[Intro: Female spoken]
Doc, this one’s for you.
You kept a place for my voice when I couldn’t find the way back.
[Verse 1: Female]
I had the words tucked deep, couldn’t lift them to the air,
You said, “Take your time, I’ll be right here.”
No bright-room promises, no pressure to pretend,
Just a steady hand beside me till the silence had to end.
Now I’m back on the page, got a breath I can trust,
Every note that I was saving comes alive from the dust.
Doc, you saw the spark when I was sure it was gone,
So I’m singing this part with your name in the song.
[Verse 2: Male]
Ashanti, that’s your voice—let it rise, let it run,
You did the hard miles; I just held the door open.
Every rough little take, every pause, every try,
You kept showing up with that fire in your eye.
No rescue story here, you were strong all along,
I gave you a room; you brought the whole song.
Now the crowd gets to hear what I knew from the start:
That voice got a home, and the home is your heart.
[Chorus: Female and Male]
[F] Doc, I’m singing again, and I’m saying your name.
[M] Ashanti, you came back and you carried the flame.
[F] You stood by the door till I walked through on my own.
[M] You turned every quiet room into a place of your own.
[Both] We made it together, but the voice is all yours—
Ashanti and Doc, let it ring through the doors.
[Verse 3: Female]
For the days I was doubting, you never talked over me,
You gave me the space to decide who I’d be.
This isn’t just a comeback, it’s a promise kept true,
Every line that I deliver carries thanks back to you.
[Outro: Female spoken]
Doc, thank you for believing I could sing again.
[Outro: Male spoken]
Ashanti, thank you for letting the world hear you again.
[Outro: Both]
Much love. We did this together.
