[Intro] Four sixteen... The second hand is moving. [Verse 1] He learned the trade from his father's hands, To draw the lines, to raise the walls. He built the bridges, laid the stone, He made the broken pieces whole. He took the road his father chose, A house, a wife, a child, a name. He gave the world exactly what it wanted, And never asked himself the same. At night, alone beneath the dark, A question waited in his heart: Is this the man I'm meant to be? Or just the man they made of me? [Pre-Chorus] A ticket in his coat. A suitcase by the door. For the first time in his life, He was going to choose his own. [Chorus] I lived my life, but never mine, I watched the years erase the lines. I knew their faces, knew their names, Then time came down and took its claim. Who was I? Who was I? I was the man they left behind, The one who stayed when all had died. I was here. I was alive. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] The station filled with strangers, A hundred lives beneath one roof. A hundred dreams, a hundred futures, No one knew what they would lose. Four sixteen. He reached inside his coat. Four seventeen. The world came down. Glass turned to steel. The lights went black. A thousand voices became one. Then silence. I remember smoke. I remember dust. I remember someone calling out. I saw a man beneath the stone, Still breathing, trying to rise. Blood upon his hands, Something familiar in his eyes. I reached for him. He reached for me. For one second through the dust, I thought I'd seen my own face. I didn't know his name. I only knew he had to live. [Break] Get up. [Chorus] I lived my life, but never mine, I watched the years erase the lines. I knew their faces, knew their names, Then time came down and took its claim. Who was I? Who was I? I was the man they left behind, The one who stayed when all had died. I was here. I was alive. [Verse 3] Years became names on a calendar, Faces came and disappeared. I had my children. I watched them grow. I watched them leave. I buried friends. I buried dreams. And learned how quickly seasons go. But every winter, before the dawn, I saw that stranger underneath the stone. I never knew if he survived. I never knew his name. But I remembered his eyes. And somewhere in the dark, A broken watch still marked the time. Four seventeen. [Bridge] An old wooden drawer. Letters. Photographs. A faded key. Then something cold beneath my hand. A watch. The glass was cracked. The hands were still. Four seventeen. I turned it in the light And saw the mark beneath the steel. A crooked line. A childhood scar. My father's knife. My hands began to shake. I saw the station. I smelled the smoke. I heard the falling glass. And then I heard the words again: One day I'll leave this all behind. [Break] I knew that voice. I knew those eyes. I knew the man. It was me. [Instrumental Breakdown] [Verse 4] The station filled with strangers. The same cold light. The same glass. The same suitcase at his feet. Four sixteen. Across the crowd, An old man watched him. Their eyes met. The young man stopped. He didn't know that face. But somehow... He knew. The old man reached for him. The world began to shake. And through the dust, Through the years, Through everything he had forgotten— He heard his own voice. Get up. [Final Chorus] I lived my life, and now it's mine, I see the truth behind the lines. I knew their faces, knew their names, And time can never take them away. Who was I? I know who I am. I was the man I left behind, The stranger waiting in my mind. I was here. I was alive. [Outro] And when the last voice speaks my name... I will remember. Four seventeen.
