Beautiful Horizon

[Intro] (Soft guitar arpeggio reminiscent of "The Only Exception", subtle shaker rhythm, gentle synth pad swell) [Verse 1] Sunlight breaks across the empty street Another morning, feeling incomplete I built these walls so thick and strong and high Afraid to trust, afraid to even try But then your voice cut through the silent grey A melody that wouldn't go away You found the crack, the chink within the stone And suddenly, I wasn't so alone [Pre-Chorus] They said love's just a game, a fleeting sound But with you standing here, my feet touch solid ground No more pretending, no more holding back the tide You saw the truth I always tried to hide [Chorus] (Ooh) You are my beautiful horizon Where every fear I held has finally gone (Ooh) A light I never thought I'd see You're the only exception meant for me (B**t shifts subtly, hint of Lambada syncopation in the bass and percussion) And like the fairground spinning, colors bright and clear This dizzy feeling holding you so near Our rhythm starts, a heartbeat strong and new This dance, this love, belongs to me and you [Verse 2] Remember nights beneath the paper moon? The painted stars, a promise coming true The calliope played songs of sweet release And in your arms, I found a perfect peace No need for words, the silence understood This fragile, precious, unexpected good You took my hand, no hesitation there A leap of faith breathed into the evening air [Pre-Chorus] They said it wouldn't last, just summer rain But here we are, through joy and through the pain The world keeps turning, seasons come and go But this connection only seems to grow [Chorus] (Ooh) You are my beautiful horizon Where every fear I held has finally gone (Ooh) A light I never thought I'd see You're the only exception meant for me (Stronger Lambada rhythm emerges, driving percussion, brighter brass stabs) And like the fairground spinning, colors bright and clear This dizzy feeling holding you so near Our rhythm starts, a heartbeat strong and new This dance, this love, belongs to me and you [Bridge] (Key change upwards, soaring strings join) Is this real? Can it be? This certainty you've given me? No looking back, no second guess Just forward motion, blessed The music swells, a rising tide With you forever by my side This beautiful horizon, wide and free Is where you are, and you with me [Chorus] (Ooh) You are my beautiful horizon Where every shadow fades before the sun! (Ooh) A light that guides me constantly! You're the only truth I'll ever need! (Full band with prominent Latin percussion, driving bassline, soulful brass) And like the fairground spinning, wild and uncontrolled! This story's better than I ever could have told! Our rhythm's locked, forever strong and true! This dance, this love, belongs to me and you! [Outro] (Instrumentation simplifies gradually - guitar, bass, percussion fade down) Beautiful horizon... (Vocals echo softly) Meant for me... (Percussion fades) Beautiful horizon... (Guitar arpeggio fades) Our rhythm... (Final synth pad holds and fades to silence)
