The Path Only I Could See by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

I created a song using Suno titled 'The Path Only I Could See', and it was made as a gift for Kim Dong Ryul. The lyrics were inspired by the book 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho.

The artwork featured in the videos was created by me using ChatGPT.

 Lyrics:

They pointed out the loudest roads
Where everyone was meant to go
But something quieter in me
Was drawing lines they couldn’t see

I tried to walk the way they walked
I tried to say the things they talked
But every step felt slightly wrong
Like I was walking through their song

Pre-Chorus
Then in the silence after dark
I felt the pull of something soft
A little light behind my ribs
That only I could hear enough

Chorus
So I followed my own small star
Not the one they see from far
Your star won’t lead where crowds have been
It shows the way you grow within
I learned my name by walking alone
By choosing paths that felt like home
And every step, though strange it seems
Was teaching me what freedom means

Verse 2
They laughed when I turned left instead
Said I would fail, said I was misled
But every stumble on the way
Taught me another way to stay

The road was thin, the night was wide
But still the light stayed at my side
Not bright enough for them to see
But always bright enough for me

Pre-Chorus
And when I doubted every choice
I heard again that gentle voice
Not loud like fear, not sharp like doubt
But warm enough to lead me out

Chorus
So I followed my own small star
Not the one they see from far
Your star won’t lead where crowds have been
It shows the way you grow within
I learned my name by walking alone
By trusting steps I’d never known
And every fall became a sign
That I was still on something mine

Bridge
Maybe one day they’ll understand
Why I refused their guiding hand
Not out of pride, not out of fear
But just because my path was here

And maybe I was never lost
Just learning how to bear the cost
Of choosing light they couldn’t see
Instead of theirs instead of me

Final Chorus
So I followed my own small star
Through every near and every far
Your star won’t lead where crowds have been
It leads you where you’ve always been
I learned my name by walking alone
By growing roots I couldn’t loan
And now I walk with quiet grace
At peace within my chosen place

Outro
Some lights are meant for everyone
Some lights are meant for one
And mine has always known my name
Long before I knew my way.
