[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, I lace my shoes again
Bare feet on cold floors, breathe in, breathe in
[Verse 1]
Morning steals the doubt, I keep the fire lit below
Hands shook, heart loud, but I won’t let it show
I chart the scars I wear like a map to go through
Step by step I learn the courage I can use
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear taps the window, I open it with a grin
Counting breaths, I tell myself I’ve waited long enough to begin
[Chorus]
I rise from the edge of fear and take the first brave turn
The storm inside quiets as the stubborn fire burns
Through every fall I find a way to stand anew
With every choice I move closer to the truth I’m due
[Verse 2]
The road is rough, but the shoulders I carry are mine
I’ve learned to trade what-ifs for a stubborn, hopeful line
Neighbors of doubt murmur, but I answer with my feet
Forward is the sound of resilience tapping a steady beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear taps the window, I open it with a grin
Counting breaths, I tell myself I’ve waited long enough to begin
[Chorus]
I rise from the edge of fear and take the first brave turn
The storm inside quiets as the stubborn fire burns
Through every fall I find a way to stand anew
With every choice I move closer to the truth I’m due
[Bridge]
If dawn can break through rain, I can break through me
If I choose to stand, I’ll write what I’ll become free
[Chorus]
I rise from the edge of fear and take the first brave turn
The storm inside quiets as the stubborn fire burns
Through every fall I find a way to stand anew
With every choice I move closer to the truth I’m due
[Outro]
New day, new breath, I’m walking toward the bright cue
Starting over, I’m not the same, I’m choosing through
