[Intro]
Morning light on the counter, flour in the air.
A kettle sighs, the oven hums a pulse I can hear.
[Verse 1]
Dawn spills flour as I lace up my apron.
A mountain of unbaked dough looms high, a ridge I strive to climb.
My starter has a mind of its own, rattling the glass with a dare.
It dreams of slipping through the door and escaping the glare.
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in patience, steady hands, steady mind.
The dough can wait, I will grow kind.
[Chorus]
Rise above the rest, I hear the loaf call my name.
Let every crumb tell the legend of a patient flame.
Breathe in, bake out glory, till the crust wears a crown.
We rise together, through heat and time, until we change the game.
[Verse 2]
I measure patience in cups, steady hands begin to glow.
The loaf swells taller in my heart, a legend I can show.
The stubborn starter murmurs, 'Rise above the rest!'
I answer with a hopeful whisk, putting doubt to the quest.
[Pre-Chorus]
One more knead, one more rise, and I will learn to wait.
The kitchen hums with courage, guided by fate.
[Chorus]
Rise above the rest, I hear the loaf call my name.
Let every crumb tell the legend of a patient flame.
Breathe in, bake out glory, till the crust wears a crown.
We rise together, through heat and time, until we change the game.
[Bridge]
In the oven's glow, we find what we were seeking all along.
The mountain fades to horizon, and I know I belong.
[Chorus]
Rise above the rest, rise above the rest!
Rise above the rest, till the loaf stands bold and blessed.
Rise above the rest, through patience, craft, and zest.
Rise above the rest, this dream is baked at last.
[Outro]
The loaf rests cool, the kitchen quiet and bright.
I wipe the flour from my hands, and I dare to write.
