4. Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Amidst the fury, amidst the fight,
Out in the darkness, searching for light,
In hidden corners, where shadows play,
We find our voices, we find our way.

Chorus:
Riding on the whispers of the divine,
Breaking shackles, crossing the line,
In the rhythm, in the rhyme,
We find the courage, we redefine.

Verse 2:
Through shattered windows, through broken doors,
In silent prayers, amidst uproars,
In every struggle, in every pain,
We find our music, we start again.

Chorus:
Riding on the whispers of the divine,
Breaking shackles, crossing the line,
In the rhythm, in the rhyme,
We find the courage, we redefine.

Bridge:
In unspoken words, in unsung melodies,
In the face of change, in the midst of realities,
We stand together, we rise above,
Fueled by the echoes of unspoken love.

Chorus:
Riding on the whispers of the divine,
Breaking shackles, crossing the line,
In the rhythm, in the rhyme,
We find the courage, we redefine.

Outro:
With every note, with every line,
In the echoes of time,
We are the Outgoing Pope,
With our music, we evoke hope.
