Lyrics

Your grandfather missed his train in '45 So he stayed one extra night and met your grandma by surprise She was waitin' on a friend who never came But smiled when he said "Is this seat taken?" — that changed everything Your dad got kicked out of his first school band So he moved to a town where your mum had just began She dropped her keys, he bent to help, said "Nice to meet you" Nine months later, yeah that story led to you You're one in forever, a spark in the storm A billion near-misses, just to be born You're the ripple of chaos, the coin on its side A dance of decisions and stars that aligned So don't waste the miracle wearing a mask You're here against odds that no number could grasp An asteroid missed Earth by a blink of fate Or else mammals might've never had their break A fish once wriggled to the shore gasping for air Five hundred million years, just to get you there Your great-great-someone crossed the sea in fear Escaping war with nothing but a prayer and a tear And somewhere down the line a wrong turn was made Put your parents in the same café on that rainy day You're one in forever, a flicker to a flare From stardust to flesh, you're lightning and air Each breath that you take is a cosmic surprise You're built from the ruins of infinite tries So don't live in silence, don't settle for less You're not here by chance — you're beautiful, yes What if your mother had said no that night? What if a storm delayed that flight? What if one chromosome missed the cue? Would there even be a you? You're the sum of every gamble, kiss, and fall Every heartbreak, reroute, and late-night call And the fact that you're standing right here at all Means you've already won it all You're one in forever, the rarest of light A match struck in darkness burning so bright So scream if you mean it, laugh till you break Run with your fire, there's so much at stake You beat every silence, you conquered the void You're life in its glory — not to be destroyed So when the weight feels too much to lift Just remember You Are the gift
