Nothing's Gonna Stop Me
Written and composed by Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1A]
I came from nothing but a restless soul
Grew up with silence where love should've shown
Watched my reflection in a cracked old frame
Told myself someday I'd rise from the pain
I've seen the shadows where the light gave out
Held on to hope when I was drowning in doubt
I've begged for answers when none would come
Still kept believing when the world went numb
[Verse 1B]
I've walked through fire with my eyes wide shut
Carried the weight of a heart torn up
I lost my way but I found my fight
Through the coldest dark, I became my light
I've been betrayed by the ones I trust
Buried my dreams underneath the dust
But every scar became part of me
And now I breathe like I was born to be free

[Pre-Chorus]
Every wound, every fall, taught me how to stand
Now I hold my story in my own two hands

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna stop me, not tonight
I've crawled through hell to find this light
No more silence, no more shame
I'm standing tall in the pouring rain
Nothing's gonna break what lives in me
This fire was forged in tragedy
I've paid the price, now let me be
No... Nothing's gonna stop me

[Verse 2]
I've walked alone where the lost don't speak
Wrote songs from pain when my soul felt weak
But every heartbeat kept time with grace
And pushed me forward to claim my place

[Pre-Chorus]
No chains, no past, no weight I owe
I've shed that skin -- now watch me go

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna stop me, not tonight
I've earned these wings, I've found my flight
No more fear, no more disguise
This is the rise after all goodbyes
Nothing's gonna bend what's built this strong
I've waited in the dark too long
This is my vow, my legacy --
yeah...Nothing's gonna stop me

[Bridge - Epic Instrumental with Spoken Line]
(Music swells: strings, guitars, cymbals, heartbeat kick drums)
"I didn't come this far just to come this far..."

[Final Chorus - Grand Finale]
Nothing's gonna stop me, not this time
I'm alive with fire, my soul in its prime
Let the winds howl, let the world spin
I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Nothing's gonna shake what I now believe
This is my truth, my one reprieve
No fear, no doubt, no plan B --
No... Nothing's gonna stop me

[Outro - Fading Piano & Strings]
Nothing...
Nothing's gonna stop me.
