Right from when I was younger, I always liked to sing in an empty hall, or sing while on the pedestrian bridge and nobody is thinking I have a problem or have this flash mob situation with my friends without having to plan it -the way they do in musicals. I don't think I have ever had the opportunity to have an empty hall to myself, so I came up with a solution -- sing like I'm in an empty hall. Now I'm not waiting or hoping to stumble on some empty hall while I am trying to have my peace and quiet but then turning the kitchen into my empty hall while cooking till my dad comes and says, "Viktorie, you are not the only one living in this house, bring your voice low", or singing at the top of my voice in my room at 2am while trying to catch sleep (how do I even catch sleep that way?), or singing in the shower because of course, that is everyone's studio. My point is, I felt like I was singing in an empty hall when I was recording this song in my friend's house. The song is beautiful and I hope you find it beautiful too.
Thanks to @verbal-d, @lordbutterfly and @silentscreamer for giving us this opportunity to showcase our talents.

Lyrics:
Where am I? Where am I going?
Is it somewhere that I want to go?
And when I get there, is that where happy is?
Or is it somewhere I already know?
Sometimes I feel like I cry without a noise
Sometimes I feel like somebody chose my choice
I have to run away, I have to sit and stay
I wanna live a life where I'm allowed to say
That I'm proud of the way that I spent my days
I can feel something growing
It is small but it's shifting the ground
When I was younger, I could hear it
But it's back, it's my sound
Sometimes I feel like I lost my only voice
But then I realized, only I can choose my choice
I have to run away, I have to sit and stay
I wanna live a life where I'm allowed to say
That I'm proud of the way that I spent my days
These days, all we ever really get are
Days to dream, and days to lose
I just need to choose my time
I have to run away, I have to stay
I'm gonna live a life where I am proud to say
That I followed my joy, I followed my heart
I lived this one wild life, I ripped it apart
I pushed through the corners, with no apologies
And finally, I can say I know the way
I'll say that I love the way that I spent my days!
