Verse 1]
I walk a road that feels open
Like it was meant for my feet
I don’t carry fear in my pockets
I don’t flinch when I breathe
There’s a calm in my nervous system
Like safety was built into me
I didn’t earn it by suffering
I was given it quietly
[Pre-Chorus]
Some people call it luck
Some call it strength in my bones
I call it love that stood in front of me
Before I ever walked alone
[Chorus]
Because you were there
I get to live light
I don’t confuse pain
With earning my life
Because you were there
I trust the ground I’m on
I don’t spend my days surviving
I get to move forward strong
[Verse 2]
I see the world clearly
But it doesn’t crush my chest
I know how to hold compassion
Without abandoning myself
I don’t feel chased by the past
It doesn’t pull at my name
I get to choose who I become
Without dragging old flames
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the weight before it reached me
You stood where it stopped
I didn’t have to be hardened
To know how to be solid
[Chorus]
Because you were there
I don’t live on defense
I don’t mistake chaos
For being intense
Because you were there
I know peace is real
I don’t fear calm
I know how it feels
[Bridge]
I know what you carried
Even if I never felt it
I see your strength
In the way my life opens
You didn’t teach me pain
You taught me possibility
[Final Chorus]
Because you were there
I live unafraid
I don’t owe my life
To debts already paid
Because you were there
I get to choose joy
Not as rebellion
But as my natural voice
[Outro]
I walk free
Not because I forgot
But because you remembered first
Everything you ended
Became my beginning
