Small Ride, Big Joy

[Intro] In the morning light the village wakes slow A green giant smiles, learns to go with the flow [Verse 1] Hammered by battles, I wore gravity like stone Today I pedal softly, finding a gentler throne Winds kiss the leaves as wheels hum on the road I’m breaking the thunder with a small, steady code [Chorus] Riding through the square, I lift my hopeful grin Bumps in the path, but joy starts from within Neighbors wave as I roll by, steady and free This simple ride is where I’m meant to be [Verse 2] Hills whisper up ahead, I rise with the breeze Every turn a new rhythm, a pause from the siege I wobble, I learn, I keep moving on The village lights sparkle like a brave new dawn [Chorus] Riding through the square, I lift my hopeful grin Bumps in the path, but joy starts from within Neighbors wave as I roll by, steady and free This simple ride is where I’m meant to be [Bridge] Old scars fade to laughter on the cobblestone lanes The whistle of tires echoes warm, like rain If I fall, I rise with a giggle and try again Joy is a bicycle, and I’m grinning through the pain [Chorus] Riding through the square, I lift my hopeful grin Bumps in the path, but joy starts from within Neighbors wave as I roll by, steady and free This simple ride is where I’m meant to be [Outro] Wheel by wheel, the world learns my new pace Hulk hearts a little lighter in this quiet place
