[Verse 1: Female]
They pinned my future to the kitchen door
A steady job, a key, a second floor
I learned the shape of every safe reply
But something restless kept me asking why
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
If I stay, I know the road
Every turn and every stone
If I leave, the map goes white
But the unknown feels alive
[Verse 2: Male]
You don't owe the world a smaller flame
A quiet room can still forget your name
Take the fear and let it ride beside you
There are bigger skies than those who guide you
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
You can hear the call beneath
All the rules they made you keep
One hard step beyond the line
And the choice becomes your life
[Chorus: Female and Male]
[Female] I could be the girl they planned
[Male] Or the one who makes a stand
[Female] With a trembling heart and open hands
[Both] I will go where my dream demands
[Both]
Let the old walls fall behind
Leave the borrowed life confined
If I lose the road I knew
I may find what I was born to do
[Drop: Both]
Run toward the thunder
Run toward the flame
No one can choose it
No one can claim
Run toward the thunder
Call out my name
I’m done being careful
I’m changing the game
[Verse 3: Female]
My suitcase holds a dress, a book, a thread
A photograph of everything they said
I kiss the forehead of the girl I was
Then turn the handle just because
[Bridge: Male]
And if the night comes hard and cold
Remember, brave is not the same as bold
It’s one more breath, one more mile
A broken voice that learns to smile
[Bridge: Female]
I hear the doubts, but I hear me too
The life I want is finally coming through
[Final Chorus: Female and Male]
[Female] I could be the girl they planned
[Male] Or the one who makes a stand
[Female] With a trembling heart and open hands
[Both] I will go where my dream demands
[Both]
Let the old walls fall behind
Leave the borrowed life confined
If I lose the road I knew
I will find what I was born to do
[Outro: Female and Male]
[Female] I choose the door
[Male] I choose the sky
[Both] I choose the question over one safe reply
