Lyrics

Verse 1

Rain on the pavement, shoes worn thin,

Life keeps throwing questions, I answer with a grin.

Bills on the table, nights too long,

But my feet keep moving when the world feels wrong.

I’ve been down that road where the lights burn low,

Learned how to sway when the cold winds blow.

Every scar got rhythm, every tear got time,

I turn my pain into a reason to shine.

Pre-Chorus

I bend, I don’t break, I lean into the sound,

Every fall I’ve taken taught me how to rebound.

Chorus

I’m dancing through the hardship, slow and true,

Like I always did, like I always do.

Smile on my face, though the night feels long,

Heart full of hope, keeps pulling me on.

Mind full of ideas, dreams dressed in blue,

I know I’ll make it through — yeah, I always do.

Verse 2

Coffee at sunrise, thoughts drifting wide,

Ideas like birds got nowhere to hide.

The world spins fast, but I find my pace,

Soft-step living in a hard-edged space.

I’ve missed a few trains, lost some time,

But the song in my chest still stays in time.

Every wrong turn showed me a better view,

Every dark sky cracked open something new.

Pre-Chorus

I breathe in the moment, let the doubt slide by,

When the weight gets heavy, I just lift my eyes.

Chorus

I’m dancing through the hardship, calm and strong,

Been here before, I know I belong.

Smile on my face, even bruised and tried,

Heart full of hope I refuse to hide.

Mind full of ideas, lighting my way,

I’ve made it this far — I’ll make it again.

Bridge

Soft horns crying, piano speaks low,

Life hums a blues that I already know.

I don’t rush the beat, let the rhythm decide,

Some storms you don’t fight — you just glide.

Verse 3

Years keep talking, I keep listening close,

To the lessons you learn when you need them most.

I’m not chasing perfect, I’m chasing true,

That quiet inner voice that pulls me through.

I’ve smiled in the mirror after rough nights alone,

Said, “You’re still standing, you’ve already grown.”

Tomorrow got questions, but I’m ready to start,

With a steady step soul and an open heart.

Final Chorus

Still dancing through the hardship, smooth and free,

Every chapter wrote resilience in me.

Smile on my face, whatever I face,

Heart full of hope, unbreakable grace.

Mind full of ideas, skies wide and blue,

I’ve always made it through — and I always will too.

Outro

So let the night swing, let the daylight sway,

I’ll keep on dancing, come what may.
