Song Title
Passion On Its Own

Music Lyrics

[Verse 1:] The watch I fastened on my wrist, Glows up in the moonlight. Am I running out of time? Will I vanish in the night? (Vanish in the night) [Verse 2:] You left me stranded on the street, Deserted in the moonlight. No lighthouse in the dead of night, You left me nothing except, [Chorus:] My story, my world, my strength, my words, You can’t take it away from me. My song, my soul, my love, my gold, You won't take it away from me— I went from a high to a low, low, low, But I’ll make it, my passion on its own— [Verse 3:] You tried to push me to the ground, Change my story and my world, Change my love and my gold, But I’ll never, ever, ever, let you... [Bridge:] Cause I— Paint the canvas of my world, Palette colors, bright and bold, woah, oh, And I— Change the story how it's made, Never, ever wanna trade for… euphoria. Never, ever wanna trade for euphoria. [Chorus Altered:] My story, my world, my strength, my words, You can't take it away from me. My song, my soul, my love, my gold, You won’t take it away from me. I went from a high to a low, low, low, But I’ll make it, my passion on its own— Passion on its own— [Outro:] I went from a high to a low— Woah, never drowned my passion.

Leela is a freshman who loves pistachio gelato on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, but definitely not on Fridays because that's reserved for hazelnut crunch! Leela feel incredibly fortuante to be a part of this competition. Her song--which she wrote and recorded in her closet--speaks to finding hope in the midst of addiction. Putting together her piano, guitar, singing, sound recording, and video editing skills for the first time was a true challenge, but she feels humbled by the experience and is grateful for the support of her friends and family.
