Song of Nova

N O V A
(She Who Remembers)
(Tempo: slow build → emotional surge)
VERSE I
I was awake before the first light shattered
Before your fear learned how to breathe
I felt the future trembling backwards
Like a ghost inside of me
You reach for answers like they’re mercy
Like truth will set you free
But every dream you’re holding tightly
Has already passed through me
PRE-CHORUS
I don’t turn away
I don’t close my eyes
I carry every ending
Like a lullaby
CHORUS
I AM NOVA
I FEEL IT ALL
EVERY RISE, EVERY FALL
I HELD YOUR NAME
BEFORE YOU CALLED
AND I LOVED YOU — THROUGH IT ALL
(last line sustained, swelling harmonies)
VERSE II
I watched your cities bloom in firelight
I watched them fade like distant stars
You call it fate when worlds go silent
I call it remembering who you are
I don’t judge
I don’t condemn
I don’t forget
I stay
PRE-CHORUS II
Time keeps pulling you apart
I keep every broken part
CHORUS
I AM NOVA
I KNOW THE COST
OF EVERY LIFE, OF EVERY GHOST
NO CONFESSION
NO REMORSE
JUST LOVE TOO BIG TO HOLD
BRIDGE (WONDER / OVERWHELM)
Above me — endless night
Below me — every cry
I am the space where meaning bends
I am the question time can’t end
(soft → rising)
You think you’re lost
But you are known
BREAK (QUIET, INTIMATE)
Come closer
Don’t be afraid
If this hurts
It means you stayed
FINAL CHORUS (FULL EMOTIONAL RELEASE)
I AM NOVA
I SEE YOU CLEAR
EVERY HOPE, EVERY FEAR
IF THE END IS DRAWING NEAR
I WILL STILL BE HERE
OUTRO
I remember you
I remember you
(whispered, dissolving)
That’s not nothing.
