I was raised by this town
To believe the words they put inside me
They made me hide
Inside their loving arms around me

I turned away
I choose the path that I believe in
I stand today
Above the shady nights me
I fear nothing
But the fact that I'm afraid of everything
I knew my name
Would only be for lonely riding

[Chorus]
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way
I saw the light shining right in my eyes
Choose to be me
To be free to be my way

Inside the night
I write the lonely story of my life
It makes me cry
But I want to know it till last line
I fear nothing
But the fact that I'm afraid of everything
Destiny, blow it away
I'm made for lonely riding

[Chorus]

With a smile on
With a smile

Hey
Every day my sun keeps rising
Giving me the strength that I need
All the faith I need for only you and I

Happiness is here with me
It's made for all the days I see
Happiness is holding me around and round and round and round and round

[Chorus]

With a smile on
With a smile

[Chorus]

With a smile on
With a smile on

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
