[Intro]
Footsteps on a dusty road, a heartbeat in the air
The crowd is distant thunder, but I’m standing there
[Verse 1]
I wore the doubt like armor, heavy and hard to bear
Till a whisper peeled the silence, saying nothing’s left to fear
I traced the darkest corners, found a hallway to repair
And saw the faces waiting patient, with hands ready to share
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath by breath the line drew closer, walls began to fall away
A chorus rose from the old friends, guiding light in the fray
[Chorus]
We made it through, we held on true
Victory tastes like rain and dust on blue skies anew
Raise up the cheers, feel the rush pursue
Relief, pride, and praise—this moment’s ours, through and through
[Verse 2]
The obstacles lined like mountains, tall as memory can be
I climbed them one by stubborn one, with every step a decree
Then doors swung wide with open noise, a river of jubilee
And every hand that clapped announced the end of gravity
[Pre-Chorus]
We shared the sweat along the finish line, the slow and steady flame
Faces glowed with pride we built together, not one name to claim
[Chorus]
We made it through, we held on true
Victory tastes like rain and dust on blue skies anew
Raise up the cheers, feel the rush pursue
Relief, pride, and praise—this moment’s ours, through and through
[Bridge]
To the ones who steadied the helm, who whispered courage when I wavered
To the patient crew who carried the weight, when the road felt too laborious
I hear your footsteps in the triumph, I see your eyes, we were bravered
Together we wrote the ending, a story finally liberated
[Chorus]
We made it through, we held on true
Victory tastes like rain and dust on blue skies anew
Raise up the cheers, feel the rush pursue
Relief, pride, and praise—this moment’s ours, through and through
[Outro]
So here beneath the banner of dawn, I bow to the hands that stayed
And whisper thanks to every shadow stepped back as light won the day
The road behind glows softly with the memory we have made
We carry it forward, a spark to light the next parade
