[Intro]
I stand with the morning in my eyes, a quiet vow in my breath
[Verse 1]
A simple shirt, sleeves rolled tight, I face the unseen road
Brown pants, dark scarf fluttering slight, a steady beat in my code
No grand parade, just the promise I keep inside my chest
I walk toward the distance, where the limits dare to test
[Chorus]
This is the start, this is the way I choose
Inner fire guiding steps, I never lose
Through quiet days and stubborn miles I rise
I carry the dawn beneath these measured skies
[Verse 2]
Three quarters of a view, a front, a side, a back in one
I bear the weight of beginnings, with courage quietly spun
Not loud or loud-enough, but present, firm, and clear
The path ahead may bend, but I will persevere
[Chorus]
This is the start, this is the way I choose
Inner fire guiding steps, I never lose
Through quiet days and stubborn miles I rise
I carry the dawn beneath these measured skies
[Bridge]
If doubt comes whispering, I answer with a breath
A gaze that says I’m ready for what lies ahead
[Chorus]
This is the start, this is the way I choose
Inner fire guiding steps, I never lose
Through quiet days and stubborn miles I rise
I carry the dawn beneath these measured skies
[Outro]
From the first light to where the road unspools
Quiet strength, forward bound, I walk these truths
