HEY DUDES
[Verse 1]
Hey dudes,
You ever feel small
Like the world’s too loud,
And none of it’s you at all?
Your dad said, stand tall,
But your heart just wants
To crawl out of that suit
And mean something.
Hey dudes,
I see you try
Swaggerin’ hard,
But blinkin’ shy.
Is there a man in there
Who knows how to cry?
Not just when your team loses,
But when you're dying
To be seen.
[Pre-Chorus]
I closed my door
Because the air outside
Said I should fold,
Smile small,
And let it slide.
But I was born loud.
Born stubborn.
Born with sparks between my teeth.
[Chorus]
Still, I believe in hands that don’t clench,
Eyes that don’t scan for prettier skin.
I believe in the man who waits—
Not for permission,
But for real connection.
Hey dudes…
Can you hear me yet?
[Verse 2]
Hey dudes,
You look so tired
Like your joy’s
On backorder.
You chase bodies.
Not voices.
You fear the ones
Who challenge your choices.
Hey dudes,
I’m not here to fix you,
Or burn for you,
Or shrink when you shine.
But if you’d stop the noise
I’m right here,
Soft thunder in a quiet storm.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve been called too much,
Too smart,
Too loud,
Too hard to love
By boys who never bothered
To dig beneath the loud.
Guess you missed the gold.
[Chorus 2]
Still, I believe in fires that last,
Not sparks that vanish after the laugh.
I believe in something slow and deep
Not just hands on skin,
But truths that keep.
Hey dudes…
Do any of you see that?
[Bridge]
Not your mirror,
Not your muse
I’ve got my own canvas,
My own bruises.
But dude, if you’d just sit with me
Not fix,
Not frame me
You’d find a treasure
Buried in the noise.
[Final Chorus]
I still believe in dusk-lit rooms,
In silence breaking into tunes.
In one voice—yours—saying I get it,
Not to win me,
But to really get it.
Hey dude…
Are you the one?
[Outro]
They called me Hope.
Not the soft kind.
The kind that stays.
Even when the fire goes out.
Even when no one comes.
Still waiting
For the one
Who sees the storm
And steps in anyway…
You’ll find me here!
