theme as a duet β two voices finding courage from the same place of doubt.
In my heart / it is hard / to believe in myself
I will find the courage / I will search for calm
I will find hope / peace and love
I will find myself to love again
Steps outside the story to speak to the audience: extend to yourself the grace you give strangers.
All those things you tell yourself
You wouldn't say to no one else
So why say it to yourself?
Knowing someone so completely that recognition becomes instinct β the song Larry could never sing to her face.
I know your footsteps on the floor
In a crowd, they stand out more
Your laughter echoes through a thousand laughs
But in all those thousands, none love you like I do
Song 9 from his side: everything the film never lets him say aloud.
I memorize your face
Before I lose the ability
Please let me hold this
Before the darkness gets stronger
His interior farewell β what he means beneath 'Go Live Your Life.'
You'll look back on this someday
And you'll understand why
This is me loving you enough
To say goodbye
