Time is a Lanterns

{Verse 1 —my voice with American accent]
I was born into the golden hum of Casablanca nights,

Where vinyl spun like constellations and the world felt light.

Dylan whispered secrets at two in the morning haze,

My brother dreaming beside me through those tender, smoky days.

Barry White melted the walls, Janis set the sky on fire,

And the city breathed in rhythm, pulsing with desire.



[Pre‑Chorus-Duet male and female]
Every memory was a lantern I carried through the years,
Every song a gentle compass through the laughter and the tears.



[Chorus-Harmonized Duet]
Oh, where the music carried me,

Across the lands, across the sea.

From desert winds to Paris rain,

To New York nights that changed my name.

Love and rhythm shaped my scene—

This is my life, the road between.


[Verse 2 — my voice American accent]

Then the Mediterranean opened like a shimmering door,

And Paris took my youth and asked me gently for more.

On the steps of Sacré‑Cœur we sang into the sky,

Supertramp and the Beatles letting our spirits fly.

Prince painted purple nights, Madonna lit the flame,

Michael danced on moonlight, the city whispered my name.

Latin Quarter guitars, the Seine like a silver vein,

Café 10 sangria warming laughter in my veins.

Roland Garros summers, champions carved in clay,

Kim Wilde’s eyes like spells that carried us away.

Tina Turner rising, Eurythmics bending time,

Twenty three , my magic number, echoed like a rhyme.

[Pre‑Chorus-Duet male and female]
Every memory was a lantern I carried through the years,

Every song a gentle compass through the laughter and the tears.



[Chorus-Harmonized Duet]
Oh, where the music carried me,

Across the lands, across the sea.

From desert winds to Paris rain,

To New York nights that changed my name.

Love and rhythm shaped my scene—

This is my life, the road between.





[Verse 3 — harmonized duet]

Then the Atlantic opened wide, a deep electric blue,

And New York rose before me like a dream I always knew.

Café Pacifico glowing, China Club alive,

Nancy Martinez soaring as the city came to life.

Limelight, Palladium, nights that never slept,

Every heartbeat dancing to the promises we kept.

On the subway at 49th, destiny took my hand,

A woman with a future written in a foreign land.

Astoria mornings blooming, a family taking shape,

Love and music guiding every risk we dared to take.



Bridge



From Casablanca’s sun‑kissed dust

To Paris rain and wanderlust,

To New York stars through subway glass—

My life was written as I passed.






[Final Chorus-Layered Vocals-Male and Female]



Oh, where the music carried me,

Across the lands, across the sea.

From desert winds to Paris rain,

To New York nights that changed my name.

Every beat, every dream, every in‑between—

This is my life… the road unseen.
