Toward the Morning by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

I created a song using Suno titled 'Toward the Morning', and the lyrics were inspired by the manga 'Basara' by Tamura Yumi.

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

 

 

 

 Lyrics:

Verse 1
They called my name like it was duty
Not like a child’s uncertain voice
They tied the future to my heartbeat
And said I never had a choice
The crown was carved from expectations
The path was written in my skin
Every step was born from fear
Of what would happen if I didn’t begin

Pre-Chorus
I learned to smile through all the weight
Learned to stand when I would fall
Not because I felt courageous
But because there was no one else at all

Chorus
They placed the future in my shaking hands
And called it hope, and called it fate
I walked because there was no one else
No one to carry what I hate
I carried tomorrow on my back
Through broken roads and endless night
Not because I wanted glory
But because someone had to fight

Verse 2
Every dream I tried to keep small
Was swallowed by the bigger need
I buried who I used to be
To become what the world decreed
They praised the strength I never chose
They feared the weakness I concealed
But every wound became a reason
To protect the truth I couldn’t yield

Pre-Chorus
I envied children chasing sunlight
Free from names they didn’t earn
But every tear I never showed them
Fed the fire I had to learn

Chorus
They placed the future in my trembling hands
And said, “The world depends on you”
So I learned to walk through shattered faith
And make the impossible feel true
I carried tomorrow on my back
Through every doubt I couldn’t say
Not because I trusted destiny
But because I chose to stay

Bridge
Maybe I’m tired
Maybe I’m breaking
Maybe I never wanted this crown
But if I stop, the world keeps falling
And there’s no one else around
So even if my voice is shaking
Even if my hope feels thin
I’ll keep walking toward the morning
Not for fate — but for the child within

Final Chorus
They placed the future in my open hands
And I decided how to hold
Not as a curse I must obey
But as a story I would mold
I still carry tomorrow on my back
But now I walk because I choose
Not just the child they forced to rise
But the future I refuse to lose

Outro
I was never born a savior.
I was just the one…
Who kept walking.
