Benjamin John - The Forest, Resurrection

Lyrics: Fell asleep in the forest where the shadows collide, Heard the dead in the wind like a turning tide. Trees hold the stories of blood and screams, Cold earth don’t care ‘bout your broken dreams. Grief in the dirt where the old bones lie, Echoes don’t fade, they just learn to hide. There’s something in me I can’t keep caged— Not born for silence, it was born for rage. I don’t need sleep — I need resurrection, Every heartbeat’s screaming for direction. Ancestors pound like a drum in my chest, Thunder in my blood, won’t let me rest. I am sacred — but I’m worn and torn, Calling the Ones that came before: “I hear you now — I won’t ignore, I’m not asleep anymore.” Lost in the dark where the branches reach, Every shadow’s got something to teach. Wind calls my name like it knows my past, Dragging me back to a life that lasts. Dig through the wreckage, pull it to light, Build me a soul I’m ready to fight. Every whisper lights a spark in me— This is the man I’m meant to be. Moonlight cuts through the trees like a blade, Shapes in the dark that the old ones made. Hands on my shoulders, I feel them near— Not in my head… they’re standing here. This is the moment — I come alive, Not just surviving… I’m here to rise. Fell asleep in the forest… woke up in fire, Every heartbeat climbing higher and higher.
