[Intro]
I came with the miles on my jacket
And a map full of places I made
Every mark is a part of the magic
Every turn is a choice that I claimed
[Verse 1]
Look at me now, no edit, no mask
I learned my worth from the weight of the past
Gold in the cracks, got fire in the frame
I stopped asking permission to say my name
Had to walk through the doubt with my chin held high
Had to lose a few doors just to build my sky
Now the engine is ready, the road is mine
I put truth in the tank and I cross that line
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world gets loud, I get louder
If the climb gets steep, I go farther
Every mile says I’m still becoming
I’m not running from where I’m coming from
[Chorus]
I wear my beauty like a battle flag
Own every chapter, every photograph
Hands on the wheel, heart on the dash
I turn the hard road into something that lasts
I am the story they couldn’t erase
I am the fire they couldn’t replace
No looking back when the whole sky calls
I rise, I drive, I give it my all
[Drop]
All in, all in, I’m alive
No fear, no fear, watch me drive
Break through, break through, take the night
My scars don’t hide me, they light me right
[Verse 2]
I know the mirror has questions to ask
I answer with grace, then I step on the gas
No borrowed shine, no costume to keep
This face held the line when the hurt ran deep
I made peace with the days I was barely afloat
Put a promise in every unfinished note
Now the rhythm of my pulse says go
There’s a future ahead and I’m taking control
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world gets loud, I get louder
If the climb gets steep, I go farther
Every mile says I’m still becoming
I’m not running from where I’m coming from
[Chorus]
I wear my beauty like a battle flag
Own every chapter, every photograph
Hands on the wheel, heart on the dash
I turn the hard road into something that lasts
I am the story they couldn’t erase
I am the fire they couldn’t replace
No looking back when the whole sky calls
I rise, I drive, I give it my all
[Bridge]
To the younger me, I see you now
You survived what you never knew how
Take your name, take your space, take your breath
You are more than the things that you left
[Final Chorus]
I wear my beauty like a battle flag
Own every chapter, every photograph
Hands on the wheel, heart on the dash
I turn the hard road into something that lasts
I am the story they couldn’t erase
I am the fire they couldn’t replace
No looking back when the whole sky calls
I rise, I drive, I give it my all
[Outro]
Every mile, every scar, every sunrise I choose
This is my road, my voice, my truth
