[Intro]
Open the gate
Open the gate
Heavy steps, steady heart
We don’t break, we start
[Verse 1]
I held my tongue too long
Counted every shadow
Made a wall of what-ifs
Around a little window
But your hand on my shoulder
Said, “Look at the road”
One breath, one move
And the whole sky glowed
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stay in the fear
I stay in the dark
If I reach for the spark
I can make a mark
No more weighing the fall
When the climb feels right
I can choose my lane
I can step tonight
[Chorus]
Open the gate
Let it swing wide
Open the gate
Step to the bright side
I’m not chasing ghosts
I’m chasing what’s mine
Open the gate
I’m alive, I’m alive
[Verse 2]
Every old warning
Wore my name out
Little borrowed voices
Saying “slow down”
But I’ve got a morning
In my chest now
Got a hundred good reasons
To move anyhow
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stay in the fear
I stay in the dark
If I reach for the spark
I can make a mark
No more weighing the fall
When the climb feels right
I can choose my lane
I can step tonight
[Chorus]
Open the gate
Let it swing wide
Open the gate
Step to the bright side
I’m not chasing ghosts
I’m chasing what’s mine
Open the gate
I’m alive, I’m alive
[Bridge]
Maybe the edge is near
Maybe it isn’t
Maybe the whole world bends
When you quit resisting
I don’t need perfect
I need a start
One clear yes
And a fearless heart
[Final Chorus]
Open the gate
Let it swing wide
Open the gate
Step to the bright side
I’m not chasing ghosts
I’m chasing what’s mine
Open the gate
I’m alive, I’m alive
Open the gate
Open the gate
What is possible
That’s where I stay
