Wild Accordion Soul

[Strofa 1]
Concrete cages, shadows on the wall
I hear the rhythm of the dust begin to call
White keys humming, mourning in the dark
But there’s a fever growing, fueling every spark
The bellows breathe a sigh, a heavy wooden chest
While the tabla beat is thumping deep inside my breast
I’m peeling off the labels, shedding every skin
The ceremony’s starting from the soul within.

[Ritornello]
I am the wind, I am the fire, I am the wide open sea
No more chains, no more whispers, I’m finally me!
Break the silence, let the thunder roll
This is the unbinding of my restless soul
Higher, higher, past the breaking sky
Watch the eagle wings begin to fly!

[Strofa 2]
The piano weeps a melody of all I’ve left behind
Broken gears and rusted clocks, the shackles of the mind
But the accordion is laughing, dancing through the street
Ancient drums are waking up the spirit in my feet
I don’t need a map, I don’t need a crown
I’m a hurricane of rhythm, you can’t hold me down
Every vibration is a wall falling thin
The cage is wide open, let the sun rush in.

[Bridge]
(Powerful Belting)
I felt the weight! 
I felt the fear!
But the rhythm cleared the atmosphere!
Drumming on the bones, drumming on the earth
This is more than life, this is a rebirth!
Freedom!
Freedom is the only sound!
Lifting my feet off the hollow ground!

[Ritornello]
I am the wind, I am the fire, I am the wide open sea
No more chains, no more whispers, I’m finally me!
Break the silence, let the thunder roll
This is the unbinding of my restless soul
Higher, higher, past the breaking sky
Watch the eagle wings begin to fly!

[Outro]
(Vocal improvisations over Tabla and Accordion)
Let it move you...
Unbound.
Unseen.
Unstoppable.
I’m free.
(Fades out with a final, soulful piano chord)
