Present Power

[Intro] Sunrise on the street, coffee in my cup Hammers sing in rhythm, steady and loud enough I lace my shoes, the pavement knows my pace Today I rise with a smile, I’m chasing my own race [Verse 1] I’m all in, hands to the wheel, I push through the grime Little wins stack up, one by one, step by step in time The clock ticks like a drumbeat to a stubborn, hopeful song I’ve built this moment with my own two hands all day long [Pre-Chorus] Breath in, doubt out, I carry what I’ve earned From the first small spark, to the lessons I’ve learned [Chorus] I’m living in the now, with a plan in my stride Every brick of effort, makes the dream feel wide Here’s to the sweat and the quiet, stubborn sun Today I finished what I started, and I’m not done [Verse 2] Neighbors wave hello, proof that effort pays a visit I’m stacking patience like those sunsets across the river’s twin it There’s joy in the grind, in the honest, steady pace In knowing I’ve given my all, and finding calm in the race [Pre-Chorus] Breath in, doubt out, I carry what I’ve earned From the first small spark, to the lessons I’ve learned [Chorus] I’m living in the now, with a plan in my stride Every brick of effort, makes the dream feel wide Here’s to the sweat and the quiet, stubborn sun Today I finished what I started, and I’m not done [Bridge] If the road gets long, I’ll keep my head high One more mile, one more goal, one more try I’m built to endure, I’m built to rise With every sunrise, I’m choosing the prize [Chorus] I’m living in the now, with a plan in my stride Every brick of effort, makes the dream feel wide Here’s to the sweat and the quiet, stubborn sun Today I finished what I started, and I’m not done [Outro] So I raise my hands, and I thank the day For teaching me to work, and show me the way The present matters most when I’m moving toward the light And I’m grateful for the work, turning effort into right
