When I wrote Unbreakadream, I wasn't just thinking about following our dreams. I was thinking about what happens the moment we find the courage to share them.
The truth is, we don't always receive the support we hope for. Sometimes people encourage us. Sometimes they stay silent. And sometimes, consciously or unconsciously, they become the reason we start questioning whether we should keep going.
Over time, I've learned something that completely changed the way I see creativity and the people behind it: no one has the right to slow down someone else's dream.
This song is also a little mea culpa.
Sometimes I feel guilty because I don't always take enough time to listen to every song that's shared here, or to leave a comment or a like for every artist. Not because I don't care... quite the opposite. There are simply not enough hours in a day.
But I want you to know something.
Everything I've listened to has reminded me of one thing: I've never heard a song that made me think, "This shouldn't exist." Quite the opposite. Every song carries a piece of the person who created it. Every voice has something unique to say. Every artist deserves to be heard before they're judged.
So if I haven't commented on your music yet, or if I haven't reacted to something you've shared, please don't mistake my silence for indifference.
Unbreakadream is my way of saying...
Keep creating. Keep writing. Keep singing. Keep building.
Because the world doesn't need fewer dreamers.
It needs more people willing to protect someone else's dream as much as their own.
And if this song helps even one person keep believing in theirs...
Then it was worth writing.
======================
[VERSE]
I still remember drawing suns
Too wide to fit the page
Back when every dream I had
Refused to live in a cage
Nobody laughed at open skies
Or measured hope by size
Until the voices dressed as love
Began to draw my lines
They never stole tomorrow
They never broke my wings
They only moved the horizon
And called it growing up
[PRE-CHORUS]
Maybe you know that feeling
Making your colors fade
Smiling inside a smaller life
So someone else could stay
But flowers never ask the ground
If they deserve the spring
And I was never born to hide
The light I came to bring
[CHORUS]
No one has the right
To tell your heart where hope should end
No one has the right
To make your soul pretend
No one has the right
To shrink the sky inside your eyes
Some people never break your wings
They teach you not to fly
The sky does not belong
To fear, to shame, to pain
And every dream you refuse to lose...
Becomes Unbreakadream.
[VERSE]
I tried to pour my ocean
Into someone else's glass
Apologized for every wave
That somehow made it past
I called my silence wisdom
I called my fear control
Until I heard a younger me
Still knocking in my soul
Some people call it danger
When courage starts to rise
But maybe what they really fear
Is seeing their own sky
[PRE-CHORUS]
If my voice sounds unfamiliar
Maybe now it's finally mine
The sunrise never asks the night
For permission to shine
So if your heart is trembling
Let it tremble and still sing
The cage was never made of steel
It was made of listening
[CHORUS]
No one has the right
To tell your heart where hope should end
No one has the right
To make your soul pretend
No one has the right
To shrink the sky inside your eyes
Some people never break your wings
They teach you not to fly
The sky does not belong
To fear, to shame, to pain
And every dream you refuse to lose...
Becomes Unbreakadream.
[BRIDGE]
Maybe you think
I'm singing about me
I am
But every dream begins alone
Until another heart believes
Maybe you buried something
Because somebody called it wrong
Maybe you lost your own voice
Trying to make theirs strong
But the sky never got smaller
They only stopped looking high
Don't inherit a horizon
That was never yours to try
[FINAL CHORUS]
No one has the right
To tell your heart where hope should end
No one has the right
To make your soul pretend
No one has the right
To shrink the sky inside your eyes
Some people never break your wings
They teach you not to fly
The sky does not belong
To fear, to shame, to pain
And every dream you refuse to lose...
Becomes Unbreakadream.
If one day someone rises
Because you chose to stay
Then every scar you carried
Helped another find the way
[OUTRO]
No one has the right
Not fear
Not doubt
Not time
The sky was never theirs.
Neither
Was your light.more
