Soniya, Fly High
This is a warm acoustic ballad about a friend leaving Solapur for Kyrgyzstan, sung with tender female vocals over fingerpicked guitar, soft piano and subtle strings. It holds pride and ache together, recalling chai stalls, shared secrets and a broken vase blamed on the cat.

Lyrics
Intro
Soniya, my friend, this one's for you
Before you fly so far away
Verse 1
We met in Solapur's summer heat
Two strangers on a crowded street
You laughed so loud, I had to smile
We talked for hours, mile after mile
Those chai stalls and the evening rain
Our secrets whispered, sweet and plain
Chorus
Soniya, I'm proud of you
Chasing dreams across the blue
Kyrgyzstan's mountains call your name
But I'll miss you just the same
Go on, spread your wings and fly
I'll be here, don't say goodbye
Verse 2
Remember when we broke the vase?
We blamed the cat and ran away
And all those nights we cried so hard
Then laughed until we saw the stars
Through every sorrow, every cheer
I'm grateful that you brought me here
Chorus
Soniya, I'm proud of you
Chasing dreams across the blue
Kyrgyzstan's mountains call your name
But I'll miss you just the same
Go on, spread your wings and fly
I'll be here, don't say goodbye
Bridge
The miles will stretch, but hearts stay close
In every sunset, you'll be most
My friend, my sister, my steady light
I'll keep your memory burning bright
Chorus
Soniya, I'm proud of you
Chasing dreams across the blue
Kyrgyzstan's mountains call your name
But I'll miss you just the same
Go on, spread your wings and fly
I'll be here, don't say goodbye
Outro
So here's to you, my dear Soniya
Fly high, and know I'm proud of you
