HOOK (OPENS THE SONG)
I don’t wait for the ground to fall
I step up before I feel tall
If the air gets thin, I breathe it in
I was made for new heights
⸻
VERSE 1
Windows down, city moving slow
Old fears fading in the afterglow
I don’t carry what I used to drag
I left the weight in a different past
Every mile feels lighter now
Every doubt just quieted out
I don’t need a sign or sound
I know where I’m headed now
⸻
POST-CHORUS (MELODY LIFTS, NO LYRICS FIRST PASS)
[ooo-oh / ahh harmonies]
⸻
VERSE 2
I don’t rush, I don’t rewind
I move steady, I move kind
What I lost gave me room
To grow into something new
I don’t prove, I don’t plead
I trust the pace I need
If it takes me time to rise
I’m still moving toward the sky
⸻
CHORUS (FULL)
I don’t wait for the ground to fall
I step up before I feel tall
If the air gets thin, I breathe it in
I was made for new heights
I don’t look back, I don’t fight
I don’t need fear to feel alive
Every step is still my win
I was made for new heights
⸻
BRIDGE (RHYTHM ONLY, SPOKEN-SUNG)
I used to think I needed more
Now I know what I’m walking toward
[beat snaps back in]
⸻
FINAL HOOK (STRIPPED THEN FULL)
[first half minimal]
I was made for new heights
[beat returns, brighter]
I was made for new heights
⸻
OUTRO
[instrumental fade, upward arpeggio]
