Rising From the Street

[Intro] Footsteps on concrete, breath steady, heart loud I carry tomorrow in these hands, beneath a clouded crowd [Verse 1] From cracked sidewalks, I learned to rise Dust in my eyes, fire in my eyes They said I’d fail, that I’d fade away But I kept my pace, I found my say Rope of doubt tightened, I found my ground Sowed hope in the dirt, and watched it rebound [Chorus] I won’t give up, I’ll climb through the night Dreams stay alive when the world doubts my light One step, then more, I’m moving toward the sun With every breath I’m proving I’ve just begun [Verse 2] Friends by my side, steady and true They pull me forward when I’m blue Hard work is rhythm, faith is the beat I’m building a future, brick by brick beneath Obstacles whisper, “you cannot win” I answer with hustle, with will from within [Chorus] I won’t give up, I’ll climb through the night Dreams stay alive when the world doubts my light One step, then more, I’m moving toward the sun With every breath I’m proving I’ve just begun [Bridge] If the road gets heavy, I’ll shoulder the weight If I stumble, I’ll rise, recalibrate Hope is a compass I refuse to ignore Forward is the only direction I know [Chorus] I won’t give up, I’ll climb through the night Dreams stay alive when the world doubts my light One step, then more, I’m moving toward the sun With every breath I’m proving I’ve just begun [Outro] I’m growing taller with every mile I gain Faith in the future guides this unbreakable chain Forward, onward, with honest hands I’ll run Until the horizon says, you’ve finally won
