01:00Do you come here alone, or is someone important with you tonight?
01:04My mother is here. She's sitting somewhere out there watching me.
01:10What made you decide this was the moment to come audition here?
01:15I felt like I had no voice left and I needed...
01:19When you say no voice, what do you mean by that exactly?
01:25I've been controlled for years.
01:28Like, I didn't belong to myself anymore.
01:34Controlled how? Are you talking about work or something more personal?
01:39Work became everything. Decisions, time, even my feelings were not mine.
01:45That sounds incredibly difficult. How long have you been living like this?
01:50Since I was a teenager, I kept going because I thought it mattered.
01:56Did anyone support you through that, or were you carrying it alone?
02:00My mother did, but I couldn't tell her everything I was facing.
02:06Why couldn't you tell her what was stopping you from opening up?
02:11I didn't want her to worry. She already sacrificed too much for me.
02:18Was there a moment when things became too much to keep inside?
02:23Yes. Recently, I realized I was losing myself completely, and I felt trapped.
02:29Trapped in what sense? Emotionally, or physically, or both together?
02:36Both. I couldn't leave, and I couldn't speak without consequences following.
02:44That must have been terrifying. How did you find strength to stand here?
02:49I thought about my mother, and how she deserves to see me free.
02:56Does she know how much pain you've been carrying all this time?
03:04Not everything, but I hope she understands what I'm trying to say tonight.
03:11And what are you hoping we understand from your performance today?
03:16That I'm still here, and I still want to be heard, honestly.
03:21Are you scared right now, standing here in front of all these people?
03:26Uh, yes, but it feels different. Like, fear is finally not controlling me anymore.
03:36If your mother could hear one thing from you tonight, what is it?
03:44That I'm sorry for hiding my pain, and I miss being myself again.
03:52That's very powerful.
03:55Do you feel ready to share this through your song?
04:03I'm ready.
04:05Even if my voice shakes, I need to do this.
04:12Take your time. This stage is yours when you feel prepared.
04:15We're listening, and we're here with you in this moment.
05:19But someone forced their way at last
05:24There's something I was forced to hide my voice
05:28Still shaking in the air
05:34Like broken truth no one will hear
05:43Each heavy doorstep knew my name
05:51Contracts written tied in chains
05:58They dressed me up in borrowed smiles
06:04While counting profit all the while
06:08A part of me they couldn't own my message
06:13Trembling through the air
06:17Like final words in my despair
06:39Maybe truth was locked away
06:46Behind the threats they made me obey
06:50But if you hear me late at night
07:01That's my heart that couldn't fight
07:05Do you miss me too?
07:09When the silence starts to burn
07:13Can you feel my fear?
07:17When the rumors start to turn
07:20I was fading
07:23Barely breathing
07:25In the hands that pulled the strings
07:28If you feel me like I feel you
07:32Hear the cry
07:37Beneath my wings
07:48Beneath my wings
08:14Beneath my wings
08:17Beneath my wings
08:20Beneath my wings
08:21Beneath my wings
08:21Beneath my wings
08:21Beneath my wings
08:27Beneath my wings
08:28Beneath my wings
08:28Beneath my wings
08:28Beneath my wings
08:29Beneath my wings
08:29Beneath my wings
08:29Beneath my wings
08:31Beneath my wings
08:33Beneath my wings
08:46You
